Glad to see more users popping up! Please put up a week or 2Week thoughts if you can. I'm still a month out to upgrade![]()
Awesome, great choice. Welcome to the Android side of life, buckwild.
Next decision is should I buy insurance from ATT on these phones or not. They want 6.99 a month per phone and 125 deductible. Pretty insane numbers there. Will be back with a review soon. Thanks to everyone who has helped. Hope I provide you guys some insight. Pete
Anyone who can, post some full resolution image and video samples. Also, can you do both 720p and 1080p with the camcorder? I usually just do 720 to save space on my storage and need to know if it's locked down to the highest setting like an iPhone, Lol. I might bring this Vivid back and get it tomorrow.
Paul-c, or anyone else with an ION, how's your Sony performing phone-wise? How's your signal reception? It's been so long since I used a SE device I can't remember what their reputation was for phone performance.
I am currently a Motorola Atrix user. Almost 2 years of persevering with this phone I am upgrading and this Sony has what I want in specs. The Atrix has taught me to look before I leap, it wasn't a bad phone but the issues are major. When I look on this board I see few complaints and no real issues, it makes me wonder if sales are slow or there really are no issues and no legitimate complaints. Anyone have any issues or find any major flaws?
Thanks everyone.
how do you guys feel about mixing and matching chargers on this phone. I have a pantech pursuit II that is being replaced tonight by the ION, and they have the same charging connector. I was hoping to use the Pantech charger as a work charger, am I stupid for thinking that or will I be ok? Also what about those no name car chargers that I have, is it ok to run this phone on one. Thanks
Sony Gives you a rapid charger with the phone, so unless you're away from a plug that's the only charger you should be using. It's probably 2x faster than most ordinary chargers.
Outside of that, you have to use what you have to use.
Just buy an extra Ion charger and carry it with you, and charge it when you get near a plug when possible. That's probably going to be better than gimping along with a car charger anyways. Car chargers are usually quite low mA output.
The stock Ion charger is 1500mA output. For comparison our Samsung Vibrant chargers are 850mA output and the LG chargers I have are 750mA output. I doubt many manufacturers are shipping chargers above 1000mA output in the box. Rapid chargers should, IMO, be the norm for large HD-screed LTE devices. Just my opinion.
Thanks N8ter. I am excited, I get off in a couple hours and my phones have been waiting for me at home. Then I have to transfer pics, ringtones and contacts to the new Ion's for both my wife and I. I am REALLY excited. Our Incipio Silicrylic cases should be here on friday sometime according to fedex. I hope all goes well with transfering the contacts tonight. The only way I know how to is to save to my old sim, put it in the new phone and save to phone, then pull out old sim and put new sim in new phone and save to new sim. Usually then I end up with double contacts or something else. Oh well, I cant wait. Pete
