  • RG bhai , whatever the other options are, nothing looks as cool as xperia u , only thing thats not working for it, is the limited memory.( 4 GB for apps and 4GB for user storage). BUT ,,,, xperia comes with USB on the go functionality (USB OTG) , means it can connect to almost anything that have a usb port on it (execpt some power hungry devices), including flash drives, keybords, joysticks etc,. the phone has4 gb storage so what?, get a usb otg cable frm ebay and connect ur pendrives to it ,and storing movies on pendrives is better than transferring to slow micro sd/ phone memmory .
    so i guess this takes care of the memory problem that most people are worried about.

      Thanks

      So no more confusions; its going to be a very very hard bargain with XPeria U otherwise simply stick with WT19i (live Walkman). The only question remains is, when do I buy after getting this month's pay cheque

      Thanks a lot guys

      Ashwin - Thank you very much, but I'm sry that I switched from your fav Nokia 500. You played a very important role to switch to Nokia 500 & also from switching from Nokia 500 Thanks.

      • The lack of complexity while using cracked apps itself is enough to point out that this can never be considered as a true SmartPhone OS


        This is GENIUS!

        Aargee: Sony UI has a lot of bloatware which slows the phone down. I suggest rooting and uninstalling of unnecessary apps. You can always unroot if at all some day you have to claim warranty. And go for the phone with the most inbuilt storage because even if you use a class 4 SDHC card, the access times are way higher. Maybe a class 6 SDHC will help but I haven't tried it yet.

            Certainly I will opt for more memory, but no more questions; it will be Xperia U or WT19i, one of these & one of this only. No more confusions

              When we replace memory card for various purposes, ahem ahem... The system apps gets messed up the user files icon position etc, but since you're not into it then never mind.

                You're from a way different generation from mine, do you seriously think you can transfer movie files via bluetooth? Most of them are over a gb, so we swap memory cards.

                • Came across this news - Nokia halves price of Lumia 900, investors see it as sign of desperation - The Economic Times

                  Ashwin, you need to think about your love towards Nokia; sadly, I still love Nokia, but I don't like their attitude (Android)

                    Lemme give you a detailed history of look/work alikes.
                    S40<A100<BB OS<Bada/Android.

                    And I would say BB is also better than symbian.
                    Take a gun, put it to your head and pull the trigger.
                    I use a BB8520 and BB9360 hence I know what it feels to use an overpriced pager. In reliability terms it kicks competition(But it's a double edged sword cause the OS works off ram and I mean that literally, that's the reason why the BB can't be turned off.), but it ends there.

                    Symbian was lame. I was never attracted to smartphones. When I was in school and my uncle got that Eseries from Nokia it just sucked !! THERE WAS NOTHING !!! all it could do was open office files. no good cam, music player. I think that was the fall of both BB and symbian they wanted to be too much of a smartphone.
                    Dude I believe that was an S60v3, how can you have fun with a smartphone without hacking it? Hence proving you didn't utilise it properly, now why blaming a wonderful piece of tech?

                    BB and Symbian fell cause people forgot the real reason for owning a smartphone and started using it for weird things, like throwing a so called bird without wings at pigs without feet. And Android was there to fill that void as a beginners smartphone os. Now you would argue about the media features, well thats cause when the time Symbian and BB ruled, people who could afford smartphones could also afford laptops, Walkmans, cameras etc.

                    Anyway what are the two paid apps that you use? the only app i need to buy is tapatalk to use for xbhp and couple of other forums but am not buying it. use browser or wait till i get to a pc.
                    Tapatalk and Screenshot ER, can you recommend any good apps?

                      I don't care much about Nokia as I think everyone thinks i do, it's the OS that matters.
                      1. iOS - the only mobile platform that has the potential of taking on a full fledged pc, is short rock solid functionality.
                      2. Symbian - the only os that has best of both worlds, reliability and functionality.
                      3. BB OS - Rock solid reliability, but limited functionality.

                        NOT EVERYONE BOTHERS ABOUT HACKING/CRACKING/ROOTING !!! and that is not the definition of a smartphone.

                        BB and Symbian fell cause people forgot the real reason for owning a smartphone and started using it for weird things, like throwing a so called bird without wings at pigs without feet.

                        yes you are smarter than everyone than 51% of the people who use android. got it ! and ROFL now you are saying people who own a smartphone cant afford laptops/ipods/cameras? I own all of them by the way and yet i would like my phone to be a android or iOS than symbian or bb.

                          Am really puzzled here. Could you please elaborate on how weak Android as a mobile OS is right now and how strong Symbian and the rest you have mentioned above. A comparo would be most appreciated.

                            Hmmm, there was a time when normal people didnt even use smartphones, and thanks to Android that a tale of the past, and now every tom dick and harry has a so called smartphone.

                            Ok, jokes apart. If you're not intending to root/jailbreak/patch a smartphone then you might be either one of the below.
                            1. Rich as Bill Gates to pay for every single app, without even properly using it.
                            2. Just bought a smartphone to brag around and be cool, and to show everyone your smart enough to use a smartphone,by downloading some crappy apps that's provided in the store.

                            If you're not any of the above then theres no point in you using a smartphone, seriously if you just needed to multitask then any SE A100 based phone would've made you happy.

                            yes obviously a generation which has patience and a big enough memory card to not keep swapping and USB 3.0
                            I stay in a hostel and we're not allowed to keep laptops, so we swap memory cards, copy content in to memory then swap back.

                            In a world that list is true to its ranking this girl is the hottest !!


                            Exactly! You dont have what it takes to see beyond the exterior. For you the above may be hot, but thats only what you see on the outside (Just like Androids BLING'y GUI), where as the inside remains hollow(Same Java Base).

                            Lol, dont blame me You dug your own grave.

                            Symbian is dead. there is no point discussing about it.
                            Frankly I too hope they replace Symbian, but atleast with something thats worth its original glory. Not some flashy mutation.

                            I didnt mean to way off Android as weak, I just pointed out the benefits of Symbian, and I believe I did a good job, if you believe otherwise then feel free to point out the Flaws in Symbian and Androids + points over it. And I mean substantial points rather than the usual Android is new Symbian is old dialogue, which many Android FanBoy's have been chanting all along without any substantial proof to backup their claims.

                              The above is a side by side pic of a Java game for S60v5(Symbian) and an Android ROM.
                              Have you ever tried starting up your phone by pressing some other keys along with it(VolUp+Green+Power), you'll see a black screen with text similar to dos, people who've used Linux before would recognize it without a second for thought, yeah its a Kernel based on Linux. In short you see a kind of emulation.

                              Now the below is a pic of Symbian^3 Core.


                              This is just the core alone and you can see an entire independent architecture, in a way similar to the C: of you're windows os.

                                Dude your thoughts are convoluted. BB's were always targeted for business users until lately when they started to loose business to other major platforms , they added few common features and started to promote it as a phone for everybody. There were times when Nokia 6600 was sold as smartphone. I did own one and was bragging of its capabilities. Nobody hates Nokia and Symbian, it's just that people have moved to a better platform that offers more than what Symbian could offer. Since now the so called smartphones are affordable and purchasing power of Indians has increased, people have started buying it. Nokia rested in its laurels and couldn't answer the onslaught of IOS and Android. That's the truth and Nokia themselves will support Symbian till 2016 to enable smooth transition to Windows platform. After that it's fate is sealed.

                                How did Symbian phone's look and operate before the advent of IOS and Android? If the platform was so robust and secure, why did Nokia opt to meego then later Windows platform? I sincerely hope Symbian stays and powers lower end phones while Nokia uses Windows platform to power mid range and high end phones.
