Its not a bad phone Sony just needs to get on to these issues that owners are having before they become "$ony" and be thrown into the same category as Micro$oft

Hello all, 

I wanted to thank all active forum users for their effort. Sony talked me into buying their phone with the 20mp super uber best camera promises. Too bad it is not that good at all and the updat made it even worse. This together with the wifi issues i had made me regret buying this phone. 

It did cost me some money (sony!) but i ditched te phone and a brand new galaxy s4 is on his way. 

For everyone who is considering buying this phone: Or wait for softwareupdates and read this forum if these issues get solved, or get yourself a Samsung or apple device -> wat they say you get, is what you get. 

Good luck with your devices all!

gr, Mark
