        I am new to Android smartphones. How many hours this mobile has to be charged after I buy the mobile? I mean, the first charge.

        Also I read that mobile has to be switched off when charging for the first time. Please advise on the same.

            Sean, 23 May 2012Does it really matter about viewing angles?? Seriously who ... moreDid you answer rest of the question?? well as far as viewing angles are , i think its good if the colors don't get fade as in ambled screens... and regarding the force close , it does depend on your mobile , since i have neo v with ics , sony said that there will be performance issues with the same due to 512MB RAM, i was just asking for the same on xperia u if there is some issue on 2.3.7

                            there is no memory card slot hard to understand this would have been killer mobile if it had a card slot sony have missed a trick .android platform needs a lot of memory apps games are very huge.and hd videos take alot if space

                              Wow, lots of lovers and haters of the Xperia U...

                              I'v heard that there have been compatibility problems in the past between the Sony's Timescape UI and Android, has this problem been fixed with the Xperia U?

                              Is the lagging just when watching HD movies? How about web browsing/running apps/sound quality?

                                Xperia U & USB OTG---

                                USB OTG - the next level of technology....
                                Recently, I had bought Xperia U and as known there is limited memory with no memory card slot...so I was missing the expansion of the memory...then I was through the user's opinion here in Gsmarena...and came to find out thru web friends (Sandeep & Sanj94) that there is a support for USB OTG in Xperia U....
                                I bought a cable and tried following things....and it worked fine... :-)
                                1) We can use pendrive/memory card readers etc... with Xperia U thru USB OTG cable...and now the limited memory problem is solved....
                                2) We can connect a USB mouse directly to phone thru USB OTG cable ...it works fine!!!...We can use mouse with phone - just for fun!!! left clicks selects an app...double click opens app...scroll works fine..scroll click opens (android) menu....right clicks makes us return to previous screen.
                                3) I am missing USB keyboard since I use a laptop...
                                but I have wireless mouse and keyboard....I had attached wireless transmitter to phone using USB OTG cable....and I was able to use mouse and keyboard with my phone....made my feel like I am using tiny computer.....computer keyboard made the input to phone much faster and easier.....I can use it for chatting, blogging, emailing...and guess what not!!

                                In future I think devices with USB OTG facility and alike phone are going to replace heavy computers CPUs from our homes....
                                Three cheers for USB OTG support!!!

                                    don't buy this phone. belive it or not, it has 1,60 SAR value for european standards. it's ridiculous.

                                    xperia sola has 1,20. again too much.

                                        Hi, I m looking forward to buy this phone and I also got a chance to put my hands on this phone for trial before buying. One thing which I have noticed is the touch sensitivity. When compared with HTC One V having a single core processor, the touch of xperia U is having some lag. HTC sense is very smooth to touch and running without any lag. Does anybody else also noticed somthing like this? Currently I am using xperia mini pro, the touch of which is very smooth, so I have expected much better from xperia U.
