So in the household MMRCA tender for a phonuwa while I was peddling 720 and 820 to madamji, she wanted something girly (whatever that means) and asked for a Xperia S/SP I simply nodded yes and after two days of trawling online portals quietly bought a 820 and mailed it to her as gift.
She does not know about it
On a serious note one has to give it to Sony for having such a high sense of self entitlement , The Xperia S series costs about 20-25k INR and while spec wise the display is better than Nokia's it does not look as vibrant , blacks are not black and viewing angle is less. The flashing colour LED strip at the botton end of the phone is a needless distraction. I am a big fan of phones with a good battery and wanted to buy 720 instead however the 512Mb of RAM killed it for me for I was scared as to if MSFT's new Windows release will run as smooth on it as say on a 820 or 9XX. Fruitco is very generous in that department the latest release of iOS is supported on even 4 year old 3GS now that is what is needed when you are selling a phone for 40k+ INR , I personally like to keep my phones until they stop functioning so Nokia's build quality is what did me in.
Madam ji ka kya hai she will yell at me for a day or two but after that 6 months down the line she will be happy about a device which can withstand her abuse (she has already lost a Samsung galaxy in some lake near Doon).
I can't believe people eat something like that, and have the nerve to call it candy. And that too, from first world Scandinavian countries. They ought to be summarily demoted to turd world status just for inventing such nonsense. I thought the Taiwanese plumbed the bottom of the scale with their stinky tofu, but this sounds worse.
. I've bought it on occasion from a local candy store and brought it to work. It is an acquired taste though -- most people think it is weird and my boss is now forever suspicious of anything I offer him.
I was hoping they would make the next Nexus phone. The HTC One was absolutely gorgeous.
