2 websites mentioned that it only has 8GB ROM. The current unit launched at IFA is the LTE version not the HSPA.

QUOTE
In compliance with IP55 and IP57, Xperia™ V is protected against the ingress of dust and is water
resistant. Provided that all ports and covers are firmly closed, the phone is (i) protected against low
pressure jets of water from all practicable directions in compliance with IP 55; and/or (ii) can be kept under
1 metre of freshwater for up to 30 minutes in compliance with IP 57. The phone is not designed to float or
work submerged underwater outside the IP55 or IP57 classification range and should not be exposed to
any liquid chemicals. If liquid detection is triggered on the handset or battery, your warranty will be void.

The real-deal for active lifestyle is definitely Xperia Go with better IP rating, smaller size/screen and durable material. Xperia V and Acro S intended to the same crowd that want to have a bit resistant to accidents and ... more style! smile.gif

yes, the new S4 chipset is really good. the EU HTC One S is using the S4 krait chipset. and most reviewer tested it against HTC One X said that the performance of HOS is at least on par with (if not better in some area than) HOX.

yeah i know, its best for multi tasking
but how "multi" are u gonna do tasking with your phone?
i bet most of all consumers is just use it for office use like view email, facebook, gather data and watch video
its not that u want to complete your paperwork in your phone though tongue.gif

i agreed... because m'sia telco is not LTE network ready yet. true that this phone still support gsm and 3g, but it's like a waste of technology.
the rumored price for this phone is even more expensive than Xperia T in germany, all because it's an LTE phone.
just my 2 cents...

Nope. Xperia V has 2 more disadvantages to Acro S:
1. smaller battery capacity - 17xxmAH vs 19xxmAH
2. smaller internal storage - 8Gb vs 16Gb

Hope that Snapdragon S4 power consumption efficiency might compensate back the reduction in battery capacity. Not much issue for internal storage as microSD slot is available.

smaller battery due to slimmer body ?
internal storage, ok la, this can forgive smile.gif
Is good spec + nice body, but missing psychical camera button a bit hard, my reason for this phone is abt out door, with that button noneed take out glove d smile.gif

if 2gb ram is a must for u, then i only know of the upcoming optimus G from LG. it's using quad-core S4 processor with 2GB RAM. very promosing and future proof spec. but don't know when is the launch date...

for water n dust protection, i think very limited choice available now (especially with good spec) like the xperia acro s. better pray hard for xperia v to be launch here is water n dust resistance is what u r looking for.

yeah... note2 have 2gb RAM... but for me, i never consider getting Galaxy Note / note2 because it too big and defeat the purpose of "MOBILE phone"...

acro S battery performance so poor? i tot acro s having 1900mAh battery should be decent enuf... hopefully xperia TX and V have better power management as both model only have 1750mAh battery...

Sounds suspicious since this phone hasn't been launched yet. The pricing for the different models like xperia J,T,TV also doesn't make much sense... All about the same and we know J is about half the price of the T.

Sony store's Bond advertising for laptops also extends to the old Xperias. blink.gif

They're not releasing TX? I prefer this, this is should be the true flagship phone.

this just came across my mind

do XV have wet finger tracking on their screen? can we use the screen while using thick gloves?

since its have ip57 feature and no dedicated camera button then we need to use on screen camera button

Dunno what sony's thinking.
January release new phone, but the old xperia v isn't even here yet? rclxub.gif

And when they finally arrive here, their products become instantly one generation left behind others.

If they want my money, better release before chinese new year. Else, i might as well wait for the new model.

posted some pics on my blog http://ian90.blogspot.com/2012/12/sony-xperia-v.html

btw, been using it for a week like that... all I can say is that the build quality is awesome! biggrin.gif feels great to show off to my friends such a sleek and solid phone.

No lags whatsoever when going through the phone menu and stuff. I don't game too much... so.. dunno bout intensive gaming performance.

camera has some shutter lag... which is mainly due to the camera trying to autofocus. kinda disappointing. but i hav a DSLR anyways. =p

screen colours are OK. colours are a bit on the warm side. not as vibrant as samsung phones in the menu, but the video playback is good enough. smile.gif And I love the walkman on the phone.. looks really good. biggrin.gif

Haven't really tried the waterproof-ness of the phone yet. Dun rly want to. hahaha. Too precious.

Overall 8.5/10! thumbup.gif

minus points for:
- form factor (need to get used to the arc design)
- camera shutter lag
- screen colour (i heard it's becoz the glue is still curing... not sure)

Plus points for:
- awesomeness
- perfect size for people who doesnt want too big phones
- pretty good spec sheet (NFC, LTE, 720p screen, Snapdragon S4)
- Expandable memory (Im using 32gb MicroSD class 10)
- removable battery

Finally here but i have bought S3 due to great offer from maxis. V and TX same price? Too bad, V just mid range should be cheaper than TX. Sony always introduce great phone but release to market too slow.

I think V price increase due to LTE connection. And resistance to dust and water.

Actually the only mid range spec on V is the internal memory which is 8gb. V is better or same than TX in everything else with newer Sony technology summore so TX should be cheaper. In some countries, it is.

Not really la, beside 8G internal memory. The front camera only VGA, screen size only 4.3, TX more slim. the only special is dust and water resistant and LTE. I don't think malaysia LTE can expend to whole malaysia in 2013.

In 2013, LTE coverage in Malaysia would be mostly in major cities.

Plan is, to have at least Klang Valley, JB, Penang, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching to be covered.

Actually, it's more than that. V has higher chipset (MSM8960) than TX's MSM8260A. TX pixel per inch is 323 while V is 342. Screen size doesn't mean high end, just form factor subject to preference. I don't think higher resolution for front camera carries any weight at all to be high end as we have much better back camera. Other extra features that TX can't compete with V are (source from Xperiablog):

1) Bluetooth 4.0 (the Xperia T has Bluetooth 3.1).

2) Mobile BRAVIA Engine2: An evolution of Mobile BRAVIA Engine delivering an ever better viewing experience by adding a new real-time contrast optimisation and improving sharpness enhancement on top of high quality colour management and noise reduction.

3) ClearAudio+ mode: Developed with Sony’s own signal processing technologies, allows users to effortlessly enjoy audio quality that may have been stripped away by music compression. ClearAudio+ mode incorporates a variety of Sony’s sound technologies, but with one simple operation, users can easily enjoy Sony recommended sound in ultimate clarity and presence, across the entire spectrum of sound.

4) HDR (High Dynamic Range): The camera quickly captures the image twice with different exposure levels and layers it together to create one optimised photo. HDR is automatically activated when Superior Auto detects scenes with strong backlight.

5) Superior Auto: Technology used in Sony Cyber-shot Digital Cameras that intelligently detects scenes (up to nine scenes), sets most optimal settings for still image, and applies best image processing including layered technology (up to four photos), making it easy to get the best shot even in a dark or backlight scene.

Xperia TX doesn't deserve to be priced higher than Xperia V at all doh.gif

Sony Style in The Curve told me TX is launched this week and V slightly later probably end of the week or next week but as of now, I guess no walk in availability yet.
Depends on what you want. If you want a good, fast phone with all premium features in a compact design in relatively cheap package and don't want to wait anymore you should get the V. If you want the latest in Sony technology, bigger screen, precision design and don't mind trrading in your house for it (heheh...the price won't be cheap) and don't mind waiting, you should go for Z. Personally, V can already do what Z does with some of its technology (like Bravia2) already incorporated in V, and I'm more than happy with a 4.3" screen, and the waiting has to stop some time so V is perfect for me, better than Z even (for now of course)

IMHO Future proof is BS. My XPNeo lasted me 18months before it goes obsolete on both h/w and support. And now the swipe is cacat already. Out of warranty and getting a repair cost RM300, new phone is only RM550.

but the XV's LTE comes in handy.

Looks like I will have to goes down to field to personally hand feel molest it abit before deciding tongue.gif

Has anyone got a hand on this phone? Need abit of advice here. icon_question.gif

I am actually very interested in the xperia v. But two things troubled me.

First is the battery. I am worried that it might affect daily use. Some review mentioned bad battery life. So if I am on travel for example, make calls, use GPS, listen music, play games, see some video, maybe it couldn't last half-day? I'm affraid that i have to charge it everyday.

Another is the camera. Is it decent enough? Now there are new exmor rs camera on xperia z with hdr support. But i see xperia v also got hdr support. How well does exmor r fare compared to rs?


I actually don't want to wait anymore. But the attraction of xperia z is too great. This dilemma is all because of sony.

Hope if anyone know this. Thank in advanced.

TX's Camera is better than V? I thuoght they are the same? Just that V's camera got hdr while TX doesn't have?
Also i think the battery is same size?

The screen actually doesn't concern me, just the battery life and the camera, cos the new camera now is so powerful.

Hi, mind to the share how the battery fare, and if the camera live up to expectation? In broad daylight? Low light? High contrast?
*
Unfortunately I've only had the phone a for 2 days so it's hard to tell. Probably better to look up other reviews, but battery life seems average to me, nothing special, but I'm a light user so it doesn't bother me. Camera I've yet to test properly, but seems pretty good to me for general photos - especially in good lighting (I haven't used any other 'high end' phone cameras so I don't have a comparison). Low light is definitely a bit noisy and focusing can take a while, but I'm generally happy with it.

The screen is really sharp, though I do wish the screen had a bit deeper blacks and higher brightness, but then again, I'm coming from an OLED screen.

I personally went with the V because I didn't want a >4.3" display and needed a removable battery/microsd. Being waterproof was also a huge plus. I'm happy so far.

The battery life should be better than TX as its screen is smaller. Should last at least 1 day with moderate use. Shouldn't be poorer than other smartphones since we know this is a common problem with today's smartphones so as such I don't think anyone would regret buying it just because of the battery wink.gif My solution for battery (as I'm a heavy user) is to have an original car charger and plug it in everytime I get into the car, and the same goes for the USB cable on my office computer. I use bluetooth headset for freedom and have no problem with battery life.

V camera should be best in it class. RS just means the sensor is stacked to save space for other components which is a big deal in the smartphone hardware spec race. Aside from that it has the HDR and bright images in low lighting features that's already offered in V camera so image quality difference will not be night and day or we would've heard a lot of buzz about Xperia GX camera (already sporting Exmor RS).

Can't wait to get mine next week!

Does anybody know how many devices can be connected to this phone for the wifi hotspot function? Apparently the guy at the booth don't know much about the phone. Nevermind, they're just promoters.

Went to ask in Gurney Plaza Penang. The guy in the Celcom outlet there says that Xperia V hasn't reached Penang yet. Saw Xperia TX there and in the Sony Store. And we can't make use the Youth Communication Package at Celcom outlets, only BlueCube (which he pronounced BlueTube!).

Still getting torn apart between choices: V, TX, Z.
V had an edge on TX by now until the Z landed with "reasonable" price tag.

Xperia z is too premium for me. I also looking for a water resistant phone + good design. Xperia acro s just a bit thicker and it seem like running out of stock already. Now my mind want to go to this xperia v, water resistant and good looking. The only question is when sony will release this phone in Malaysia? Any clue? If it this chinese new year or march, i have no problem to wait a bit more. But if this phone not available for Malaysia market, please let me know because i need to decide to buy my 1st smartphone.

but one thing that annoys me is that apps are running in the background, eating up my battery life... :/ even when the phone is in sleep mode. need to find ways to disable auto start up

Does the screen protector for this model already available? Care to share which brand?
Does it has the anti shatter protector sheet, or whatever they call it?
If it has, how do we apply the screen protector? Do we need to remove the sheet first, or just apply on top of it?

Can anyone answer me?The white xperia v cover is glossy or matte?

It's matte, and I love it! The salesgirl had a hard time keying in the phone, then I asked if there's a problem. She said she had to key it in as TX first because it's not yet in the system and I was the first person to buy it. First in Malaysia to get it from an official Sony store eh? Not bad smile.gif

Oh, one note of advice though. The phone uses micro sim. My excitement was shortlived because I can't really use my phone yet until go to Maxis today to downsize my simcard. Suggest you switch to micro sim before you get your phone for uninterrupted excitement smile.gif

Yeah, actually they're all idiots. That's why the shopping experience here can't compare to other world class cities like Singapore, London etc. They don't know their own product and can't offer you any information you don't already know. I know a lot more than they do. Yesterday, just before sony style klcc confirmed it has arrived, sony style the curve told me it's arriving at the end of the month. Pfffh....like I said, idiots.

Anyway, battery life sucks just about as much as any other smartphone. No surprises there.

Actually, I mainly use my data plan because it's unlimited and I wanna get my money's worth. That's why I have car charger, usb charger at my work computer & I have a portable stick charger when I'm on the go. In short, I'm charged ALL the time because I don't depend on battery life on any smartphone/tablet. I used to have 3 batteries for my old X10 laugh.gif

RM1599 at Sony Style. I wanted to use credit card for the one selling RM1499 at Sg Wang, but got 2.5% charge, better with Sony Style, at least I get Sony points.


My review from 24 solid hours with my new baby:

Battery

Can't really say now but like I said no surprises. I expected it to drain like crazy because I play with it all the time. It happens to everyone when they get their new toy. And even more so that the battery hasn't been conditioned. This is my 2nd charge cycle. Another 2-3 charge cycles the battery would be optimally conditioned for me to give a proper review. FYI 1 charge cycle= 1 x straight charge (power off), 1 x straight discharge (use phone until 0% battery with no charging in between)

Build

Very solid, feels premium in the hand, unlike the cheap, creaking back cover, plasticky feel of my Arc S. Comfortable to hold, just the right weight. Matte back, and I'm glad because they usually opt for cheap glossy plastic for white models. Not this time. Perfect.

Looks

Very pretty, however, looking straight at it at right angle, the're no telling if the model is black or white until you tilt it a bit. Looks nice anyway, kind of a little 'iPhone' ish even, but very clean lines and very well defined. However, once the display is on, the display looks a little disproportionate to the whole phone, perhaps it might look more proportionate if the display is a little higher. But that's just nitpicking, because it still looks super cool.

Camera

This phone flies where camera is concerned. I am a long time mobile imaging connoisseur, and the settings permutations I could play with is endless! Quality is much better than my Arc S, night photos are excellent. Day time photos are perfect. The HDR really works when strong backlight is present and makes the subject brighter. However, if you're not one who tinkers with the settings and would like to settle for the ol' point and shoot, then the Superior Auto feature will help you achieve the best perceived result in any condition. I have nothing to complain in this department except that I miss a dedicated shutter button. However, everything else seems in order. God willing I shall post some of my sample shots here when I have the time.

Music

My, my, my. All Xperia phones should have the ClearAudio+ feature. It's exactly what it is, clear audio. Nice and crisp, the phone stands in nicely as a dedicated Walkman device which makes me wonder- isn't it gonna kill their Walkman devices? But that's for them to worry about because I'm truly happy with the Walkman features. However, I have my own little audiophile equalizer setting that I think sounds better than ClearAudio+. Never thought that would be possible, and just when I thought things couldn't get any better, there's even 2 custom preset settings that we can save! This is a feature I've been wanting since forever. I don't think any other Walkman has this because it was reserved for dedicated Walkman devices. Not anymore!

So far I'm really happy and the things I reviewed are the things that matter to me the most. Feel free to post any other questions should you have any...

But that's just nitpicking, because it still looks super cool.

Camera

This phone flies where camera is concerned. I am a long time mobile imaging connoisseur, and the settings permutations I could play with is endless! Quality is much better than my Arc S, night photos are excellent. Day time photos are perfect. The HDR really works when strong backlight is present and makes the subject brighter. However, if you're not one who tinkers with the settings and would like to settle for the ol' point and shoot, then the Superior Auto feature will help you achieve the best perceived result in any condition. I have nothing to complain in this department except that I miss a dedicated shutter button. However, everything else seems in order. God willing I shall post some of my sample shots here when I have the time.

Music

My, my, my. All Xperia phones should have the ClearAudio+ feature. It's exactly what it is, clear audio. Nice and crisp, the phone stands in nicely as a dedicated Walkman device which makes me wonder- isn't it gonna kill their Walkman devices? But that's for them to worry about because I'm truly happy with the Walkman features. However, I have my own little audiophile equalizer setting that I think sounds better than ClearAudio+. Never thought that would be possible, and just when I thought things couldn't get any better, there's even 2 custom preset settings that we can save! This is a feature I've been wanting since forever. I don't think any other Walkman has this because it was reserved for dedicated Walkman devices. Not anymore!

So far I'm really happy and the things I reviewed are the things that matter to me the most. Feel free to post any other questions should you have any...

But, coming from Note, I do feel the front camera is a bit useless without native 3G video call...

Front camera is depend on individual preference. But for people like me it doesn't matter. Nearly 6 years using a phone with front camera, i really can remember i just use it once for a testing. I still prefer a voice call. More megapixel for front camera maybe need a better internet connection for video call via voip. More megapixel will use more bandwith. That just my assumption. I dont know whether it is correct or not.

One more improvement I found, the phone plays video formats other than 3gp and mp4. So far it supports avi, should support mkv & flv as well. Dunno if this is the standard across the new xperia line rclxm9.gif

Yeah, me too. A bit strange but there's probably some technical explanation for it. Not to bothered because I'm more for quality, not megapixels.
Btw, just checked, it doesn't play flv. Back to moboplayer on that one then, sheesh.

Actually, the culprit for the battery drain is a process called media server. It uses up battery even more than the screen which is normally the usual suspect. It keeps scanning media in a loop due to some corrupt or inconsistent files in your sd card. The solution is to format your sd card and keep it tidy afaik.

I bought this phone last Sunday. Now on second charge and until now my battery reaching 20hours and still got 22% left. I'm just a light user and normally I will on data for 8-9 hours and when im at home I change to WiFi until morning. So far I like this phone. Sometimes its really look like iPhone. Decent build quality and beautiful design.

Tried this phone just now at Low Yat. To me it's very similar to the Xperia TX but with smaller screen and memory. Its plus is that it's water resistant.

To those who bought this, why did you choose this over the Xperia TX?

+1. Also a newer processor compare to Xperia TX.

I want to ask u all about nfc thing. Does this feature consume a lot of battery if it turn ON all the time. Im asking about this because i have a nfc tag. im planning to use this tag for data/wifi turn ON/OFF. If i need to turn nfc thing before using the tag, its a bit annoying and better just to manually turn the data/wifi by myself.

V is a beautiful device, the specs r also very good.. but already used arc fir almost 2 years, i guess changing ti this wont make a lot of different term of screen size, thus i ll wait for Z, but between this v n s3 mini, i ll go for v ni doubt.

If order online from Sony store, do you guys know what will come with the package? I don't feel like waiting for the Sony in Kuching, there's still no stock yet. ><

Panic for a while because my Xperia v cannot turn on. Whem I take it out from my pocket it suddenly no power at all. After that I take out the battery, put it back and fortunately it can turn on.

Xperia v actually not the phone I want to buy from a start. My 1st thought was to buy Xperia p 4 month ago but after that change my mind to Xperia s, sl, ion, acro s, tx and finally I choose this phone eventhough it has a less memory than tx, ion and acro s. Water resistance was a main reason and then lte, design, newer processor and lighter than galaxy s3. The main reason I'm not choose acro s because that phone quite heavy.

1 thing tjat hate from this phone at the moment was because of internet browser by Sony. it's difficult to use. But that not a big issue because I prefer to use other browser such as opera mini.

I said it before and I'll say it again. Most Malaysian sales people are idiots, they don't know anything about what they're selling. All Sony centres across Malaysia are selling it for RM1599. Idiots like that like to assume just because it's new.


Btw, here are some of the latest photos I took today

Similar to my Sony Tablet S problem. For my case is actually can be ON, but need to wait very long after press power button, it could from few seconds up to 10 minutes....

After seeing this, it make me think twice on Sony.

So far no problem. Btw, it is better to monitor at least 5 days to 1 week to make assumption regarding this bug.

Finally I've got it!!! Didn't had a second thought once I've laid my hands on the phone during demo.

Btw, you're right bro. I got it from PC image for RM1480 by cash, bundled with a 2000mah powerbank. Then i add myself a 32gb micro sd.

Excited with the new toy! rclxm9.gif But hopefully the SOD problem will be solved soon else it'll be a joy breaker along the way. smile.gif

Next in the waiting line is the DK25 charging dock. Hopefully it'll get to Malaysia coz it's an advantage not needing to frequently open the charging flap. Worry it'll tear and wear and hamper then water resistant feature.

Btw, has any users know how do I move or change the default apps installation to micro sd instead of the internal storage? I could not find this option.

Might need to root your phone first. No prob, I'll share if i managed to garnered info and tried it out successfully.

Yep, the powerbank is free. I asked them do they give any freebies or not then they told me they'll give me a free powerbank. Or i can opt for micro sd.

In the end i took powerbank then buy micro sd separately, should be more worth it this way. biggrin.gif

once already. The phone started to act funny and kill the Walkman app every time I open it. Then it wasn't responsive anymore when I tried to wake it from standby. It seems to me like a memory leak problem. Not too worried about it though, nothing a software update can't fix wink.gif

At this point, no. I'm still very busy experimening with ALL the settings. I've never had to deal with so many settings in a single camera! Usually it's just one menu to open and that's it, but now the settings permutation seems endless. But I suspect when all the experimenting is over, I'll use Superior Auto in most cases and use custom settings to get particular effects that I want. Superior Auto is already good in most cases.

For me the best is at Sony Style. I get Sony points and have peace of mind. 'Best' is subjective, really.

At this point, no. I'm still very busy experimening with ALL the settings. I've never had to deal with so many settings in a single camera! Usually it's just one menu to open and that's it, but now the settings permutation seems endless. But I suspect when all the experimenting is over, I'll use Superior Auto in most cases and use custom settings to get particular effects that I want. Superior Auto is already good in most cases.
For me the best is at Sony Style. I get Sony points and have peace of mind. 'Best' is subjective, really.

Basic stuff. Sony Headset with Clip & extra earbuds, Battery, Fast charger. That's pretty much it.

Thanks. I'm too lazy to mingle around with the different phone camera settings and yes, I'd agree that superior auto is already that good.

Here's a test shot with indoor lighting, superior auto w/o post-processing. Will post more pics if I came across a good scene. smile.gif

Another shot while taking a wash at the basin. Superior auto + flash.

During office hours, i have a limited time to using my phone. With just email and receive a call, the phone can last up to 17-20hours per day. But during weekend when i have so much time browsing, fb and whatsapp, the battery only can last about 8-12 hours.

The camera IS more superior in V than in TX. There are far more settings and it is the first Sony phone to already sport the Superior Auto feature even before Xperia Z. Aside from that it has HDR function. So yes, it does have a better camera than TX. I just don't understand why Sony isn't going all out to promote this phone hmm.gif Sony being Sony, keeps making strange marketing decisions doh.gif

HDR is turned on superior auto mode, max at 12mp.

If you want 13mp you need to go normal mode.

Camcorder no HDR, Xperia Z only for now.

Side note: Tips for lasting battery , press your recent apps and remove them, so that it won't continue running at background draining your battery *especially games*

went to maxis klcc last sunday, found out the lte service currently only applicable for broadband package, mobile internet is yet to get it. so couldn't get to try the lte speed of this phone, until they include mobile internet.

compared with galaxy note, it seems the phone is a lil bit slow in terms of data connectivity. the v sometimes fail to load a webpage whereas the note can load it immediately at the same spot where i sit/stand.

maybe because of different processor? i dont know. but the camera is very good. and the sound. smile.gif

battery wise, with only wifi it can last mora than a day. turn the data on, ... nvm

coming from a 5" screen, i do have problems with the keyboard. very often i will mistype, press the wrong button.

Yes, no LTE yet in Malaysia for mobile network. I asked maxis KLCC the day I bought the phone, so if the phone only support LTE, we're in trouble!

Anyway, strange that you have problems loading a web page on data. It's working flawlessly on mine. Are you using default browser or Chrome?

Anyway, the trick with the keyboard so that you don't mistype it is by turning it on Landscape wink.gif Confirmed to not mistype laugh.gif

i would say the stock keyboard for sony is quite small compared to others. you can download other 3rd party keyboard like touchpal or swype, most of the have bigger keys or customizable.

for me, i am trying to get use to the gesture input, sliding fingers from key to key to input. so far so good.

Found some really useful tips for the xperia v http://www.phonetipsandtricks.com/tips/sony-xperia-v/ and the most interesting part is that you can cancel the phone call by flip your phone facing down.

So far battery getting along quite well. Charged to 100% at 12am midnight yesterday, now almost 24 hours and I'm left with 64%. Very very minimal usage i would say, data traffic off in office, wifi on only when in use to check whatsapp, data traffic on during my badminton for 3 hours, back home on with only wifi again.

Other than that, not much activities. Games and fb all those mostly with my tablet instead. And thus far to report, no SOD issue yet. smile.gif

Wow you are a very light user. Your office also kind to setup a wifi unlike my boss. Only 1 pc available for Internet for all staff meanwhile big boss and his pa got pc with Internet.

So, I need to on my data during office hours. Most of it not for personal use but for company mail checking. Very kedekut.

So far this sod problem happen to me once last week. Now already 1 week sod problem not appear for a 2nd time. Hopefully everything is fine. I'm suspecting a smart connection during charging the battery. I already disabled that function and so far no problem. Please do not come for a 2nd time.

I had found xperia v case from MoreSales.com.my web. Here is the link. http://moresales.com.my/catalog/entry/dfszutqh.shtml

Is it worth and okay to buy from this web since i can't find this type of case in garage sales yet? I have no dealing experience from this web before.

once you enable clear audio, all your equalizer settings will be nullified. You get the clear sound; you'll lose the bass.
