PLEASE HELP !!! ....I have bought this phone just 2 weeks ago... 
After sending my phone for the seconde time for repair (the first time, they didn't do anyting), I was happy to see that they replaced the screen. 
Now, the phone works normaly but I didn't have a phone for 31days. I even bought a phone 20€ :smileysilly:. So the conclusion of my experience is that it was a waste of time and i'm happy it's over. I hope the problem won't come back. One thing is sure, is that i will tell to friends and family to open this forum before buying a sony mobile. Every year or so I change phones and had only one phone that didn't work properly, but they replaced it with a new one. This is my first sony phone and my last one too.
The ICS update partially fixed the touchscreen problem but still there is a problem using the touchscreen. Before it was difficult to unlock the phone but now because of the Glove Mode feature I can use it now. There is still part of the screen the is hard to swipe, in my case it as the the left corner panel. I can't bring my phone to sony service center because I don't have my warranty. I bought my phone online. Buying new touchscreen LCD to replace my defective one is expensive so I just keep it that way.
