Why are my reviews not being shown here even after 2-3 days??

The Mobile price for this phone cannot be Rs. 32000 as it is selling in Middle East for about US$480. I haven't seen any flagship Sony Ericsson phone to be costing less than Rs. 40,000/- upon its release in Pakistan. Please check and correct this on your site.
Thanks

Been waiting for this mobile for ages...!!! Took SE forever to release this phone after it was announced way back in January 2011. Got my hands on the phone today here in a Hypermart in KSA Middle East. Couldn't turn the phone on as there was no battery in the models on the showcase. Physically i felt a bit wanting upon holding the phone. The body seemed too plasticky (if there is such a word)compared to what i was expecting out of a flagship "Pro" tagged phone. However the looks are quite deceptive (in a good way) and it does have an aura of a good build quality especially the ones in Black and Red. Silver one, not that much so compared to the other two colours. The slide out keyboard which would be the main selling point for this phone (to me atleast) seemed strudy and easier to type on compared to my old Xperia X1. The tactile feel and give on the keys seemed not much different though.
The phone has just come on shelves here and selling for US$480 which i think is a bit steep for now. Hopefully the price will come down in a few months. So should i stay or should i go now, thats the question!!!

An Android 2.3 smartphone with a physical keyboard and proper video-out support?

Despite having a slide-out physical keyboard, the Xperia Pro doesn't feel much thicker or heavier than other Android phones. The plastic build felt a bit flimsy, but we'd put that down to the pre-production nature of the particular phone we were using. The slide-out mechanism itself feels better-designed as well as less fussy than the slide-out keyboards on HTC Android and Windows Phone 7 handsets we've seen.

The keyboard itself had a remarkable amount of travel for a smartphone keyboard. If you're used to a numeric keypad or touchscreen keyboard, then using the Xperia Pro's keyboard will take getting used to.

The 3.7in screen has a resolution of 854x480 pixels and looks bright too. There's a micro HDMI port so you can connect the phone to a high definition TV, projector or monitor. Unlike other smartphones we've seen, this video output features works with any app, including the web browser and the preinstalled Office Suite Pro app. It could therefore be used in place of a laptop to give presentations or even as cheap and cheerful digital signage.

Android 2.3 is preinstalled, but Sony Ericsson has also overlaid its own Timescape user interface on top.The app drawer can be sorted, showing your most frequently used apps or recently installed apps for example, which app hoarders will appreciate. Using the standard pinch-to-zoom out gesture on the home screen shows you a MacOS X Expose-style overview of all your home screen widgets.

Sony Ericsson claims its Exmor R technology enables the 8.1 megapixel camera to take better quality photos in dimly lit conditions that would outfox lesser smartphone cameras. In our brief tests, although the Xperia Pro's camera did indeed produce sharper, more evenly lit pictures than an iPhone 4, images still looked very grainy which tends to be a problem for smartphone cameras in dark environments.
