Xperia u HD display and powerful speed I bought Xperia u about 3 month ahead and This phone really have a best price and you can play any HD games on it and have a best design but about the low storage it dosent important becaue you can buy a usb on the go slot card to access bigger storage and any good thing you can see it in this phone.

S.U.P. Sony-This U is for Me! I bought this mainly as a second phone, to keep my Sony SmartWatch going when I'm packing my Nokia. But I keep swapping SIMS cards out and using this my daily driver. Smooth, responsive, the Xperia U has absolutely everything you need. Screen is gorgeous for such a cost-effective resolution. And heck yeah I do switch those bottoms out every other dy or so. Reviews haven't even mentioned the super-cool lenticular 3-D effect you can take using the camera, worth the price of admission alone. Hasn't failed yet to catch someone's attention when I pull it out in shops, with friends, etc. You can test just fine on it (even vertically, which I use the most#, don't let nay-sayers who don't have one say the keyboard is too small. When they do upgrade this, Ice Cream Sandwich wil be just...er...icing on the cake. This is my favorite Sony phone yet, and I've had my share. Keep it up Sony, you'll win America's hearts #and ears) yet with this kind of perfection. July 18, 2012
