Sony's Xperia TX is the company's first attempt in years to compete head on with Samsung and Apple. But is it a strong contender or just an ode to the company's successful cybershot and Arc...

In all, Sony's Xperia TX is a good phone that will capably handle your day to day needs. Sony's refined Android skin is not only the best looking (bar stock Android), it's also one of the most functional. And yet we can't get over the fact there's...
