Can anyone plz tell me how to update xperia sola to ICS cuz I have checked alot on the phones update center and also via pc companion it says that ur device is up to date while I have android 2.3.7 and build number is 6.0.B.3.184. Plz help and aslo tell whether the ICS update is good or not? Does it consumes more ram or slows the phone down? Or is smoother then Gingerbread? Thnx

I've just planned to buy that phone! but its battery is non-removable.. so how will i manage when it will hang? many friends of mine face that problem,they probably remove battery and attach it again but i'll be out of this option and its quite natural that so many features in a cell,may face this type of particular problem.Tell me what should i do... what to do if its hang? please do comment,your opinion does matter!! Reply,please,thank u!

i still dont think it touches lww.sony has lost it the innovation the creativity is all dead.the build quality is all chp.they r just trying to kill ericsson.they cud not match w550i also in future.i still remember purchasing 2 k700.for me that revelutionised mobile industry.

Hi friends.i m using dis mobile since last 2 months.i brought it for inr 19999.00.so here z benefits and drawbacks.
-First of all excellent or u can say superb music clarity with 3d surround effects(with and without headset).while watching movies u ll definitely feel lyk watching dem in a multiplex.
-excellent 5m camera.3d pictures are also nice.very good flash.
-Display z unbelievably crisp and clear as it comes with bravia engine with reality display.i can say videos are so real dat easily u ll give more points to dis than AMOLED display.so my advice choose Bravia engine than AMOLED.
-smooth running.
-Floating touch which z itz unique feature in mobile world which enables u to use ur mobile without touching with ICS upgrade.

Drawbacks:
- Unremovable battery with low charge backup(less than a day after full use).
-No front camera.
-No android ICS.

However ICS upgrade z now available in sony website and video calls possible with back camera,battery backup problem has no alternative.yes dont worry abt Unremovable battery as battery can b replaced in sony service centres.
For ur satisfaction bfore buying always shop in reliance digital or other stores where u can check all qualities with one original demo mobile set.

Although xperia go & sola specifications are almost identical..but dere are some differences..
1) Xperia Go is more sturdy & well built whereas xperia sola is not dat built properly.
2) Xperia sola has a resolution of 480 by 854 whereas Go only has 320 by 480
3) Sola has better ppi

Conclusion - If u want a rough n tough fone go for xperia Go...whereas if u want a great screen den go for xperia sola..also to mention xperia sola has a bigger screen den Go..rest specifications are same..camera quality is same..processor is same..rest u decide..

As far as question abt battry , batry is not bad coz of android system its performing litle bit low... I used galaxy samsung and that was also poor in btry.... Overall i want to say phone is rocking guyz... Its simply best

now that the Sola has ICS, please test the benchmarks again for the device. it really should have a marked difference. battery life is extended for sure, better battery backup, faster interface. everything is snappier.

In my opinion, Xperia sola doesn't deserve its price because the following specs are below my expectations:

1. In-call volume
2. Battery life
3. No front camera

Compared to Xperia ray, this handset could barely support itself, not really being a part of the NXT series (S, P, U).
