great news!

colleague just bought 1 yesterday from 1U promo for RM750.

What's in the box:
-ori charger
-ori usb cable
- screen protector
- phone
- battery ( yes it's a removable battery)
- extra bottom cap ( if buy black version, u get black and pink cap. If u buy white version u get white and yellow cap).
- car charger+usb cable.

Latest version is still GB but there is an ICS update that should be arriving in coming weeks

pj digi mall has a few, or look for yeelin04 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2346111

nooo!! pls don't stop. You are probably one of the few who do bring in Sony stuff with lots of varieties.

OOT: the XPP light blue smooth series Rock case got stock arr?

on ICS i feel it's best to switch off animations/transitions and force GPU rendering so lag is less noticable.

think that's the one i got earlier too.. U should see Android Beam and Wifi-Direct under networks.
Previous update did not have that.

android beam relies on two aspects: software ( must be ICS and has the function enabled) and hardware (Must be NFC phone).

what you do is switch on android beam, and when you tap two nfc phones with android beam enabled, u can send files,pictures,video,music over to the other.

main drain is because of the WhiteMagic display. I set it to super low brightness (less than 1/4).

agreed, but also have to look at the logics.. the screen is realistically 4X brighter that normal phones. so pushing it at a standard setting (like the gsmarena test) skews the results. (i.e. a 1/4 setting is already equal to at least 1/2 or more on standard phones like SGS2).

It's like saying, i bought a 3.0 engine car, and then complain that it drinks petrol like water compared to a 1.0 car. Just my 2 cents.

Yes and Yes,

Galaxy Y is too low spec compared to U. ( I owned a Galaxy Y and my wife uses Xperia U).
Latest price depends where u get. I 've seen ori going for RM750

Good phone for ladies! i think esp the glowing light really catches attention.

Just to give some info since im on AP set.

My AP set comes from Taiwan, so ur update is still using PC Companion. Difference is that since the updates are pushed by region. E.g. i will get the notice when TW has an update. PC Companion itself is not region specific, it depends on your phone to pull the correct update information.

Alternately, can flash an official generic ROM. Which means that it is still authentic firmware from Sony, but for different region. e.g. Generic Europe ROM so your updates will be based on when Europe gets their updates.

my suggestion would be if your a 'techie' type of person do consider the AP - cos ur more likely to mess around with your phone

those not so techie, ideally stick with Ori warranty so any issues u can easily bring back to shop for rectification.

there is no region setting for PC Companion. it really depends on your phone to determine the region. To be specific, the SI number is used to determine which region the phone belongs to. Most (if not all) the sets should already be on ICS.

Perhaps what i can suggest is when u purchase it, check that it is already on ICS. go to Settings-About Phone and under Android Version you should see '4.0.4'. Under Build Number it should be ' 6.1.B.0.544'.

if not, ask vendor to update for you

good purchase mate! next is to pick a nice casing

perhaps get those transparent jelly cases so you still see the red. The worry is scratching the aluminum back although it's not as scratch prone as iphone5

Something like this. The clear version will allow the full red glory of the Xperia P to shine through
p/s: im using this btw. its a bit on the pricey side (rm30+SP) but quite durable and snug fit.

Dang, seeing how it looks with the red Xperia P, make me wish i chose the red instead of black

i think any of those running GB or ICS will alr have a hotspot feature. e.g. Galaxy Y ( makes a good cheap hotspot )
