Sony Ericsson Xperia active review: The Rainmaker

Sony Ericsson Xperia active review: The Rainmaker - read the full textFlick it, kick it, throw it, wet it. Drag and drop it. And watch it come back for more. The Sony Ericsson Xperia active is a survivor. The rugged smartphone has a Bravia Reality display and exchangeable covers, 1GHz of oomph and HD video, and plenty of sporty apps. It's got you - tucked under an arm...

An alternative to the Walkmate application mentioned is Activity Classifier which records the activity being undertaken and the energy being expended. It publishes the data live in Google Fusion Tables.

Had this baby for 1 day and I kept getting the "software update" prompt. Big mistake. The update failed now I'm left with a brick.

I hope this unit gets replaced coz I really fell in love at first sight and I chose this over LG's Optimus Black.

Bought this phone just 2 weeks ago,and overall its great,the OS is fast similar to iphone's OS. The pictures are great and resolution is solid. Its pocket friendly and does not weight that much. I haven't tried using it in the water thought. But i think would perform great. Best Outdoor phone for me, it has balance on all features and still looks sleak.

Is the maps for the GPS saved on the memory of the phone, or does it need to download it from the internet (google maps) each time? It makes a big difference if you are abroad: if the map is saved in the memory, no data downloading crazy roaming charge :)
