I’ve always been a Sony guy, from the original Walkman, over the Discman, to a number of PlayStation gaming machines, and for the past 3 years, mobile phones. I had a W810i and, ever since that phone died, the Sony-Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro (that’s quite a handful now, isn’t it?).
It worked well enough for over a month, even with the obvious shortcomings, like a small screen and Android 1.6 (Google has released all but 4 (!) more major updates), but I knew that from the get-go.
2 weeks ago, on Monday, I suddenly and inexplicably couldn’t receive any texts anymore. Thankfully, Tuesday afternoon, that problem was unexpectedly solved. I didn’t think much of it, and went happily on my way. Until the next Saturday.
All of a sudden, that problem presented itself again, but now it didn’t fix itself like last time. Instead, days later, the problem still persevered. Only to get worse.
Last Wednesday, I tried rebooting it by turning it off and back on. It went no further than the initial splash-screen, all the while draining the battery like there’s no tomorrow.
So I went to scour the internet, and found a solution. I had to completely reset my phone, deleting all personal data. Yay. And, according to the solution, the problem is likely to present itself again. More yay. Luckily, I was able to save some stuff, like SIM contacts, but I’m severely disgruntled, to say the very least.
To everyone who tried to contact me and who I've blatantly 'ignored' last week: a heartfelt sorry!
I’ll sit out this ride (until the problems pop up again or it bricks), but it’s the last Sony device I’ll ever have spent my money on, guaranteed. I’m sick of it. I tried. I really did. But there simply is a line. And this is it. Go to hell, Sony, bye bye. Good riddance.
