One of the reason we (ion owner) bought it its becuz it was larger screen than the S. and comes with memory card expansion. I personally bought it its becuz it comes with so sexy RED which I dnt think theres any devices out there can beat the design and quality of Sony's ion.

Ion is alot more worth getting now, seeing TX and V and the just announced Z/ZL, price definitely affect on ion's and best thing as well is that, dealers usually pack lots freebies with it now compared to what we got it when it first release in msia back in Aug 2012.

ROM and tweaks for ion might be Less compared to other Xperia (S especially) cuz ion did not have any chance to gain attraction eversince S released, thts one thing im pretty annoyed back then when Sony released NXT series and kept ION aside for 6 months after S released.

Im still very proud using my ion even till today though. Ppl and friends around me always amazed by the screen itself and ask me what phone.

To me, iPhone is overpriced and Samsung is overrated as in too many features and I seriously doubt, how many of them who bought it will fully utilized it besides the camera and social media? Correct me if im wrong.

Just my personal thought on using the xperia ion after 6 months purchased. Sorry if i mentioned too long.
