    Hiya, Just Wondering how people finding using this phone? Has it slowed down after a few months? How's the camera? Keyboard size? Is it a sturdy phone or could easily get broken? Cons and pros? What's the battery life?

    Have had Xperia E, U, S and Tipo. No experience of M but I now have a Moto G and would say its on a par with the Xperia M price and spec wise

    I would never recommend a Sony to anyone as they have all been poor really but I would like to hear also what people think on the M

    My money would definitely go for the Moto G as its a great phone and is a league above even the supposed flagship Xperia S that I had.

    From my Xperia experiences they have all slowed to a crawl after a few months and have driven me crazy with the software. Cameras have been on the fair to good side of things but all phones have had appalling screen viewing angles and the supposed scratch resistant screen isn't great on them.

    I was thinking of picking up either the M or a HTC 500 until the Moto G hit the scene. Cheaper and better in almost every possible way.

    You used to go for the Sony because of the better camera, but no longer according to reviews.

    Has it slowed down after a few months?
    a little, not too much. Had it since September. The more of the internal memory you take up the slower it gets of course, so a memory card would need to be bought.


    How's the camera?
    Front camera is absolute crap. Too dark and blurry. Main camera is okay. Doesn't live up to a 5mp expectation.
    Keyboard size?
    Haven't found any problems then again I have very small hands.:P

    Is it a sturdy phone or could easily get broken?
    If you take care of it its fine. I have a silicone cover on it bought from eBay. Only bit of damage is on the charger port (but that's just me being careless)

    Cons and pros?
    Pros: good loudspeaker, slim, nice touchscreen, easy enough to use
    Cons: Small internal memory, crappy camera

    What's the battery life?
    Good enough. It inevitably gets worse over time but it lasts me a whole day nearly on full charge
