Xperia Play back on O2, now at £200

bic — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 21:32:53 +0000

O2 recently dropped the price of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play in the UK down to a rather ridiculously low price of just £149.99 with no top up needed, free delivery and a choice of either the black Xperia Play or the white model, which was exclusive to O2 in the UK.

For those who didn’t take advantage of this offer, it initially looked like you may have missed your chance with O2, as the handset was removed from the O2 website. An O2 rep couldn’t divulge more information, other than it was no longer available. An unknown source however, indicated that O2 were discontinuing the handset, along with the Xperia Arc and Neo. Earlier today, this certainly looked like the case. Neither of the three handsets were available through O2, on pay as you go or pay monthly.

However, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play has now reappeared on the O2 website. Unfortunately the price is not as tempting as it was a few weeks ago. O2 now have the Xperia Play in white only but, with a price tag of £199.99. It also appears that O2 are also selling the Xperia Play with an 8GB memory card, instead of the 16GB one that is normally included with the handset.

With regards to the Xperia Arc and Xperia Neo, it appears that O2 have replaced the Arc with the Arc S and will, presumably at some point, replace the Xperia Neo with the Neo V, despite the revised Neo handset having lower specifications than the original Neo. The Neo V comes with a 5 megapixel camera like the Xperia Play, compared to the 8 megapixel camera found on the original Xperia Neo and Xperia Arc.

Refurbished X10 Mini priced at £59.90 from online retailer

bic — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 13:56:12 +0000

There’s been quite a few price drops on Sony Ericsson handsets lately and here’s another one that’s just come through. While this handset isn’t new, it is refurbished and sold by a trustable UK online retailer. Mobiles.co.uk state that the refurbished handsets are units that have been returned under their 7 day returns policy and have been fully tested and inspected and also come with a full 12 month warranty.

Mobiles are selling refurbished Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini’s for £49.90 on O2, Vodafone and Orange. A £10 top up is required however, taking the overall price for £59.90 with free delivery. Which ever network you choose though, the phone will be unlocked.

The Xperia X10 Mini still retails for other £100 new at other retailers and even with a smaller screen size than the Xperia X8, which we’ve recently seen drop in price, the X10 Mini does have a substantially better camera. The X10 Mini is equipped with a 5 megapixel camera and has flash.

This is last years X10 Mini model, so will not be updated past Android 2.1 which, should be on the phone already. The X10 Mini has removable back covers but, Mobiles say that refurbished handsets might not come with all the accessories, in this case the other replacement back covers. Replacement backs are available on eBay though so you can pick the color of your choice. Another thing to note about this handset, is unlike the other Xperia handsets and the majority of other phones on the market, the X10 Mini does not have a removable battery.

While Sony Ericsson’s budget Xperia smartphone may not be to everyone’s liking, for those new to the world of Android and/or those on a budget, the Xperia X8 steps up to the mark.

Previously the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 was on sale for around £100 but, now O2 have dropped the price of the handset down to £79.99 for either the black model or white model. A minimum top up is not required and delivery is free. O2 are also offering customers a £20 gift voucher with the Xperia X8, as they are with the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro.

O2 to release 2.3 for X10 next week

oz — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 23:06:05 +0000

It’s been a while since Sony Ericsson released Android 2.3.3 for the Xperia X10 and for a while there, we thought we’d never see it. In the UK the Android update has been rolled out to generic unbranded handsets and network branded handsets, except for O2 branded ones. O2 were always quite slow with the uptake of the Xperia X10 updates but, none the less they have confirmed that their Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 owners will be getting Android 2.3.3, aka Gingerbread on their devices.

O2 state that they had problems while testing the software on the phones and found the update caused problems with the camera. They have worked with Sony Ericsson to resolve this issue and go on to say that the update will be released via the Sony Ericsson PC Companion in a week. They do however warn that as the X10 was only really meant to work with Android 2.2 so, if you do update to Android 2.3, the X10 may run slower than you’re used to and advise that you should be sure about updating as it’s an irreversible action. Currently the O2 branded Xperia X10s are running Android 2.1.

Xperia Mini Pro released on O2 at a bargain price

oz — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 09:36:59 +0000

O2 UK have now launched the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro and we’ve previously seen the handset on sale for £200+. O2 however have the Xperia Mini Pro listed at an outstanding price of £129.99. That includes free delivery and a top up isn’t required. O2 are also offering a free £20 gift voucher with the phone for either Argos, Amazon, Boots, Pizza Hut or Next.

Other retailers, such as the Carphone Warehouse still have the Xperia Mini Pro listed at £200 onwards. Their O2 model is priced at £249.95 and a £10 top up is required. It is possible that O2 may have mispriced the handset considering the prices other retailers are charging for this years Xperia Mini Pro handset.

Buy the Xperia Mini Pro at O2.

Deal of the Day: Xperia X10 Mini

oz — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 19:51:11 +0000

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini may be last year’s phone but, it still remains a good choice for those looking for a budget range Android phone. The Xperia X10 Mini usually retails for £119 through O2 and other retailers but, a bargain has been spotted on Argos’ outlet store on eBay.

They are currently selling Xperia X10 Mini’s for just £79.99 with £3.99 postage. In comparison, Argos are selling sim free X10 Mini’s for £234.99. There are currently more than 10 available through the Argos eBay outlet store with 29 sold. How many more than 10 are available though is unknown so if this deal appears, you’d best be quick. They previously had Xperia X8 handsets on O2 for a reasonable £69.99, compared to the usual £99.99 price point but, quickly sold out and only had 16 units in stock.

bic — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 16:15:56 +0000

Not so long ago, we reported that the Xperia Play had dropped in price down to £200.

It also appears that both color models are in stock.
