Thanks for the reply. Waiting for your feedback

socrates · 22-10-2011, 08:36 PM

I am also interested in this phone so I went to the site to look at the specs & was trying to look for the service center locator (as I always do) but could not find it. So i did a google search. & came upon two links which I want to share with you.
Main: Pathetic service of Sony Ericsson in India - Mumbai
Main: Service centres in India ( Mumbai)
I was so pissed off that I took their survey & obviously gave a poor opinion & put this comment

Quote:

' Ur India site does not seem to have the service center locator when I did google search i found it indirectly on Main: Service centres in India ( Mumbai) but even that does not work. SE has lost contact with Customers in India.U shud pack ur bags and leave. Incidentally I use a K750i currently & was interested n the Xperia Neo V but not any longer.'

No wonder the retailers in my area bluntly tell me to avoid Sony Ericsson & also Motorola.

Sarath · 22-10-2011, 09:13 PM

Such statements can't be generalised until we have an overwhelming number of complaints for eg: lynx india

socrates · 22-10-2011, 09:34 PM

I am not sure if your comment is in reference to mine in #12. It is not generalised as you notice in the links I have given even the moderator of the SE site has admitted in that forum that he cannot find any answer for Mumbai. This is a far cry from the recent past when we could find this info, recently I had checked & this was available but out dated as I mentioned in some other post

. A company which cannot maintain its site with correct data is either hiding something or on the skids. In this case its most likely the latter as Sony wants to buyout Ericsson completely. Many years ago I had a similar experience with Motorola in those days those jokers did not even have a India page when I wrote to them asking for info about the model they were selling in India they gave me a typical answer which befits a company more into servicing corporate clients rather than single customers I forwarded that email with my frank opinion of what I think of the company to their HO in Illinois. They actually apologetically replied with a promise to make an India page & probably gave a bamboo to some jerk in India as I got a lot of phone calls enquiring about my health

lol & a lot of blah blah bleat bleat.
By the time there are 'overwhelming' no. of complaints it might be too late for a company in the consumer industry. Even though I am using a SE phone for the last 5+ years I will not accept slip shod info from them about any other of their models especially about after sales service.

damnthenet · 22-10-2011, 10:56 PM

I have ordered one too!!!
Simply couldn't resist the phone and the price!!!

@rohit18rs: Thanks for updating the price at Adexmart.

I thought of going to Adexmart shop directly (as I am in Chennai and the shop too is in Chennai) and buying it. So, called them over the phone. The customer support executives were not sure if the phone was on stock in their shop. Finally one person got my number and said he will give a call back once he knows that the mobile is in stock.

I couldn't wait. I just ordered one online by cash on delivery.

Waiting anxiously for getting the phone!!!!

The same thing happened with me yesterday at most of the mobile shops in my city.
Infact one dealer has even scolded me (literally) for my decision of buying a Sony Ericsson mobile.

sujoyp · 23-10-2011, 09:38 AM

All dealers just want to sell samsung and nokia but they keep SE...

In nagpur you would not even get HTC, MOTO and LG in small shops...only Bigg ones sell it

Sarath · 23-10-2011, 12:26 PM

I don't think they make a healthy profit on the SE phones and hence the behaviour. I have observed the same for many sony products.

SE phones seem to have a good build quality. Their failure rates are far less than competitors much like Nokia.

Having said that Socrates point stands supreme. Lack of service centres is a gross mistake on Sony's part.

socrates · 23-10-2011, 01:51 PM

I dont know if its the comment I made yesterday but today the 'Service Locator' tab is visible not that it improves things as when I tried to search for Mumbai I got

Quote:

'No matches found. Could not find a service centre with the specified criteria.

New Search'

Lol

Looks like the more you try to change the more things remain the same. Should we then assume that SE does not have any service centers in Mumbai or it does not know if it has any or its still in the state of flux as they are still 'updating' their site

lol

Sarath · 23-10-2011, 03:58 PM

BTW meanwhile have you guys heard about the xperia play.

Check this out. If you thought 20k was a price drop for it, this takes it further.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play | Sony Ericsson Playstation Phone | Sony Ericsson Smartphones

There's a GO going on for it. Let me know if you are interested for it @17k

rohit18rs · 23-10-2011, 04:21 PM

@damnthenet-- if your order was confirmed and your online account on their site shows telephonic confirmation done.. then u will probably get.. at this price many other people would have ordered it surely.. this might be the stock problem ..

@others-- for all those who thinks that buying a sony ericcson phone is not good due to customer service-- I have previously owed a mobile of NOKIA, MOTOROLA, SAMSUNG, BLACKBERRY, and believe me i have heard many people ,saying that after sales customer service of MOTOROLA, SAMSUNG AND SONY and so on.. is not good ..many say this for other mobile brands to

Everyone gets a different experience with different companies.. and wherever you go there are just a limited number of experiences.. some of them might have not even used the mobile of a company and they start saying negative about a brand.. its generally your own personal experience that counts. All brands including one of the most known brand SONY is good.. i have used all brands and all were good in quality..

The best thing is to compare the specs.. go for a basic review of the handset by some good and reputed websites and select your mobile.

Well, I'm a bit of SE fanboy, still, SE's build quality is no where comparable to Nokia, at least. About failure rate, see this- when i had to buy a phone some 6 months ago, I found at least 10 persons in my whole "network" using SE, ALL of them reported BAD SERVICE, and hardware failure (especially displaying going kaput), no battery back up after prolong use, and hell lot of problems. My heart just wept

I have used lots of SE phones, so can say that only K series where upto mark, one of the best, especially K750i.

damnthenet · 28-10-2011, 12:48 AM

Got the phone after anxiously waiting for around 3 days after ordering!

Should say it was quick delivery (considering that they had mentioned 4-7 days). A person from Adexmart itself came and handed the mobile to my address (probably because I am in Chennai where Adexmart too is.). No courier service and no extra packaging!

Haven't used the mobile well enough to go for a review now. Will do a detailed review once I familiarize with my mobile. At the first look, I feel I have made a wise decision to buy this mobile

Sarath · 28-10-2011, 02:44 AM

^ Before the thread you can always leave feedback on online purchases on the thread below

rohit18rs · 30-10-2011, 06:29 PM

Got my phone on 28 Oct .. and have to say that this is one of the best phones from Sony.. scrolling is as smooth as butter..live wallpaper run as butter. camera is mediocore and the led flash is very good in dark areas.. the picture quality from the camera is good. after using camera 360.. it improved further.. so camera is good and hd video recording is also pretty good in quality.. display is the best as it can get.. the mobile bravia engine gives it the best and the brightest colours you can ask for.. .. Just a single speaker at the back of the phone.. BUT it is very loud and crisp.. one would never miss a call..

The Timescape UI make it easier for the user to manage the data and apps. phone is super smooth and gaming on it is awesome.. with best 3d graphics.. ran dead space ..nfs shift and asphalt 5 hd.. all ran smooth as butter..

Battery gave me problem on the first day.. lasting only 12 hours .. 3-4 calls.. 4 hours internet.. 1 hours music.. but after 2 more charges .. the battery life has improved .. today it has worked for the full day and still 38 % left.. hope it increases with 1-2 more charges

Overalll at this price.. this is a awesome deal ... best phone at this price. it has something for everyone and one of the best phone in the market

How can the camera be mediocre & give good picture quality. I dont understand these two together. Maybe I am missing something

Most of the ppl consider the pic quality good as it appears crisper in phone.

check out this site for service centers of sony ericsson in INDIA

Sony Ericsson Service

rohit18rs · 31-10-2011, 11:15 AM

The picture quality on the phone is very crisp on the phone due to the mobile bravia engine.. therefore the quality on the phone is awesome..

Also.. please don't take mediocore as a bad comment ..

As per me the photos when shifted from the phone to computer can be .. average.. good (mediocore) or excellent

On the phone the photos look absolutely fantastic.. Phtos taken in good light will also appear crisp on the computer , which is high quality .. but the low light picture are not excellent on the pc but good.. .. Overall the phone has a great camera and a very effective led flash ...
