So said, waterproof...

My Xperia, with the sides closed, 'cause there's really no reason to keep then open, except when charging, felt on the water, on a pool, like 1mt underwater and 10 seconds. Then it won't turn on again.

So i looked on the forum and found the procedure of leaving it 24 hours on a rice bowl to remove the moisture, it worked and it turned on again.

My first point is, this thing should be waterproof, so why i had to do this?

Ok, so when i try to go online the wifi doesn't find any network, and my 3G is not working either, along with screen rotation ( probably accelerometer or gyroscope are gone to ), so, i have the most expansive paper weight ever!

I live in Brazil, i've paid for my Xperia the equivalent to US$800!!!!

Reading the forum too, i've noticed that sony likes to blame their users, well, i'm not one of them anymore if you don't try and fix this, and mark my word, i'll go crazy on YouTube, as much as i need for my complaint on Sony to go VIRAL! I'll smash my xperia and eat it if i need to!

Sony, you were so good on the Playstation 1 times... WHAT HAPPENED?

Btw, this is my only phone, for personal and business use, so i'm messed.
