Is it any good ? is it worth the price £90 price tag ?
I want one only because it would look cool on the hand but other than that is it worth it or is it just a gimmick?
If Its anything like the liveview then no. I literally wee'd a little when I first heard about it, bought one and it was poo poo. Kept disconnecting and was just useless.
Unless this new one has fixed the connectivity issues then I'm giving it a miss
brought to you by the XDA app on my badass Android toy
I'd wait until it's a bit cheaper. And yes, the liveview wasn't very good.
BTW, shouldn't this be in the accessoires section?
Moved to Q&A Section, in the future please post question there! Hope you get your answer!

M in total confusion which one to buy
I liked d bigger screen of htc pro 2 and 5 row keypad over 4 rows of x1...
But I really really miss the 3.5 mm jack on touch pro2
Tp2 n X1 both are sexy... Awesome mobiles but x1s made of metal which is really cool..
Hardware specs are almost same except these two differences...
Which would you ppl prefer ?????

This is so true!!
But it doesn't have to take a few months for thwe cracks to appear.
Some Xperias have had cracks out of the box.
My xperia cracked 5 times and then I got tired of it and got a refund.
The xperia is a very competent device, but the cracks make it useless.
I too wanna go for tp2 .... Any serious issues seen in tp2 ?? It will come to India after june15 th may be so I wanna checkout d hardware defects .. If u know any then mention it ......
I've had a few Xperias, as have some of my friends, and for us there's been no issue with cracks; it's not a problem everyone faces!
I've replied to your same question in the Xperia section, and reckon you should try both. I'm going to get TP2, compare with my Xperia, then sell the one I don't want, as both are great devices with relative good and bad points about each.
I would go for the TP2 because:
1. Bigger screen
2. Better keyboard
3. WM6.5 upgrade with TF3D v2
4. Tilt Screen
Only let down 3.5mm jack, blah! So let it be!

Not yet Orb, I'm waiting for my carrier tmobile to get it 7/22 so that I can have a less expensive upgrade, warrenty, and the correct 3G bands! But, Don't know if I can wait that long
How about U?
I have an xperia x1 for around 2 months now and its been a good and bad experience with it. From time to time its really slow because I use the stock rom and i hate the media player compared to the iphone. The good thing i like about it is definetely build quality as everyone who has seen it are all shocked of how sexy it is and the fact that I love the 3.5mm head phone jack as well as a radio panel thumbs up lol. Right now I'm already starting to take a look on the touch pro 2 as its really a pain to browse on the xperia but slider is super slick how this helps
TP2 without a doubt
TP2 all the way.
The X1 is a good phone but has many problems. I had one for a few months but in the end let it go as I just found myself getting more and more frustrated with it than actually enjoying it. With the TP2 your will be paying a premium being new if you have the money the choice is easy.
A major positive You will be getting great software/rom updates to come with WM 6.5 just around the corner which will give the TP2 a new face lift.
Just bought one tonight so I should have mine in a few days can't wait.
God damn you people and you're retarded post about this vs that and that vs this >.> How about you do this:
1. Compare specs of the two phones from the sites
2. Go to the individual sections of the phone and check out what people have to say about it.
3. If you see someone with both teh phones you're comparing, ask them.
Stop posting threads like this because people will only respond in their choosing. And you're asking in A TP2 section >.> Of course the answer will obviously be TP2 by majority. Try asking in the X1 section and you'll find the same for the X1.

I know it's hard to wait. I have been waiting since it was announced So jealous of the British users. Makes me want to go back and live in the UK again. Ha ha ha...
We don't get it until mid June. I don't know if I can wait either and just over it over the web... but that will cost me twice as much and I won't get any discount packages (data) from my carrier. Damn, it's a dilemma.

Yeah, he lacks the logic.
But to the OP, if you want an excellent MP3 player, get the Xperia X1
It's media panel is the best looking and the new version is really fast and intuitive. It also has 3.5 mm headphone jack. It also has a flash LED for the camera unlike the TP2.
Other than that Touch Pro2 is better than the Xperia.
I had this dilemma too but ruled out the X1 due to the cracks issue, some people have returned this phone like 7 times.
I'd choose the Diamond 2 over the X1 let alone the TP2.

Same case as you my friend
To wait or not wait
ive been using my xperia for 7 months now very good device, but not stock though you have to put touch-it rom or touch-x rom on the x1 basically the same UI as the touch pro 2...so if you get the X1 you can try out the UI and see how u like it ... great device i would say i have my bad days with it mainly cause of the rom i was trying at the time but great device...and ill get the touch pro 2 when it release for ATT to of course...who says people cant have more than one phone
hi all was looking for a cheap android pad for christmas and came across
these htc desire clones ........and lots of other close looking stuff
chinagrabber.com/c-tone-t01-gps-android-2-2-smart-phone---3-5-capacitive-multi-touch-wifi-mobile-phone.aspx[/url]
it makes interesting reading and was wondering how many people would take a chance of buying what seem to be the real thing but most definitively is not
Who cares if something looks like something else. Its about quality and functionality and a knock -off is never that.
What benefit is having a piece of technical equipment that looks like another, but doesn't function the same? Its not like a fake watch or handbag, which I dont understand either, but this is even less understandable.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Hey guys,
It's finally time to upgrade my old Galaxy S1 Epic (please don't laugh lol), I was planning on waiting for news on the new S4 but nothing solid has come out and my Epic was royally messed up from a game of football.....Note to self - don't play football with a phone in your pocket.
I know I'll probably get some bias comments since I'm posting this in the Samsung forums but I'm hoping for some logic as well. I know in terms of technology, the S3 is on the verge of being out of date. The Optimus G (on paper) looks to be an amazing phone but I know that LG's track record on updates as well as community development has always been lacking.
Would you guys get a S3 this late in the game or the Optimus G and hope for the best in terms of support/development? I can't afford to buy the phone outright so I'll be locked into a 2 year contract with Sprint and will be stuck with this phone for the next 2 years. I played with both phones at the store and they're both pretty cool, but I'll admit that when it comes to phones I am kind of a noob and would rather get honest opinions from people who have the phones and might know more about the future hurdles of it.
oh, the S3 is at Amazon Wireless right now for $50 and the LG Optimus is $99....both great deals imo! So I'm going to need to make a decision soon before the sale is over.
Thanks in advanced!
Ill just say this i will never buy an lg phone. This s3 is an amazing device and i have zero complaints about anything regarding this and i have had this since early june.

lame.. why not just don't post or answer his question even if it isn't suppose to be here..
anyways.. I'd vote for the SG3, mostly just because Samsung will at least try to stay up to date.. While LG always seems to fail in the category..
2 things, battery and sdcard
Thanks eveyone! I posted in the other post as well and got an answer there too. I'm going to go with the S3, even though the hardware is older than the Optimus G, I know that the development community behind it is amazeballs. I had the Epic 4G for awhile but since there were great development groups behind it, I was able to happily use the phone for a long time without complaints. I just can't take that gamble with the LG phone....looks great on paper but I don't want to be stuck with stock for 2 years,
I just got off the phone with Bestbuy and they said they'll price match Amazon Wireless so I'm going to pick one up for $50. Woot!

Answer was sent to OP via PM. However, We still gotta play by the rules either way we go. Overall, choice is going to be down to OP to figure out what they would like to do. So, my opinion may not matter..
I said S3 either way. I agree with post above me, non removable battery and lack of SD expansion is HUGE turn off.
I just don't like lg
Also s3 has the 48gb from drop box
I also like having the option of having Odin fix stuff if they go horribly wrong
Also s3 has a super solid dev community
Idk about the optimus g

This is a valid question - on the one hand, it isn't a big deal to handle the occasional misplaced thread... but on the other hand, just answering the question does nothing to help the OP to ensure that he doesn't make the same mistake twice (which will, in turn, make misplaced threads less occasional and more of a problem)
The important part is for all of us to be careful not to attack each other, or to react to such a reminder as if we're being attacked - if we wanted to start a multi-page argument, it would be more effective to bring up debatable matters of opinion than known facts such as forum rules

Hi guys I need a new phone for 2014 as my arc is getting really old, problem is i cant seem to find a phone that has all the stuff I want.
I really want the phone to be an xperia because the modding community is without equal, and would really like a removable battery, other than hat i really don't mind.
I can think of a few xperia like that however the specs are really kinda cruddy, the thing I love about the Arc the most has to be you can use it with one hand and it feels heavy and solid, not something most phones have these days
If you guys could make any suggestions I would be so grateful
Thanks
(OMG JUST AS I WAS ABOUT THIS, found the Xperia ZL, great specs, hard reset button (what i really need removable battery for) and looks so comfortable to hold

Wrong place to post. This is the General Section for Xperia Arc/S, not a forum to ask for phone recommendations. Just because you own an Xperia Arc does not give you the right to use this forum to post something unrelated.
As for your choice of phone, it will depend on what you will use it for, since each phone has a unique selling point. Also, don't gauge the phone based on specs. You need to hold the actual unit and test it out. That is why every phone retailer has a sample phone for you to hold and test before you buy the actual thing. The phone can have the best specs but if you don't like to use it, you just wasted your money.

Yeah sorry about that just really the closest forum I could figure as I was looking for a phone that was pretty much like the Arc only better specs, even if it is 3 years old it still has a special place in my heart and I still think it's better then some of the more recent phones. Kinda sad to see it go so I really wanted something similar, couldn't really think of anywhere else to post this.
And yeah I know feel is important however based the design and weight of the zl i'm pretty damn sure ill like it alot

Well if you're adamant about it I can't change your mind, but do test the phone out at your local phone retailer before buying it.

I happen to found lot of active members in this forum and mostly in this section posting awesome reviews of different accessories and items. Well that is the reason why I'm writing this post. I want to ask all those helpful members about HDC THUNDERBIRD GOLDEN I6 4.7 Phone. I would like to purchase it because most of my friends said that it is a good phone and I too researched about it on many site. There is this video on youtube as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ExQL-OJk6w
But I'm little confused. Is it really a good choice or not. I would like to ask the members of this forum was it smart move to go for it or is it a bad move. If there are any other members who use the same phone then plz you are welcome to write about your experience with this phone. The main reason I want to buy this phone is because it fits my budget. http://www.hdc-mobile.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=62
But if there are any other nice phones which comes at that price then plz suggest me that phone too. But it should have little bit similar features.
BTW I'm buying it for my girlfren for the first time as her B'day Present and I want it to be good.
Good Choice

Well if you are planning to buy this phone then It's a good choice. Because I also think this phone is best. Go for it
