Detailed review
Great value for money. I bought it because my old phone, an xperia X10 was broken and in daily use it performs a lot better, which is obvious.

The android 2.3.7 it came with is nice to use, so I don't even mind waiting for ICS much.

There was some bloatware on it (McAfee), but most of it is easily uninstallable.

The DLNA software was a nice surprise, pictures could be displayed on the screen of my xmbc mediacenter without any other configuration or extra apps.
