I've failed to capture many good nighttime shots on my droid, even with the flash. I would love to have a phone that can take photos as good as a dedicated point and shoot camera, even if those photos were only 5MP.</LI><LI>the pocketability: Medium-sized, 480 x 854px screen, and mostly rounded corners. Screens over 4" take up too much room in my pocket; I'd rather have the high-res on a screen like this. 3.7 - 4" is the sweet spot unless you're watching movies with friends, in my opinion. My eyes are 20/20 so why not.</LI><LI>light(er) weight.</LI><LI>gingerbread. Great to see SE on the cutting edge. Gingerbread includes some great power-savings as well, so that will reflect well on the phone.</LI><LI>forward camera</LI><LI>great battery life. This is one of SE's fortes and I'm looking forward to better batt life in my new smartphone.</LI><LI>touch screen only. I so rarely use my slide-out keyboard, I'd much rather have a phone without the extra weight and size. Offering the Neo &amp; Pro seems like a brilliant decision, though, to cover both camps.</LI><LI>physical home, back, menu buttons. The positive, tactile feedback helps a lot with these critical buttons.</LI><LI>SE addons converted to widgets (timescape, mediascape). This seems very win-win to me. Let users have the option so everybody's happy.</LI><LI>gorilla glass. Having to put screen protectors on your phone is silly when technology can solve the problem for you. </LI><LI>wifi-N, HDMI, DLNA, ant+, OMA, GSM. More options, more flexibility makes my life easier. I'll be using most of these options immediately.</LI></UL><P></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="color: #c0c0c0;">- What is one thing you feel is missing, or you wished to be available?</SPAN></P><OL><LI><S><STRONG style="font-weight: bold;">unlocked bootloader</STRONG>. I want the option of customizing my phone, upgrading the kernel when available, improving battery life. This can also keep me using this phone for much longer than phones with locked bootloaders. I don't mind losing my warranty as custom kernels sometimes allow overclocking, and SE shouldn't have to pay for my mistakes. (It would be nice to find an in-between solution, though)</S> Just read <A href="http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/developerworld/2011/03/29/unlocking-the-boot-loader-in-the-new-xperia%E2%84%A2-smartphones/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">your blog post</A> on offering unlocking on the new phones. Awesome! Neo is my next phone. </LI><LI><SPAN style="text-decoration: line-through;"><STRONG style="font-weight: bold; ">more RAM</STRONG>. This is the main reason I need to ditch my current phone. At this time, the new xperias really should have been released with at least 512MB RAM. These new phones have great single-core processors and additional memory would have kept them current for much longer.</SPAN> <A href="http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/overview/xperia-neo?cc=gb&amp;lc=en#view=features_specifications" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Neo gets 512MB RAM after all</A>!</LI></OL><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Additional, less critical, features I'd like:</DIV><OL><LI>more <STRONG style="font-weight: bold;">rounded corners</STRONG>, like the new xperia pro. Corners get caught in your pocket </LI><LI>all ports on the bottom. It makes much more sense to have the headphone jack on the bottom; it keeps the cable out of the way when you're holding the phone, and is much more convenient when it's in your pocket. Right now, I have to pull my phone out of the pocket, then flip it upside down to fiddle with the music player, then flip it back to put it back in my pocket. More of an issue when you're running or otherwise preoccupied. While the USB &amp; HDMI ports could go anywhere, it's nice to have them on the bottom for those times I'm using the phone in the rain (sounds silly but it happens).</LI><LI>a search button. I use the fourth button (missing on the Neo) all the time for voice commands (calling, searching). Not a must-have feature, but it will be missed.</LI><LI>a dock. Of course, if all the ports were on the bottom, this would work more seamlessly...</LI></OL><P></P><P>I know that this is marketed as a mid-grade phone but I'm choosing this phone <STRONG style="font-weight: bold;">instead of</STRONG> the arc, play, atrix, thunderbolt, evo 3d, optimus 3d, and every other android phone. It's not about price but about the right mix of features.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 04 Apr 2011 00:07:37 GMT 2011-04-04T00:07:37Z Your first impressions about Xperia neo https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/your-first-impressions-about-xperia-neo/m-p/2807463#M45097 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>So, now that everyone has seen this new phone, we are hoping to gather some feedback from you, and answer a few things specifically, we hope you can participate!</P><P></P><P>- What's one word you'd use to describe this device?</P><P>- Have you read any reviews about this phone, please share the link if you have <SPAN __jive_emoticon_name="happy"></SPAN></P><P>- What phones (from other manufacturers) do you think are the most similar in features?</P><P>- What do you feel is the feature(s) of this phone that makes it unique amongst our competition.</P><P>- What is one thing you feel is missing, or you wished to be available?</P><P></P><P>Thanks for taking the time for passing this feedback on to us!</P><P></P><P><EM>This is not the place to ask questions, if you have a technical question, please&nbsp; make a new thread <SPAN __jive_emoticon_name="happy"></SPAN> Thanks!</EM></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 15 Feb 2011 18:51:52 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/your-first-impressions-about-xperia-neo/m-p/2807463#M45097 Martha- 2011-02-15T18:51:52Z Re: Your first impressions about Xperia neo https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/your-first-impressions-about-xperia-neo/m-p/2807464#M45098 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>what's the front facing camera definition?</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 16 Feb 2011 06:24:26 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/your-first-impressions-about-xperia-neo/m-p/2807464#M45098 Uliwooly 2011-02-16T06:24:26Z Re: Your first impressions about Xperia neo https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/your-first-impressions-about-xperia-neo/m-p/2807465#M45099 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>- What's one word you'd use to describe this device?</P><P>ironic</P><P></P><P>- Have you read any reviews about this phone, please share the link if you have <IMG class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.com.mk/html/images/smilies/011.png" alt="Slightly_smiling_Face" title="Slightly_smiling_Face" /></P><P>Yes one i read says your pushing your clients for the cash.</P><P></P><P>- What phones (from other manufacturers) do you think are the most similar in features?</P><P>No other phone fails harder than SE</P><P></P><P>- What do you feel is the feature(s) of this phone that makes it unique amongst our competition.</P><P>What don't you ppl get about outdated hardware and locked bootloader on a open source device?</P><P></P><P>- What is one thing you feel is missing, or you wished to be available?</P><P>Everything!
