Sony Xperia go review: Get out, get wet - read the full textThe Sony Xperia go is not a phone to keep on a short leash. Not your kind of phone either if you'd say no to a dip in the pool because you are expecting an important call. The Sony Xperia go lets you join the fun. The midrange package that Sony just brought...

IP67 just means that it can withstand water and dust, and really says nothing about how well it would wurvive a drop. The Active was pretty rugged, perhaps this is just element-protected.
It doesnt have ant+ or bluetooth 4.0 for heart rate monitors (sure there are bluetooth 2.0 ones, but those are impracticle due to the high power consumption).
Maybe this is just meeant as test to how they could make normal phones that wont be waterdamaged that easily.. but on the other hand, they coudl then nano-coat them...

Sure you will not be able to enjoy the high resolution, but imagine that you filmed it with your proper camcorder or digital camera, and want to have it to show friends and family, but they dont really need to see it on a big screen with high resolution?
Or that you get a tv-series and want to watch it on the go (when you are out and about, not Go model name)... but sure, its probably an illegal copy then, so that doesnt matter much...
But sure it would be nice to watch videos from other cameras, without converting.

Ok, the low resolution I could probably live with, even if it feels like a big letdown after the xperia active.

But no Ant+, that is bad... well maybe bluetooth 4.0, that is almost as good, Nope, not that either... How did Sony totally forget about sporting people when they made this?
Did all sporting people leave with ericsson?

No ant+ = xperia nogo

Would have been ideal sports phone otherwise

One of the main disadvantages is mentioned as : Loudspeaker has below average performance

And further in the review, the following is mentioned : We also ran our traditional loudspeaker test on the Sony Xperia go - it scored a Good mark, meaning that it's among the decent performers out there.
Voice, dB Pink noise/ Music, dB Ringing phone, dB Overal score
Sony Xperia Go 65.8 65.4 76.9 Good

So what is true exactly?

No signal. Even with the new SW. Im living in Sweden the phone is unlocked and i already tried with other operator sim too. Otherwise the phone is fast and good feel in the hand. But with this signal problem just a garbage. Many times peoples try to calling me but they said it was impossible. Great work $ony again...

If its OS is hang, normally I will use the last option is to remove battery, total drain all power by pressing power button for around 5 seconds and then insert back the battery.

This phone its battery cannot be removed. What if its OS is hang, is there a way to hard reset? Or have to go down Sony Service Center to fix it?

The network problem typically occurs when I have the phone in my pocket and I'm riding my bike. When I stop to check the map or I get home, I can see the network has been lost.
Its likely that I have passed trough a area with low network coverage. But the real problem is that I have to restart the phone before I can get find signal again.
