Fantastic Value Overall, this phone is a fantastic value for the price. The UI included for Sony phones is by far the best baked in UI system, years beyond anything HTC or Samsung offers. It is simply outstanding for usability. I would recommend this buy for anyone looking to get into the prepaid market and doesn't want to be bothered with something large. November 15, 2012
Xperia U ST25a For me, its just the phone that i need, small, fast, great video resolution, average price!... October 25, 2012
