If I wouldn't have wanted the keypad then I would have waited. the price is also better and it is getting very good reviews unlike this one.

Sony xperia tipo ST21i have no built in digital compass. I bought it and i'm very disappointed. Check your list with tipo's specifications, at sensors, it's wrong.

going for the galaxy chat over this one. the physical keyboard is very nice and I love it. although the res is low but it is smoother than this one. it has the same ui as the gs3 which is totally awesome. I dont play games so the absence of a gpu does not bother me.

Anonymous, 18 Sep 2012Ok that failed badly, the Tipo headset doesnt work at all with the N85.
Anyway, i find it ... moreyeah thanks , yes the sound was clear no doubts about it , but i felt quite underwhelmed after that as i had high expectations from sony , the sound in speaker was exceptionally loud and clear though , but it was a different story with the headphones on :( . also if you have another pair of earphones or pc headphones do try them as well in tipo and see if that makes a difference .
and xloud works only in loudspeaker not on earphones
thanks

Anyway, i find it to be loud enough for me, but this is not the phone i would want when drinking beer and listening to AC/DC, for example, its not loud enough to inspire anyone to go headbangers. I feel its loud enough to keep background noise on a distance, and the good thing is that theres no distortion at full volume even with the loudest MP3s.
The Tipo has xLOUD, but that doesnt make a difference when using headset, only for the loudspeaker.

AnonD-71404, 18 Sep 2012please reply how do you find audio quality in earphones. i found out that the volume of tipo i... moreI didnt put memory card with my personal MP3 collection yet, so im testing only with the preinstalled music that came with the Tipo and the included headphones, so this isnt a very accurate test, i may come back later with more info.
First impression is good bass dynamics, bass is firm, not sloppy like an old whore as it usually on cheap phones and cheap mp3 players.
Volume is a bit on the low side yes, but not terrible low. Really need to test with some of my own music. Its acceptable loud with one of the included songs, Nose Grinder or whatever its called, it has some el guitar riffs that sounds ok.
General sound quality (midtone) is kinda low, but that is to be expected with the included headset

Internal Storage:
The specs say
2.9 GB storage (2.5 GB user available)
The actual storage is divided in two:
PHONE MEMORY is total of 754MB, with almost 600MB Free out of the box.
INTERNAL STORAGE is total size of 2.15GB, with 1.45GB free space out of the box.
Apps can be moved from Phone Memory to Internal Storage using APPS in settings, so its no problem to install lotsa apps on this one.

I bought one today, in philippines. I dont usually buy low end phones but this one is not as low end as we have been used to in the past, this one blows Galaxy Y and Galaxy Pocket and LG L3 out of the solar system, at just a few pesos more.
I really like it, its fast and looks good, nice transitions. I immediately noticed it lacks a little in power compared to my Xperia Pro, but thats to be expected since the Pro has 1GHz Scorpio core and Adreno 205.
Viewing angle is bad in landscape mode, you have to tilt the phone away from you to the left to get good, it was a bit annoying when playing Angry Birds Space, but at level 5 i had already forgotten about it so it wasnt that annoying after all i guess.

I bought this phöne 3 days back. I had to choose between htc explorer , tipo and galaxy y duos. Based on specs, i preffered tipo..
Now coming to pros & cons
pros :
brand sony
good built (galaxy y and htc looks cheap)
excellent voice clarity
you tube plays well.
Nice display.
Can play temple run and angry birds.
Cons:
buggy ui. Ics lags on this handset (check out review by cnet and techradar)
average battery life.
This is my first android phone . I am happy with my choice.
Looks good, good ram and internal memory, good display.
Go for it. Avoid micromax,spice , karbon, etc. Think long term !
