U should have sent it to their HQ.
Last time when Xperia is still Sony Ericsson, I sent my Xperia straight to Menara Amcorp where their technician is based. The receptionist told me hardware repair at most 3 days, and I sent it twice, it took them 1 day only.

The reason (I think) Sony Service at the Curve need so long is because they have to wait for their schedule to send it there, and another schedule to collect.

Now since Xperia become Sony, I'm not sure where their new technician is based. You can ask around. I heard it's based in Plaza Berjaya.

I'm afraid if you buy other brand, they gonna do the same to you, having their own sweet time to send and collect, unless you're very sure they exchange 1 on 1 in Malaysia like Apple.

edit: the poster below said now iPhone also don't have on spot replacement.
So I next time any brand you buy, just send it straight to their where their technician is based.

Sony HQ took 1 day for me.
It's the so called Service Centre that is not good >.<"

Flash it back to stock 2.3 gingerbread, I can assure you it's very smooth. Can even play Temple Run 2 and Asphalt 7 smoothly, I'm not kidding. 2011 Xperia hardware aren't meant for 4.0 and above.

actually it was one guy in Sony Centre that told me to send to HQ straight. He said because if I send it to their Centre, they have to wait for schedule to send it there and collect it.
So yes the guy is kind enough to tell me this.

I think every staff should let their customer know take how long it will take and what are the other options. ^^

The effect has been there way longer.
The idea is actually from an iPhone game since 2009
I came to know this in 2011 and played in Android.

it has. the parallax effect on the background. it's the same concept.
did u notice the "blocks" actually move abit according to where you tilt to create 3d effects?

I'm not saying the launcher stole the idea. I'm just saying the effect has been done since 2009.
i don't know programming, but the very concept is there;

if accelerometer axis x y z at certain position, the background will move at bit to certain position.

it's nothing innovative and nothing new even in 2012
