New user checking in. Bought this during promo. Got the white unit, since there's no black in stock tongue.gif

One thing that not highlighted often enough is that this phone has aptX. Means if you use bluetooth to stream music to a device that is aptX compatible, the music will sound much better. I'm using this with a Samsung HS3000. Works great.

u bought it at sony center? what's the discount/freebies u got from the promo?
*
Yep. Sony Centre at the Curve. KLCC don't have such extensive freebies.

Let's see:

1. Notebook
2. Calendar
3. Headphone MDR ZX300 (if I remember correctly)
4. Screen Protector - front & back
5. Ugly looking cover (but hey, it's free!)
6. Memory Card 16gb
7. Some kiddie looking gel bag with a big cat face
8. Magnetic dock


Btw, seems like the auto camera settings is rather poor. Low light shots seem to like they've been artificially 'smoothened'.

but he want aptX compatible lol. That's the point.

Already got a Samsung HS3000 earlier this year. It's aptX compatible. I can now use whatever headphone I want tongue.gif.

Hmm. Do you find the camera shots all result in a lot of smoothened effect on close up? It's like watercolour.

Whoa. Luckily I installed the free screen protector without realising that the 'naked' screen have a preinstalled film that scratches easily.

I use all my previous phones without any screen protector. Else what's the point of having a beautiful screen, right?

Pics taken seems to all have that blurry effect when I zoom in. No much detail at all. Looks like watercolour. Is there a way to fix this?

Gee. How far you zoomed in.

Just double tapped on the screen. That should bring it to 100% zoom, wouldn't it?

I see. That area is pretty network congested.

Do take note Speedtests do take up much of your quota.

It's ok. I got plenty of quota tongue.gif

Back on topic, you guys happy with the camera?

Bought Camera Zoom FX and ProCapture. Gonna shoot some comparisons. Kinda annoyed that the Superior Auto isn't that superior. Auto is rather important for me as there will be moments I wanna capture without needing to fiddle around with the options.

Did a test under light shade in bright sunlight. Not too happy with the detail. Post processing issue?

The After Focus app does something similar with a bit more hassle. There's a free version. I got this during sale smile.gif
