I purchased the Xpedia GO soon after it came out. It is actually quite a nice little phone (especially as a second phone), however, it has a MAJOR design fault. Do NOT EVER try and use a MICRO SIM with a "caddy" (the normal way you use a "micro" sim on any other phone.
Pros:
  • It's waterproof
Cons:
  • SONY !!! I wouldn't buy another Sony on the basis of their awful Customer Service !!

The Sony Xperia Go is quite the looker, and under the bonnet it's packing all the right hardware: it's simply an added bonus that the whole affair is water and dust resistant. However, unless you're spectacularly butterfingered or work on an oil rig, it's hard to recommend over rivals: running...
