Sony Xperia UGeneral:The Sony Xperia U is an entry level Android device at a very reasonable price point of $219 (Although I find the price constantly fluctuating on Amazon). Keep in mind, if it's not already clear to you now, that this is a very small/thin phone. Using the iPhone as a reference, the Xperia U 3.5 in display is NOT like the iPhone's 3.5 in. Xperia U's display is taller but thinner (considerably so, which you'll notice when the keyboard comes up and how tiny certain icons such as battery, service bar, and general font), which still satisfies the 3.5 in, but keep that in mind when purchasing (I personally like small phones, not into the whole mini-tv in my pocket kinda thing). The phones I've owned in the past couple years are the Droid Pro Plus, Mytouch 4g, Blackberry Curve, Mytouch 3g slide, and the original iPhone. This is to help give the reader a sense of where I'm coming from and what I'm comparing to. I really enjoyed the Droid Pro Plus, which was my last phone before this phone, but I sustained a little bit of water damage on a hiking trip so I figured I'd try something new. I'm pretty picky, so the things that bother me might not bother you, but here goes:Pros:1. Fast a. The phone is very responsive with the Dual-core 1 GHz processor b. Very little lag overall. Using Angry Birds as the reference, cuz everyone's played Angry Birds, there's slight choppiness with the background enabled in the game but it's perfectly smooth with it disengaged. It's never really stalled even with background enabled, only the FPS has dipped a bit and it's a bit noticeable, but other than that no issues. c. Browsing with the phone is also a nice experience (in regards to speed). I've browsed through CNET, Gizmodo, and Slickdeals, which all have a lot of stuff on their pages. The pages load pretty quickly (on wi-fi - I've noticed most of the time the bottle neck is the phone not the connection, so even on wifi I've had phones that took a while to load pages) and when scrolling, there's a slight millisecond lag with every scroll, but it's consistent and smooth enough for me.2. Crisp Display a. The clarity of the screen is very nice with 480 x 854 pixels, 3.5 inches (~280 ppi pixel density) b. You really can't see any pixels with the naked eye3. Dedicated Camera Button a. Makes it much easier to take pictures, there's a light press, which autofocuses, and a strong press, which actually takes the picture. b. The key also allows you to take a picture outside of the lock screen in case you need to take a quick snapshot at something and don't feel like unlocking your device, finding the camera app and then taking the picture. Nice little touch c. In my opinion, the 5MP camera is good enough for the phone. It's certainly not the best camera out there, but it's far from the worst. It's just average. A little noise here and there.4. Swype a. This is really the first time I've really used Swype. I don't know what changed, but before I didn't like using it, now with this device I love it. I don't have particularly large or small hands, but this phone feels better with one hand than using it with 2 hands, just imo. So Swype really saved it for me, but you have to download it.5. Front Facing Camera a. Honestly, I haven't used it yet, but it's a nifty feature that I haven't really had on other phones so it's a plus for me. Skype and taking pictures of myself I guess.6. Phone/Voice Quality a. Now this phone doesn't really beat the Droid Pro Plus or Blackberry Curve in loudness and clarity of voice, but it's by no means "bad." It's just something to keep in mind and not get lost in all the features, forgetting the fact that the device is (or should be) primarily a phone. The sound levels peak a bit when at its max especially when using the xLOUD function which enhances the loudness of speaker. But nothing really new or surprising to me since most of the phones I've owned had similar issues.7. App Stacking a. Move an app over another and it stacks into a folder. Nifty8. Screen Protector a. Comes with it in the box, that's nice.Cons:1. Texting a. Now let the reader understand, my critique is not the texting experience overall, but this is where my pickiness really shines. When adding a new contact to text, you have to click the Write New button (indicated by a pencil and + Sign) then you have to hit Add Contact (Plus sign with a portrait) then you have to type in the Name which will eventually auto-populate, not in the bar but in the scrolling section below. Then you have to click the name itself then press done. My goodness, my other phone, all I had to do was press Write new, Type the name and it would usually auto-populate in the bar itself, in which case I can hit enter and I'd be done with it. So rather than 3 motions, it takes about 5 motions to text a new buddy. My hope is that I don't have to text new people often, luckily once you have a thread going, it's easier to get to in t

I'm a tech geek and have used many mobiles over the years. I've used Palm, Blackberry, WinMobile, Webos, Ios, Meego, WP7 and Android. So I know the differences. Having used many of them, I have made Android my primary phone. The reasons for me are simple - I like to be in charge of my device. Customization is a choice, it is not mandatory. Many iphone owners will say oh you have to tweak your Android phone to make it useful. Nothing can be further from truth. It is entirely up to the user. There are many cool things you can do with Android that you never can on any iphone.- A proper file manager/USB storage: what is it and why it matters? If you used any USB flash drive, you know how it works. You just plug it in and it shows up as a drive and you can drag and drop ANY file in it. Android works the same way. There is no special itunes/zune-like software you need to manage your phone. It's sad that Apple charges so much for higher capacity iphones yet the storage can not be managed in any way YOU please. It's strictly designed to be a consume devices - music and video.- "AirDroid" - simple and free app for Android that allows you to do nearly everything from a browser interface without even touching your phone. this includes file transfer, app management, send/receive txts and much more. this is very convenient because you can have your phone in your pocket.- "mysms" or "mighty text" - these are also handy as they allow you to send/receive sms without even touching your phone as long as your phone has working signal. pretty awesome in office environment.Mind you, 90% of Android customization can be done by anyone irrespective of tech knowledge. There is no rooting(aka jailbreaking in Ios world) needed. Iphone users will tell you once you jailbreak an iphone, it can be made to work like Android. Again that's completely false. Jailbreaking idevice allows a little customization but it's nowhere near Android. And you still can't do anything you want. For instance- you still can't properly manage that storage on your idevice even after jailbreaking. Because jailbreaking doesn't change the core OS or how it behaves.Pros:Great battery life. Charges pretty fast. Mine charges fully in roughly about an hour.Highly portable. very lightweight.Openness + Customization of Android.Better reception - I've tried using my SIM card on my LG phone which drops signal but Sony was able to retain at least one bar.Stylish - sure it's not made of aluminum but still looks and feels great on hand.Cons:No expandable storage. Again if you are a light user, it should not bother you. Mind you all iphones never offered expandable storage yet they are very popular. So it really depends on your usage. I'm a heavy user and for me, the device must be flexible. And this is the only con I can mention about this device.Final words about Android. As Android is platform agnostic, you will find low end to high end Android device. You can't really judge an OS by using a crappy Android device. Xperia U is above average/mid-range phone. It's of course unlocked so you can use AT&t 3G in the usa and worlwide.

I bought this because I didn't want to get the same phone as my ex--Xperia Play--but I wanted a Sony Xperia, and I wanted an Android. Plus this had a decent price tag, and since it wasn't tiny like the HP Veer (which I had initially chosen and ultimately returned), I thought it'd be the best fit for me for the money.Looking at it, it probably isn't the most visually appealing phone on the planet. It is rectangular, relatively slim and fits pretty nicely in your hand, and the clear strip toward the bottom of the phone lights up depending upon the color theme you choose. The bottom of the phone has a removable color cap that you can choose to pull off and replace with another color (I bought the black Xperia with an optional white cap). I only recently learned how to remove the cap, but I don't plan on putting the white cap on--don't see any importance in the matter. There's also some kind of green bulb on the back--cosmetic purpose?This phone has a front and back facing camera. I didn't realize I was in for this kind of treat when I bought it. Though I haven't used it yet, I am capable of face chatting with people using this phone. In order to get the Sim card in, you have to pull off the back of the phone and insert it in the side like you would an SD card (and this does NOT have an SD card slot--disappointing). I like for my phones to back up as mp3 players, and the fact this did not have expandable memory almost convinced me to return it. I thought I'd give it a fair chance. However, I do appreciate not being forced to turn my phone completely off in order to insert/eject the sim card. It tends to restart itself once it realizes you have inserted, but it is fully functional even without a card, so you can still use your phone if you pull it out, unlike some other phones.It comes with Gingerbread, but it is capable of running Ice Cream Sandwich. With ICS I feel there's some sluggishness. Either I've adapted to the speed or the speed has improved.I have only had this phone for a few months, and I'm having some issues with the battery already. I thought using Power Management (this turns off data traffic while the screen is off, but turns it back on when the screen is on) would be a huge improvement. It turned out not to be. I turned off Power Management yesterday, and I actually see my battery lasts longer without it. I have no emails or accounts syncing, my screen is at its lowest brightness....I'm going to see if the Mobile BRAVIA Engine (quality enhancer for pictures/videos) was the issue.Overall I love this phone. It's a great purchase for anyone looking for a GSM unlocked at a good price or someone who wants a good Android and doesn't need tons of space for much more than apps. It's also proved to be an awesome starter Android phone for me.

This is my first smartphone, bought to use with straight talk. Did not plan to do a lot of browsing. This fit my budget for a 2012-release phone and the Xperia phones have good customer satisfaction. It came down to the U or the P, which is a fair amount pricier but the same phone (processor) with more memory and an SD slot plus a slightly larger screen. ignored friend's advice that I get the pricier phone for the additional memory (he's a gamer), and so far I don't regret it. Lots of memory left ovcr for the several apps I have installed, and no need for an external SD card if you aren't into video or music. Even then, there's the Cloud if you have wi-fi. Reception is good and calls are clear. typing is definitely a little cramped on the 3.5" screen, but it has an auto landscape mode that makes it acceptable. If you are a texter or use a huge number of apps, the P might make sense. I'm good with thisUpsides: great price for the CPU and graphics. great look and feel. comes with a sony screen protector but no case, which is needed as it is a delicate little thing. would be a great phone for someone with delicate fingers, I get by. says you can upgrade to ICS but I have enough trouble figuring out 2.3 so until it is clear the upgrade is needed I'll stick with itDownside: battery life is limited. My old flip phone used to hold a charge for most of a week, and this one needs daily feeding, more if you leave the wifi on. I am sure the color stripe (which has no perceivable useful function and cannot be turned off) has some role in this, but a 1200 mA-hr cell doesn't go far . Wonder if it will accept larger cells.An excellent phone, would buy again. Comes with a 12 month Sony warranty in original box and shrink wrap. Nicer than the Motorola Atrix I demoed, despite having a slightly narrower screenAddendum: have seen other reviewers comment on damage to the phone. This is a fairly delicate plastic-body and screen phone. One would be foolish not to clad it in a case + screen protector. The Ecell case (available on Amazon for about $5) is really nice as a minimalist case, and will protect as well as make it less likely to drop the phone. There are also some beefier cases out there.Addendum #2" I wear Carharrt pants with side-leg cell phone pockets and even with the case, this phone fits in there like a glove. Try that Samsung S II
