      After using xperia u for about a week (bought it last week), it runs 2.3 gb and no plan updating 4.0 ics yet, here's the good and bad things about the phone based from my experience:

      pros:

      ---very impressive display clarity, almost look like the iphone4s'....just awesome!
      ---powerful LED flash
      ---very nice HD video (i used to own a phone capable of shooting VGA only so no complaints)
      ---camera quality looks decent and sharp...just don't zoom^^
      ---camera's focusing speed is fast
      ---2gb of storage for apps...so far only 500mb used. as of now, no evident lags using the default launcher. for me, 1gb will suffice...I'm not the app-hungry type.
      ---love the new look of user interface...better than the 2011 xperia line-up
      ---very satisfied with the default music player. It has clear bass and custom equalizer...no need to look for another player (for me).
      ---battery is average...9-12 hrs of heavy use
      ---illumination bar doesn't seem to drain battery much as expected, but it can be turned off with an app.
      ---default browser is fast..opera mini even faster
      ---nice matte back cover finish



      cons:(at least on my xperia u)

      ---terrible loudspeaker sound output...probably my only main problem about this phone. this is my third phone from sony (2 previous sony ericssons), I must say this is the worst. xloud feature is a joke for xperia u. turning it on only makes the output cracked and distorted...and it's not that loud as it should. hoping the ICS update will fix this.

      The only solution I did with the loudspeaker, which I find quite effective, is this:

      1. turn off xloud
      2. download Speaker Boost from Play Store
      3. follow the apps' instruction
      4. in my case, I set the apps' maximum volume boost to 40 and media volume to maximum.

      It's not as loud as it should even with speaker boost is on (even set to 100) but at least the cracked sound is now gone.

        hadi, 27 Nov 2012iwanna help dudes! which 0ne is better:galaxy ace+ or Xperia u?If you dont care abt speed and screen clarity, go for ace plus. If you dont care abt memory card, go for u.
        Except for memory card option, U is way better than ace plus.

                  Hello People,

                  I have a question regarding the SW. I´m not sure if I should update my phone with the Sony PC Companian software to ICS.

                  After the update, is it possible to make the downgrade do GB with PC Companian?

                  Thanks

                      Is d ICS update for xperia U globally released or is it region specific??
                      Heard that in some regions that sony has fixed ICS to be more stable
                      is this true?
                      If yes will this new update be available in India??
                      Thanks in advance

                          Guys should i really update to ICS??
                          I am not a heavy multitasker
                          but certainly like the smooth interface on GB.
                          Only worry is the battery backup.
                          Will the upgrade to ICS solve battery backup issues??

                                  Anonymous, 26 Nov 2012Takes a full sized standard simcard, not a mini-sim as desc... moreWhat you refer to as full-size is actually mini. A full-size SIM is the same size as a credit card, which mobile phones have not used for many years now. Most phones currently and in recent history (including the Xperia U) use mini-SIMs, though a few (mostly Apple) are moving to micro and nano SIMs, primarily to make it more awkward to switch networks.
