                                After using it for a week, i must say that i'm highly disappointed as this one doesn't even have a basic function of a phone i.e,call clarity,i can't even hear the person calling me,the incoming call voice is too low,secondly after updating it to ICS the camera has become terrible,the flash light has become ineffective,it works like photo light,before the update camera was working fine.Finally getting rid of it today,will have to bear the loss,but atleast i'll get a phone in which i can hear the person calling me.

                                    I have been using this phone for the past
                                    week or so. When I review a phone I look at
                                    the usability, its performance and efficiency
                                    along with music quality. Here are the things
                                    I found out while using this phone
                                    Performance - For a mid range smartphone,
                                    this phone works pretty well. The animations
                                    are snappy and there is hardly any lag ever.
                                    Response time in starting applications and
                                    application performance is also quite good.
                                    Usability - The customization over Android
                                    done by Sony is pretty neat. I like the
                                    minimalistic and sober approach, it makes a
                                    gadget look like a gadget. Nothing is
                                    overdone, nothing left out either. The blend
                                    is near perfect. Within a few taps you have
                                    access to pretty much everything. Efficiency/
                                    Battery life - I use my phone for tethering
                                    and connecting to the Internet. Thus it
                                    recharges and it's hard to get a correct
                                    estimate, though when I did use it for a few
                                    days without tethering I found that with
                                    moderate usage the phone does get you
                                    through the day. I mostly use it for music
                                    and frequent browsing. It won't last two
                                    days on one charge but most smartphones
                                    don't anyway. Though the new Novathor
                                    chipset is supposed to consume 40-60%
                                    less power, still Sony could have done their
                                    customers a favour and kept a 1500 mAh
                                    battery instead of 1320 mAh. Still it's not a
                                    complete deal breaker. Music Quality -
                                    Earlier I used to have a Nokia C7 and that
                                    had a very decent deep sound experience,
                                    here the sound is not as deep as that but it's
                                    a small difference, the volume is acceptable
                                    on earphones and the quality is decent,
                                    equalizers can help you make tweaks but
                                    being an audiophile I keep them flat, only
                                    ClearBass and SurroundSound suffice for
                                    me. Bass is nicer that way. Btw I use
                                    Sennheiser CX-300 noise isolation plugs, the
                                    experience on stock headphones is never a
                                    justification of the quality of the device.
                                    Camera - I don't use my mobile for
                                    photography hence I am not too concerned
                                    with this but the shutter key is next to a
                                    failure, you need to press it really hard.
                                    Anyway images are average in normal light,
                                    daylight photos are decent. There's too
                                    much noise reduction and the colours are a
                                    bit washed out the look is akin to water
                                    colours a bit. There is no front camera and
                                    people rant about that a lot, I am not
                                    concerned about it, if that is a must have
                                    priority please don't buy Sola but don't rant
                                    either. There are plenty of options in the
                                    market, I agree had the front camera been
                                    there it might have been more complete but
                                    it's certainly not bad. That leaves the
                                    floating touch and storage to be discussed. I
                                    don't really use the floating touch though it
                                    works fine most times than not. Also since
                                    you have an expandable card slot storage is
                                    not an issue. Sola is currently running
                                    Gingerbread 2.3.7 and it's a nice experience
                                    at that, with ICS there will be significant
                                    performance improvements so the
                                    experience will most likely be better still.
                                    Hope this helps.
