And even though"traditional" video calling has played an important part, namely, on the sales volume of the galaxy S2 (they're even advertised, here in Europe as one of the PLUSes of the phone)...
Even when I - emotionally, maybe - wish (and act so) things weren't so...
I'm afraid you are absolutely right!
Congratulations on a wise, sensible and intelligent view of this issue!
Thank you for sharing your thoughful views!

sascha, 22 Apr 2012That is true.

Heck, even for their new phones, it will take a significant investment in manpower, time and money to develop. And since they're not really doing so well in the market, they would rather invest all this in more 'cool' and flashy technologies which would attract the attention of new buyers. Ask yourself honestly, what would sound more enticing to a newbie buyer already conditioned by apple-like marketing campaigns? Unibody/liquidmetal/7G/floatingtouch OR plain old video calling?
Now when you consider that the play, like many of the older phones are probably at EOL, with very few pieces even available in the market, would they spend so much investment on this when they're not even doing it for newer phones? We've already bought our phones, Sony will gain nothing by giving us more, just maybe a teeny-weeny little bit more reputation as a post-sales customer-centric company. Now if new buyers, say of the xperia S etc. would demand native 3g calls and Sony's market research concludes that this feature would indeed boost sales, then maybe they would develop this. But honestly, it doesn't look good for us older users.
And most importantly, I doubt many of Sony's team are going to be trawling through these many posts here looking for ways to improve customer satisfaction. We need to make our voice heard where it counts, like on petitions and directly contacting Sony officials.

Brands need to include specific programmes to allow 3g 'automatic' video calling and sony need to do it fast if they don't want to lose (any more) customers.
Not everyone has free wifi or affordable data plans and why the need for downloading additional programmes and occupying more memory?
Both older sony phones and current android phones allow choosing voice or video call when making any call. why doesn't sony include that in their newer phones?
Including video calling possibility will never hurt sony and it will earn them many more buyers, just look around to other brands that have video calling and their sales numbers.

It's a good cellphone. Single-core, but the performance is very good. My Xperis Plays is running in 1,6ghz, and I play all the games optimized to him, without problems. But the camera don't have much contrast. At all, the phone is very good. I want ro buy the Xperia S next year 8D

AnonD-8690, 20 Apr 2012For all those moaning- there is video calling over 3g, now ... moreAs I've mentioned before, in Iberia (continental Europe) my Vodafone plan (NO advertising intended)is as follows:
15€ Month including unlimited Voice and Voice calls to phones w same price plan (useful for the family).
Internet Access/Data Plan - It's an extra and you have to pay an extra 5,56€ per month to get 100Mb (also per month).
Calls to other operators and home phones are charged from the 15€ you pay monthly.
I usually end up with money left, but not enough to pay for any data plan.
This phone does NOT allow 3G "proprietary" video calls. he samsung does, htc also.
You select a contact and you choose whether to make a voice call, clicking the appropriate icon, os a video call, which automatically opens your front camera window (a small window on the bottom left corner, so you know what you are showing the other party.
On the main window, you'll see the person you are talking to. No need for WiFi or data connections, just clicking as any other "normal" voice call.
That's the point of having 3G video calls. I knoe the definition is not accurate, as data calls are made possible via 3G, but that's the way we call it here, as video calls only became available and popular after the implementation of 3G networks.
As I've already stated, my older Vodafone Sony v630 still works and allows video calls. My relatives' Window Mobile HTCs And Android Samsung phones all have native video calls.
I am the one with the newest phone (since Christmas) and I can't make video calls with my new phone and that's pretty stupid, as it wouuld be simple to allow it if Google didn't want to end up with this type of video calls which are only profitable for operators such as Telefonica, Orange and Vodafone, but NOT profitable to Google...
That means that I have been forced to take my old sony phone along to make video calls, which is something we do quite regularly amongst friends and family, or whenever we travel or go on trips to somewhere new.
That is why we'll keep on demanding, asking for, "moaning about", if you wish, having video calls... something practical, useful, unexpensive, widely available and that doesn't stop other users from making their video calls via WiFi or data plans, if they wish or prefer to do so.
Granting 3G native video calls to Xperia phones wouldn't hurt anyone and would definitely enlarge the marketing and sales potential of the series (compared to samsungs, for example).
More features=More sales/More buyers.
It's really a win-win situation.

Ive got live walkman but ive noticed play has stereo speakers as well. How loud are they in comparison? Are they the same speakers? Live is much louder than rest of xperias but is this the same with play? I know play is a thick phone but does this affect its usability as a normal phone when not gaming?
