[deleted post]Assuming the phone doesn't have any issues. I would say that would be a steal (great deal).
However, I would also recommend you to check all the sensors of the phone first. I know it's your neighbour I should not judge. but just to make sure that you're 20k doesn't go in waste and make it make you feel that you don't want to change the phone for next 2 years :)
You can find the code, just google 'Secret code to test sensors'.
I you feel you need to ask something else, just reply here :)

Anonymous, 31 Mar 2014Thanks of replying and yeah I read your detailed comment of... moreThe only problem that you might face after getting this mobile is battery issue.
There's no other problem.
Now if you're worried about having problem with 4.3 JB Update. SIMPLE answer don't do it. I took a risk that's it. :) and I'm doing fine as of now and believe my i use my phone a lot.
Keep it on 4.1 JB it's great as well. Wait till you get 4.4 Kitkat then just upgrade it.
It will keep your mobile safe as well.
You can try a bunch of applications.
One i'd suggest it LUXlite. it's a automatic brightness controller. It sometimes goes into minus for brightenss like in full dark areas where a light would work for your phone.
Secondly, Battery is gonna drain you can't stop it. Although in this price range with such a screen this one is great. I wanted a less than 5 inch screen. I don't like big phones coming out of my pocket.
Also it feels awkwark to handle a phone with two hands, unless you have one big hand. I'm a normal guy so i chose a phone with 4.6 inch screen n m proud of my choice.
About camera it's great. as it has bravia Engine 2. But just to let you aware pics in the phone and laptop would appear differently. in phone it looks great in laptop or other devices again it's dependent on hardware.
Now I've had a look at Xperia C front camera. it's way bad. I find this one pretty decent. It works perfectly.
To use camera you can go for superior mode or just normal i'd suggest normal.
One more important thing, it's speaker (receiver specially) is a big disappointment (every Xperia has same issues) but using earphone(handsfree) works for me. I prefer it (m kinda deaf as well lol )
In short chosing this phone you won't regret. IT's just I've found solution to every problem.
You can ask direct questions like what you are looking forward to see in this phone, I'll tell you what my experience is and I believe by the end of this day you'll get this phone :) and will enjoy it as well.

Anonymous, 31 Mar 2014For how long time the phone lasts while downloading on cell... moreSince it's LTE it takes like about 30 mins to download a 1gb movie. I can download around 10 movies without having my battery drain and i still have like 15% battery. Well using cellular data while downloading and surfing the web at the same time eats a lot of battery. Its normal because this is a high powered quadcore phone so its normal..

Anonymous, 29 Mar 2014Seriously heard it from a lot of zr users about it's blueto... morei dont know what people are experiencing but i had ZR on January 1 2014 and up till now there has been no issue with it. the bluetooth works excellently likewise the wifi. mine is c5502 and runs jb 4.3. with the wifi sony implemented a feature that automatically disconnects the wifi if you dont have good wifi signals so that you can use data connection. it could be disable. i have disabled mine so the connection stays on even if the signal is not good. this phone is great but the inability to install apps on sd is the pitfall. you can root it if you like, in order to have a total control of the ZR

Finally I bought the phone. :)
Happy with the performance and camera and otherthings as well.
ALl that needs to be taken care of is battery which I still feel is pretty much like any other android phone.
Let see I'll take some time to actually give a review about this phone's battery .. If battery lasted for more than a day. I would say this would be the best phone ever made. in 25k INR range

I don't recommend buying this as a waterproof phone. The flap for the earphones is very prone to wear. Over a period of opening and closing the flap, it doesn't close as firmly as when you bought it. Just got word from the service centre that they're not going to cover the water damage due to this. PS. Yes I made sure the flap is closed as tightly as possible before submerging it in water. I actually had my doubts before going in but I wanted to trust Sony's design. My bad I suppose.
