First, here’s the good news.
We now have the offical SRP of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo and, just like the Arc, it’s priced lower than what we were expecting. It’ll retail for just Php22,750.00. Given that it shares almost identical specs with its slimmer big brother, the Xperia Arc, that’s a pretty good deal, and should be a great alternative for those for those who can’t (or don’t) want to spend 30 grand on a new phone.
Now, here’s the bad news.
It won’t be arriving next month. Contrary to what we’ve been told earlier, it‘s now scheduled for a May release. It’s not a major, major delay, but a delay nonetheless.
Anyway, for those who don’t have the EQ to wait that long and have the dough to splurge on a new handset, there’s the Xperia Arc you can look forward to in April, which should hit stores within the first week of the month.

I haven’t checked but, what is Sony’s track record on releasing Android updates?
@cake: Not so good. But I think they’ve already seen error of their ways.
.
They previously announced that the X10 won’t get upgraded past Android 2.1. They however backtracked on this and made a surprising announcement this month that it will now get a Gingerbread upgrade.
.
This, hopefully, is a sign they will be more diligent in rolling out Android updates for their handsets beginning this year.

Officially Support and Distribute SE Xperia Neo MT15a / MT15i
Greetings,
I just signed the following petition addressed to: Sony Ericsson Philippines / Nuvis Enterprises
http://www.nuvistech.com.
—————-
Officially Support and Distribute SE Xperia Neo MT15a / MT15i
Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo MT15a / MT15i http://tinyurl.com/6c96w5p already has an unofficial established user base
already in the hundreds as evidenced by unofficial sales http://tinyurl.com/3ukw4qc . This is important for Sony
Ericsson sales and marketing arm, since they already have a niche market. All we need is official support and
distribution so everyone can benefit, from the end user, the dealer, the distributor and eventually Sony Ericsson
Philippines, Inc., themselves.
Sincerely,
Tic Sy
