Hi Lotters, Can you really believe this? Sony Ericsson, the name has its own brand and image in the market. I am a huge fan of it and have only used Sony Ericsson mobiles. Unfortunately, this brand do not have a full fledged 3G phones when this technology has been introduced in the country and many of the carriers have slowly moved on it. In the last year, 2010 the company has released a few high end models and have had a very high hopes on it, they were: Aino, Satio, Vivaz, Xperia. The prices of these mobiles were more than 20k. I liked Sony Ericsson Aino and became a huge fan of it and started the discussion in my circuit as they always trust me if I am talking about Sony Ericsson. The day came, Aino has hit the market and people were really fighting to purchase the product. Within some days, people found it very difficult to use and understand the mobile. It was not at all attractive than the way it was shown on the web. The only mobile that caught my attention next to Aino was Sony Ericsson Vivaz. That was a far better option that Aino and I have suggested the same for many of my friends and they are happily using it. The drawback of these high end mobiles is that they do not have a front camera that is used for video calling in 3G. It was a worrying feature for me, then I wrote a mail to the company about the same and asked if you have any plans of designing new mobiles that have a front camera, this feature is being provided by all the other manufacturers and at a lesser prices. Me being a loyal chap to Sony, I will be sticking to it. I received a reply on the same and the content was they are working on it and soon they have very good quality 3G phones with front camera. Finally, they have come up with Xperia series of the 3G phones where the front camera has been installed. Really waiting for them to be available in the market and get one ASAP.

So, Finally they are listening to you and launching the one you liked. Surely they should think about this new technology as competition is getting more and more hard. I don't having the sony phone now but I was using only sony phones in past. But after purchasing iphone i still haven't changed it. But i have heard that new model of xperia will be great.. Hope so..

Yes AKP, you are right. Luckily they have responded to my email and then have designed new models where it has the secondary camera that is used for Video calling. These phones will be soon available in India. The starting price could be some where near Rs 20000. Might get one soon!

I too am a big fan of Sony Ericsson. I like the work they put into their phones to make them stylish. I will be shopping for a high end mobile phone from them soon.
