Bought mine on 10/10/2013 and started breaking down 0n 11/7/2013. The ear piece is so poor quality you cannot hear clearly when driving, freezes very often when performing basic tasks like scrolling down for contact names, In addition its designed to withstand hard impact but mine only had its screen shuttered just from falling from my lap.The battrey runs out very quickly even without using it extensively.
I contacted Sony and even sent my phone to them they said they could not fix it due to 'Quality policy"
I was very dissapointed and stil am .
