[IamBrightflame]

I'll be receiving my Xperia Ray by the 23rd of Sept. Wooohhhh I can't wait, I am so excited. I'll let you know guys what it's like to use the Ray.

 

[toypitz]

okay yan brod. bibili din ako sa katapusan ng sept..sana sana...inip na ko

 

[IamBrightflame]

tama ito pinaka the best na nakita kong phone so far. tama lang laki nya at astig ng specs. kayang pataubin mga ibang high end phones...4 days to go may ray na ako haha..18.5k lang. pre san mu plan bumili kasi wala pa sa malls ang ray.

 

[litemint]

@bright, saan ka nakabili ng 18K lang?

dito mga 20K+ pa eh.wahu.. Sony World kasi eh.

 

[toypitz]

d2 ko sa ibang bansa.. wala pa pala sa pinas nian? masyado kasi malaki ung arc, yang ray sakto lang..tsaka astig ang specs.memory nalang ang kailangang idagdag..mas mabilis ang samsung S2,mas maganda ang features ng iphone4.. pero the best ang ericson sa pagiging unique. konti lang naman ang lamang nila pero ang laki ng diperensya ng presyo.

 

[IamBrightflame]

tama ka diyan toypitz. parehong pareho tayo ng nagustuhan sa ray. madami na seller ng xray dito pinas kaya nga lang eh d pa officially released ng SE kaya wala shop warranty pero ung nabilhan ko naman kc friend ko eh may 1 year service warranty kaya pag nasira o may defect sila bahala umayos free of charge.

EDIT

litemint san ba location mo? i can get you one for 18.5k only original from singapore. Openline na at kung ako kukuha may 1 yr service warranty unlike others, 3 days to 1 month lang service warranty. Just pm me.

EDIT

toypitz nga pala may kasama nang 4GB sa box yan. tingin ko ok na sakin ung 4GB pero kung hardcore user ka eh kukulangin talaga yan. buy ka nalang 32GB. tsaka guys nga pala useless ang shop warranty kasi mavovoid lang siya once you root/flash your device. eh balak ko iroot sa akin. haha

 

[litemint]

sa saudi po, sadyang mahal kasi yung shop na yan, dealer mismo ng sony.
Saka na lang siguro kapag bumaba ang price nya, padispose ko muna tong X10.

 

[IamBrightflame]

diba mas mura dapat sa saudi? hehe. try mo order sa HK or SG.

 

[toypitz]

sakin okay na 8gig,kulang kasi talaga ang 4gig..matagal kasi maglipat mag files kapag hindi kaagad pinalitan ung memory..tsaka tama ka mas maganda talaga kapag rooted, hindi naman importante ang warranty e,dahil ang sony mataas ang quality...

 

[IamBrightflame]

may alam ako international forum site na nakapag root na sila ng xperia ray eh. andun na din mga steps. d ko lang kasi alam pano sisimulan. tulungan tayo mga xray users. tama very high quality mga se phones kaya di mo na kelangan iconsider ang warranty kung bibili ka. hehe

 

[toypitz]

ang alam ko pareho lang ang pagroot ng lahat ng xperia e,basta ang importante may copy ka ng mga files mu para mairestore mo ulit ung mga nawalang files kapag may bagong update ng firmware..

 

[IamBrightflame]

tama halos pareho steps sa pagroot pero may little difference lang siguro. nakita ko sa xda-developers kung paano yung pagroot pero natatakot ako. international kasi yun. siguro pag nakapagroot na ng ray dito tsaka ako papaturo. may kilala ka ba? may magaling bang magroot dito.

 

[toypitz]

.,madami hanap ka sa x10 users.,madami magaling dun baka makakita ka din ng iba pang link

 

[IamBrightflame]

may ray ka na ba pre o nakapag order ka na? officially released na pala dito sa pinas ang ray ngayon ngayon araw na to lang. buy ka na mura lang siya 16.2k nakita ko.

 

[toypitz]

ano pre kamusta na xray mo?...sabihin mo naman ang advantage at disadvantage?

 

[juantamad20]

up ko lang 2

 

[kryst abegnalie]

@IamBrightflame
ok ba yung xperia ray? pinagpipilian ko kasi kung Ray or yung Arc, yung ray kasi mura pero maliit, pero yung arc, malaki kaya lang mahal, hehehe, anyways nakahawak ako nun sa Jump centre sa megamall, ayus naman siya kumuha ng pics, hehehe, though maliit nga talaga screen niya for sms typing

about rooting ng android, same same lang naman yan at hindi ka naman mabibrick agad sa pagroroot, at pwde mo naman irestore since nasa pc suite naman yung need mo nun kapag nagkaaberya

 

[litemint]

Yup, kahit ang X10, mabrick man, o magkaaberya during flashing, pwede mo itong marevert/iflash back sa dati. Check this out
