Did you notice that you can create shortcuts to your favorite albums/tracks/playlists in the my music tab of the music player? Just long press on an album and select add as shortcut

Look. Let's make things clear. Sony is the best company ever in this Universe. Absolutely no one beats Sony. Sony is God's company of products. Sony beats the $*** out of cheap Nokia or Samsung phones!!!

Xperia guys u r wasting ur time fighting those n8 freekz.
I mean cum on...u r buying a phone not a chamera...and u living zombies of symbian fans think u can beat 'THE ANDROID'
this platform even changed the life of duying samsung with its own power or else SAMSUNG is dead...
n8 can't even do 20% of what XPERIA S do
Please try to accept & respect the new innovations,otherwise u wil get backdated urself,
There was also a time n8 played its game,now please

After comparison:
N8 is still better in still pictures and videos although the 1080p.

Sony is going from bad to worse.
The Xperia S design is the EXACT COPY of HTC TOUCH DIAMOND 2.

go wash your stupid brains: even nokia 808 with carla is a fart-sniffer old junk android compared with this sony.fans of symbian are like the fans of vw: they think that from old farty vw beetle, vw still remains a good brand, no matter what they do, anything can't compare with vw. this is the type of stupid thinking

They stay loyal to China... :DDD And that's the answer to the most disturbing question lurking in your mind: "Why don't I have money, why don't I have job?" Get it? Some small chinese boy steals them from you.

> In reply to O'rly @ 2012-03-31 11:53 from ib3G - click to readLast year when samsung, htc and lg came up with dual core phones what sony said is that a smartphone doesnt need a dual core processor and the year results an utter failure for sony ericsson xperia series.
Now the big boys come with quad core cpu, sony introduced their dual core and now saying dual core is enough for a smart phone. We cannot trust this brand anymore.
I was a big fan of sonyericsson when they introduced cyber shot series and walkman series in the past.
But with xperia series I'm very dissapointed. Low RAM, delay in software updates, bugs, frequent force close, poor loudspeaker performance(except Xperia S) and outdated hardware.
Sony is now on the verge. Guys, you have to move on.
