Yari is more appealing for gaming users and some techies because of the latest gesture controlling. Apart from this the phone has a 5 MP camera, GPS, but the absence of wi-fi(still not confirmed because SE said it is DLNA certified but no mention in its specification) is a big drawback. The music doesn’t has the latest Clear Bass technology instead has the old Mega Bass. The UI is typical SE but modified. The phone is a good mixture of entertainment and browsing. But the screen is small because when playing gesture control games will the user will be able to see the 2.4 inches screen from a distance. Overall a very good phone for people whose main priority is gaming and a good phone for people taking the overall view. There has not been many complains with Sony Ericsson seeing their latest three upcoming phones. Practically this phone will not be able to achieve the success which Satio could achieve.
