Amit, 08 Sep 2012I'm in big dilemma which one shoould i go for HTC Explorer ... moreObviously Sony Tipo. I know it costs 1k or 2k more than HTC Explorer but it is worth it. Tipo comes with ics pre-installed so it will run really smoothly since it is tweaked to run on a 800MHz processor. If you buy HTC Explorer and update it to ics(I'm not sure of an ics update for Explorer) it wont run as smooth as Tipo.

Also, Tipo has a better display.

And you must have read that @Angel007 is testing a few HD games so you can check his posts to see if all the HD games work on it.(I'm doing the same)

I'm waiting for this phone along with Miro. I'm thinking of buying this as my first android phone....

Can't wait to get my hands on this one.

        Amit, 08 Sep 2012Hey Rish i'm not able to find tipo on homeshop18 & ebay... moreif you want to buy Xperia Tipo dual for rs 9500
        then check the first ad on this page and follow instructions
        http://superdeals.homeshop18.com/deals/sony-samsung-superdeal/

        if you want to buy xperia tipo for rs 8500 , then go to shopping.indiatimes.com , add xperia tipo to your ccart and apply CARNIVAL at checkout.

        and if you are confused , which 1 to buy . see explorer will have no lags while tipo will have . because ics is very heavy on singlecore hardware.
        the only two problems you will have with explorer is battery life and internal memory . internalmemory problem can be solved without rooting. and explorer battery lasts for 1 day

M agree that applying discount coupon code u can get it @ lowlest price,but nt sure abt quality and warranty provided by online store.there r many complain regarding to it. As u knw we don't need 2 root xperia tipo co'z it's internal memory(2.5GB) is sufficiet for a android,so don't bother abt bootloader.and afer rooting,ur warranty will void.and one important thing tipo is HTML5 enabled, Whta abt explorer? I think not.

                      why didnt my earlier post got published ? anyways to answer your query i got mine from ebay.in with 10 % discount code on Rs 8000.
                      8000 - 800 = 7200 .
                      ohh by the way xperia tipo dual is available on homeshop18 for Rs 9500 in superdeals.homeshop18.com.
                      And regarding htc locking bootloader . Xperia tipo will also have its bootloader locked , just like other xperias

                        AnonD-30459, 07 Sep 2012Wht the hell r u talking abt? Htc explorer never beat xperi... morewell , you just have to be aware . see you can get htc explorer on shopping.indiatimes for rs 7500 now . and you can get sony xperia tipo also for rs 8500 on shopping.indiatimes.com
                        just apply the code at checkout . the code is CARNIVAL. you will get 10 % off.

                        secondly, i have used ics on my allwinner tab at 1.2 ghz with mali 400. it works good but you can fell the lag and glitches it causes time to time . tried 4.0 to 4.04 and it even lags on one v with snapdragon s2 in it. i am saying if you dont want to root , the performance of explorer will be snappier than tipo. despite tipo having overclock processor. check the reviews on youtube. and if you root it basically there is no differnce in tipo and explorer as chipset is same except the internal memory and battery .

Htc explorer never beat xperia tipo.explore is nowhere available @7200 INR. It's lowlest price on online store is 7800 INR. And in store it cost 8200-8800 INR. As far as rooting htc phone,it's difficult and risky.bco'z htc has locked it's bootloader.after clocking processor, performance will b affected.so think twice before rooting and overclocking.

                              Ten, 05 Sep 2012Is it better than LG L3 ? Thanks...I think this is better then L3. L3 has a lot of performance issue. All forum site I visited always have a post about software problems and very bad screen (not the pixels but the color quality itself).
