To chunky,finding case or screen savers is awful no one seems to make anything.sony installs so much bloatware that just duplicates google.sneaks apps onto phone constantly then tells me i downloaded it myself.sneaks in third party apps that update themselves and are impossible to get rid of.now may 2013 no icecream i do not think i will did people other places realy get it 1 year ago.sony just implies it will happen blames others or just pretends that there is no problem.Still manages to update its 3rd rate apps selling second rate products that still swamp my phone.buy music videos when u cant be assed never
