Hi, I decided to put some information about my (roughly) new phone which I bought it in 2011 Oct. This isn’t a proper review, just giving my own comments about it. Everybody have different demands and here’s my best choice

Many people say that screen size (3″) or resolution (480*320 pixels) is small comparing new phones, but this is a phone that is made for sport and half-tough environment. It’s not shock-proof, the scratch-resistance isn’t that good, I got two scratches when I removed the layer on screen. Also no front-camera These common disadvantages aren’t important to me like large screen or front-camera. The water-proof is the main item which I decided to buy this phone.

There are two same level competitors Motorola Defy+ and Samsung Galaxy Xcover (or Xtreme). Samsung Xcover has lower CPU (800 Mhz) and lower camera pixels (3.15 MP). Motorola Defy+ is better in screen size (480*854 pixels, 3.7″) and type (Gorilla Glass), but I heard that Motorola updates its devices late or have some issues, also living in Asia will brings you better support by an Asian brand rather American. There are lots of Sony Ericsson Branches here in Malaysia than Motorola.

 Added on 2012 Feb 15th: according to my friends phones which have much higher resolutions, Xperia Active has a really smooth UI. it should be because of resolution size.
