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 !!

  • Solid performance
  • Good camera
  • Great build quality
  • Stunning design

Cons:
  • Needs ICS update
  • No arm case and wrist strap in the bundle

  • Screen resolution a bit low by today's standards
  • No secondary camera
  • no video calls
  • No DivX/XviD video support

Review: Sony Xperia go

The phone is rugged, and manages to look trendy too. In fact, it looks like any other modern smartphone, which is big plus for a phone labelled "tough". (Remember how fugly the Motorola DEFY+ was?) The Xperia go's back panel is extremely sturdy, and all the ports are sealed by plastic flaps.
Pros:
  • Water- and dust-proof
  • Sturdy build
  • Sleek design
  • Impressive sound quality
  • Smooth UI
Cons:
  • Weak earpiece
  • no front-facing camera

It's a nice slim and slick smartphone which is dust and water proof, and yes you can completely submerge it in the water. BODY The camera can also record videos at 720p which is decent enough and the recording is pretty smooth including audio.

"Well the Xperia Go is certainly a disappointment and deffo doesn't warrant a £200 price point. It feels very cheap in the hand and it's finished in some matt effect plastic which picks up mark like a magnet and instantly looks like a worn handset.

Sony Xperia Go review: not for couch potatoes

An active lifestyle demands a certain type of smartphone. At least, that's what the product designers at Sony seem to think. Last year brought the Xperia Active, and now the Xperia Go has seen the light of day.

Great value smartphone!

Shame about the lower than normal screen resolution but it is not a huge screen. It feels really good in the hand with this grippy texture (but not that soft grippy stuff that rubs off easily) and it has really good dual core CPU so it is great value spec wise.

Good phone but some downsides

This is a great phone, except it doesn't come with a front facing camera. Love the fact that its dustproof and water resistant and comes with scratch resistant screen. My problem when I got this phone was that it's headset didn't work with the phone which is both odd and frustrating since I use the...
