Just perfect for the weather these days, the new Sony Ericsson Xperia Active is waterproof! Featuring Sony’s signature 3” Bravia Engine touchscreen, it promises stunning colors, the latest Android 2.3 operating system, 5MP camera with autofocus, FM radio and 3G compatibility. That makes it a great fit for active types who can still use the phone when you’re out running in the rain. Or lazy folk who like to talk in the shower.
