Should I buy Xperia U?

Hi guys, in two days time I might buy a new phone, and I'm planning it to be an Xperia U.

I have read many negative comments and feedbacks about this phone, so I'm a bit worried.

Reading the positive reviews though, it made me crave more for this new phone.

So..should I buy it? I need everyone's advice, and I hope they are not all negative. Thank you! Slightly_smiling_Face

Also I hope I won't encounter major problems when I buy this phone. I have read so many negative comments and so many problems in this unit. Slightly_frowning_Face

BTW, is the memory just enough for you? Does it really affect the quality of pictures and videos? Although in my case, it's not a problem because I have an iPod for music. I just want to know if the memory really affects the quality of photos and videos.

Hi Arnab

Sony phones are not available in my country. So, I have ordered an XPU through one of my friend studying in UK. But now i am confused whether I have taken a good decision as I see a lot of complains in this forum. Please be honest and tell me if I have anything to worry about. Also I have no access to any support center except you guys.

Tnx

For me its a great phone,,

very stylish for its Transparent stripe changes color depending on screen content, and has a very sharp LCD compared to Xperia J, GO, SOLA and P ( compare it if you have a doubt ) but im very sure U has won that category Slightly_smiling_Face

ofcourse in terms on CPU u got DUAL CORE, Camera and Video is all good.

i actually encounter all the BUGS that they are tellin about but i solved it after i updated my phone in UPDATE SERVICE by SONY..

also some of its disadvantage is LED notification is kind of DIM but why would you be needing this small led notification if you can use your transparent led bar to notify all your notification Slightly_smiling_Face

and also its speaker is kind of not that loud but its quite ok, i dont think its a big issue for a wonderful phone, also my biggest problem with it is limited storage with no expansion options you can only use 6gig of its memory,

its a great phone, promise Slightly_smiling_Face

If you don't care about photos, videos (I mean the camera) or storage space, yes, it's good enough.
