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

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

Playing the waiting game. I wonder whether this or the Nexus 4 will reach Malaysian shores first.

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!).

Over in Kopitiam someone has bought a phone not from the list of PKB devices from a Clixster dealer who 'kautim' any phone. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry57584400

Anyone know whether there are any shops in Penang that will do this?

Is this phone discontinued already?

Is the pink colour officially sold in Malaysia (i.e. not AP set)?

What's the RRP in Sony Stores?

Z1 has been announced. So does this phone still hold its own against new phones? It's still faster than Xperia SP and ZR right, because of the dual core Krait?

Don't always double post ... okay?
Don't always ask about non-related model ... okay?
Don't always ....

What the heck, kid? Double standards. How come you can mention other models but when other people post, you said they've gone off-topic?! I've admitted my mistake (that V > ZR when it's SP > ZR > V), why don't you too?

Isn't this Xperia V thread. Shouldn't we be discussing the merits of this phone to you know, encourage people to buy this phone?

Of course V is not in the same league as the flagship Z1. We're comparing the mid-range.

SP: heavier, camera with less megapixels, larger screen hence lower PPI, not water and dust resistant. Slightly higher clocked CPU.
ZR : larger screen hence lower PPI.

SP beats ZR in about half of the tests. * Oops my bad, SP's processor is not the same as V's. Because SP's dual core Krait is clocked higher at 1.6 GHz. Not because dual core Krait 1.5 GHz (V) > quad core Krait 1.5 GHz (ZR). ZR is the true successor to V.

Thanks for posting your comparison and two cents, that's what I wanted to know.

ZR vs. V: I checked some more, ZR is nearly the same size as V despite the larger screen and bigger battery. One shortfall of ZR is that the Malaysia model doesn't have LTE. I'm going to be using it in an LTE enabled country so still prefer V as it has it all! ZR LTE model's price is also nearly double the V's.

Like I said, double standards! You accuse people but when people accuse you back, you deny acting the same way. You're not the mod here. I called you a kid and will continue to do so because you're behaving immaturely. Nothing to do with how pro you are or how long you've been an Android user.

I would say, NO

I bought the last unit of this in a mall in Penang. Completely discontinued. Most shops have already sent back their remaining stocks to Sony. Such a little-known model. *sob*

This phone is great. Feels like a 'dummy' phone as it's so light and the display looks printed on (the power of sensor-on-lens!) the phone itself.

I couldn't believe how bad the battery life was until I experienced it myself. Gonna buy extended battery for the longer battery life and for a better grip (esp. as my finger blocks the camera).

Looking forward to using it with LTE!
