A phone that makes you want to show it to everyone Sony is by far the only company that dare to be different from the crowd!! Keep up the good work. December 1, 2012
Best phone ever. I am in love with this phone. I decided it was time to upgrade from my old Vivaz when it started acting up. The moment it arrived at my doorstep and I opened the box I loved it. I love it's design and how it fits in my pocket. The apps run good, and the I love how my music sounds on it. I live in an area with horrible service, and with the Vivaz I was constantly having to move it to find service, but with the Tipo I just set it down and it has service. I am planning to buy one for my sister since she needs a new phone too. I am forever a Sony customer because of their quality. November 25, 2012
