Sony is a great company, what I feel is happening to them is, Times are changing, and the way we "used" to do business has slowly diminished.........and it is BECAUSE, times are changing that companies are taking advantage of those who haven't quite seen what that change is yet......therefore allowing companies with their "eyes open" to trump all over them......Is it right whats being done to them? Yes and no, No because you don't kick someone when they are down, or if they are "left behind" .......you go back and get them, if you respect that person or have love for them.........and Yes because Sony has to, sooner or later, do what is necessary to regain their "rightful" position.......even if it means playing the justice game and making others give back what you once owned!

Full faith in you Sony and no matter what you will always be apart of my childhood and young teen days..........as well as even now :)

Let me summarize to you, sony did well because of the attractive design. :)

14. lovefist posted on 06 Dec 2012, 05:57 1 4

very very true. sony fans always talking about xperia design.. feels good not cheap.. blah blah..

22. SonyXperiaNexus posted on 06 Dec 2012, 12:54 3

are you saying it isnt good?

24. XPERIA-KNIGHT posted on 06 Dec 2012, 15:12 1

isnt that the main reason why the people want the iphone wendy?

what are you tryin to say? smh

25. Ksolaoke posted on 06 Dec 2012, 15:33

That's debatable

27. XPERIA-KNIGHT posted on 06 Dec 2012, 15:56 1

so is what she stated, what about the loyal fans that would buy an xperia phone regardless of what it looks like??

yes design is a major selling point but not the "only" reason why people buy a phone

Look its wendy were talking about here do i need to explain any further? :(

the only reason why im responding to her is because people seem to believe what she just wrote.....and that would be a lie to say it is because of design only that people bought an xperia phone

when you have people that like the Sony brand alone, they also like the exclusive walkman music app it brings, and it being a playstation certified phone makes it even more desirable!

32. Ksolaoke posted on 07 Dec 2012, 08:35

True :)

28. wendygarett (limited) 2 days ago posted on 06 Dec 2012, 17:45 1

I'm just expressing my thought bro :)
Nothing special, really

31. XPERIA-KNIGHT posted on 07 Dec 2012, 00:08 1

naaah i get the feelin you were tryin to say a little more than what u wrote sorry...

33. wendygarett (limited) 2 days ago posted on 07 Dec 2012, 09:07 1

No I'm not >.<
Stop doubting me ok
Sigh nevermind...

3. bayhuy posted on 06 Dec 2012, 02:56 6

This is mainly because Sony offered low-end and mid-range devices...

6. SonyXperiaNexus posted on 06 Dec 2012, 03:31 13

to prepare the market for their high end. odin and yuga are coming baby

12. pyradark posted on 06 Dec 2012, 05:22 3

inorder to survive, they have to bite in.
but those low & mid range device is way better looking than the beast of other like S3
:)

Sony deserves the 1st place in android world. They should advertise their device like samsung

9. XiphiasGladius posted on 06 Dec 2012, 04:34

They still need to leap frog samsung's hardware (processors) to do just that. Also they need to focus more on future rival devices rather that competing against the SGS3 & iPhone5 when they made the Odin/Yuga.

Sony currently concentrate their efforts on Android (to develop feature rich customized versions of Android I guess).

Sony is very strong in cameras, screens and games too. Sony brand is one of the biggest and I believe Sony will be very successful next year.

SS will still be on top but I think Sony will move very close to them.

5. MeoCao (unregistered) posted on 06 Dec 2012, 03:07 6

HTC makes nice phones but they do not have muscles to compete with the best. HTC has very little resources: ecosystem, capital, manufacturing arms, software development...

Sony has almost everything, they lacked focus that's why their position dropped so low, but once they regain the focus...

SS watch out!!

7. redmd posted on 06 Dec 2012, 03:50 3

Sony needs to release their flagship on time. they have yet to release a quad core phone even Lenovo has one now.

26. Ksolaoke posted on 06 Dec 2012, 15:38

They didn't because they didn't think the true potential of dual core have be reached yet, but with the Xperia T, i think it's safe to say it's time to move forward :)

10. Thephonegeek posted on 06 Dec 2012, 04:54 3

Because sony phones are affordable and well designed.

11. XYZ360 posted on 06 Dec 2012, 04:56 3

13. darac posted on 06 Dec 2012, 05:22 1
