Looks like ion getting some real attention now huh. Glad to see tht.

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.

Ion battery is actually pretty sufficient for average daily usage. Sms, calls, social media, camera. It actually can last for 10-12 hours depends on usage.

I updated my ion to the latest on 3.7 2 weeks back and i was impressed by the improved performance but not with the battery life compared to the 2.8

So i flash back to 2.8 and flash the Cyber shot mod in my ion and my battery still maintain longer than the 3.7 currently.

Im still waiting Sony to come up with battery fix and even better performances like faster loading, louder volume if possible, more responsive touch button, perhaps more or better features on the Walkman or Camera at least?

I haven get to explore mod besides Cyber shot and Walkman now. Im nt using any custom ROM tho cuz im happy with the Go laucher so far.

Now i just hope Sony will improve on battery life and Wifi signal actually. Thats one of the main concern and hopefully boost further improvements on features softwares.

The moment you update to latest firmware 3.7

When loading album photos u will find improvement on loading the photos and responsiveness. Then when you start browsing around your ion say, just update apps or twitter or facebook, you will lose 2% in a minute without realizing.

Its just dramatic improvement on the performances but a step back for battery life.

Yup. The fella who created the mod should really work for Sony cuz its exactly what a Sony smartphone should have been. To fully show its power and performance on entertainment.

Yeah. Now im looking forward more options and features on e cyber shot and if possible, reduce noises as much as possible. I still cannot accept the fact my bro's xperia ray camera is way less noise and better than my ion. It shouldn be that way.

Didn really look into it but if not mistaken is about 40mb? The Walkman mod which I posted in the previous thread before this. Its an enhancement for the original Walkman we have in ION. It basically enhance the speaker louder which i think we all need for the ion. So yeah..

Root it. Flash it. ENJOY it.

Update to jelly bean is in mid Q1.
After the JB updates on Xperia TX,V only comes to ION and S.

Reason why i root it as well cuz i found out i can actually delete/disable app tht comes frm Sony and with this, it helps save more RAM.
