Seems like it is not available in Black colour(atleast in Navi Mumbai).
Enquired few shops and none of them had it in Black.

Question for SEX pro users:
does the BODY (and any different part of it) is just simply painted/colored, or it's full color material?
just main thing that after some use it WILL take cornering scrathes and so on, so if it is just colored, that means the plastic color will occur.
what is best color for this phone? silver or black?
(sory for my english)

This phone is great, however my unit seems to have a rather annoying problem: the screen has a yellow tint to it, which is especially noticeable when browsing on white pages etc.

Compared to my monitors, my Motorola Milestone and my sister's Xperia Pro Mini the screen has a much warmer white color temp.

I'll try to get it exchanged. I hope this is a rare incident, I don't want to have to go through numerous phones to get one with proper colors.

I got the Xperia Pro about 4 days ago, and so far it has been amazing. It is fast, the screen is great and the camera is better than I had expected (I saw some bad reviews on it) the keyboard and build is fantastic and not cheap at all, despite being made of plastic. It is definitely less chunky as photos show it, and it doesn't collect as many fingerprints either. There are a few minor niggles however,I have found.

1. The notification light is on the side and not in a prominent position at the top front of the phone as it usually is on android phones. This is a little bit annoying but it's not much of a problem.

2. The light on the back search and menu buttons are really bright and sometimes hurt my eyes in the dark - unfortunately there is no way to turn them off

3. It lags a tiny bit but it's really not much (may be because the phone is still very new)

4. The battery life isn't bad, but it's not amazing either . It lasts me a day of heavy usage.

5. Another minor thing is that when you set a pattern or a password to unlock the phone, you have to slide the slider and THEN the pattern/passcode. This is a really minor niggle but it does slow things down a bit.


that's pretty much it!! Everything else is great about the phone, and I really do recommend it :) let me know of you have any questions and I'll try answer them for you

i own an Xperia pro for almost a month now. the cons I found is the plastic shell, it would be better if an aluminum (like HTC desire Z) shell for steadier feel. the tiny camera button is in an awkward position. but overall, i love this phone!

I think the word "poor" with regards to screen viewing angles is rather strong a word for GSMArena to use - I can think of no conceivable practical reason why you would want wider viewing angles than this has. You can see clearly to around 45 deg, and IMO is a good compromise between visibilty and privacy.

> In reply to enableDeepak @ 2011-11-24 11:54 from ijyc - click to readIt plays mkv files but with software decoder, so HD mkv wil not play well. Actually MX Video Player tries to play mkv in harware decoding mode but its not correctly dont. Hopefully its possible to customize video players for the current xperia models to play mkv with hardware decoding, that way it will play HD mkv as well.

Currently only MP4 video is supported in hardware mode, MP4 HD videos play very well. Still, lack of hardware decoding support is a small problem, the real problem is that all current xperia models have bad displays, bravia may help but its still miles behind SLCD, or IPS displays like for example LG Optimus 2x. Bad contrast levels and high backlight bleed is adding to the problem of the poor viewing angle.

yes u can connect it to a monitor if your monitor has HDMI, or by using a HDMI-DVI adaptor.
