I've read the review of tx before. Most of the reviews, including androidpolice, said that tx is not a bad phone. But just that it is also nothing really outstanding about it to be categorize it as a flagship model... Of course, when sony say its a flagship device, expectations must be high.
Have it been released earlier, it surely is an evolutionary device with its sleek design and performance. But it just arrive a little too late, over shadowed by quad core phones like s3, note2 and one x, nexus 4,...

like i said, it's definitely not a bad phone, just not there yet to compete head on with the "big boys". for new user definitely worth it, more so for the affordable price now.
starting 2012, quad core phones are making headlines. so the TX, being a dual core only, certainly will lose out in terms of marketing. true that the dual core S4 in TX are very good processor, where in some cases it even outbeat the quad core performance. but in this real world, people tends to look at numbers, GHz, dual core, quad core, ram.... common people will still think "of course 4 brains are better than 2 brains".
one x... on paper it is indeed a very promising device. if you read all the reviews, it can be said second only to the "almighty" S3 at that time. however, u r right that the battery disappoint. u may also read up the one x thread, and u'll find that there's alot of qc problem, especially the 1st batch...

well, anyway, these r just my opinion.
TX used to be my targeted phone when it was first announced
but eventually got tired of the long wait and gotten myself acro s last year. now eying on the Z/ZL

No. V can mandi. both T and TX also takut mandi la

as i know, the pre-applied shaatter proof sheet is very sensitive to scratches. i think adding another layer of screen protector may decrease the touch sensitivity, but barely noticeable la.

no. xperia sp is c530x, codename huashan
c670x is something else yet to be named

WTA, for those who have updated to JB, does the update change the UI interface to greyish tone as seen in the Xperia Z?

yeah, i know it's the same launcher as XZ. but as some forumer in XZ mentioned, the screen looks washout is because if the default UI greyish theme. once they root the phone, they can change the UI theme to black, which improve the contrast of the screen.

so, my concern is do you guys feels that the screen looks more greyish/washout after updating to JB?

I use BS player

I use BS player
