Guys, if you're interested in this phone... I'm a mini (pro) owner, and my advice is: get an xperia mini! Don't even mess with such a low end device. The mini is much better than the miro, the galaxy mini 2 and the desire C. You'll have, for the same price, a phone with much better screen (only just a bit smaller, but same resolution), much better camera and much better audio quality, both on earphones and from the speaker, and better processor and gpu.
So why should you buy this? Get a mini while it can still be purchased and you won't regret it.

                I don't understand why phone makers think that (small = cheap), the screen is washed out and offer low resolution, the camera is fixed focus with low megapixel, and so on.

                Why can't they make something better and small? best screen they can use, best camera, in small form factor, is that hard? i know that many people love the big screen smartphones and i think that many people want just something small with good camera and screen, is that hard?

                Of course sony is not the only one here, samasung and HTC also do the same.

                      "The Sony Xperia tipo captures VGA video at around 25 fps, which is all we can expect out of a single-core processor"

                          Am I the only one who thinks the design of this one is so much nicer than the more expensive Xperia phones? Those are way too boxy for me, but I love the soft rounded edges of the Tipo.

                            I think the battery is huge for a phone that size.

                              Here in india we dont have mini 2 & desire C costs around 3000 more (even though its inferior).
                              Tipo is put in direct competition to galaxy y & explorer ...both of them much worse then tipo.

                              It rocks ICS much smoother than my arc. LOVE IT!
