good, but still needs cut at least 2K around because of low storage space but.. I don't think it is gonna happen because of it's spec

Edit: It is already out of stock

I guess the low storage can be ignored thanks to USB-on-the-go. But was in stock before ? AFAIK flipkart puts 'out of stock' on products that haven't launched yet.

And also the screen size is only 3.5", it should be atleast 3.7".

I think it will be available in market for 16k or less if the price on flipkart is 16.5k which is good for a dual core processor phone

Forget the internal storage, with Beats Audio & Sense UI, is the single core One V comparable to Xperia U ?

Its still on pre-order mode mate.
Forthcoming Item.
Pre-order now. ( Release Date: 10/05/2012)

The display specs look good, but the horrible part is "no card slot" & Gingerbread OS.

building hype. i really doubt it'll survive a hard day in the field. build looks so flimsy. Neo V had better build. no loose parts.

I never liked the design of newer xperias. The arc saga was really a marvel which I miss.

I wonder how much space Android hogs!?
4GB? quite unrealistic, no?

Sony U or one V
whihc 1 to buy guys

I really think that 4GB space is very less for both apps as well as other like data like music and photos etc so its better to go with One V

Guys what's the difference between this and Xperia sola? It has got 3.7" screen and has a memory card slot. What i don't get is why is Sony releasing phones with almost same features? Any idea when will it be launched?

Sola has memory card support, so that's a huge pluspoint, plus the floating touch thing is nice I hear, not sure how practical that is anyway.

Why not save some more money and buy HTC One!?
Its much better than Sony Xperia U and V in many aspects.

Xperia U's screen quality is better than Sola. But Sola has a cardslot. If Sola had a 720p sceen then it would be a awesome phone :/ Anyways I am waiting for a price-cut on S2.

Agreed, One V sure looks good. Except the processor is single core, compared to dual core from Xperia U or Sola. That's one tiny issue.

Compared to Xperia U, Xperia Sola has :-
-> Slightly bigger screen
-> Expandable memory slot
-> NFC
-> Floating Touch Display
-> Is slimmer

Enough specs to separate the two handsets IMO and also more VFM compared to Xperia U.
