Sony Decides Its Waterproof Xperia Phones Are Not Actually Waterproof

Mark Wilson writes: Sony seems determined on confusing its customers by giving very conflicting advice about its Xperia smartphones. If you're familiar with the range, you'll no doubt be aware of the advertising material that appears to show users taking photos in the rain and even (seemingly) underwater at the pool. Take a look at the picture above and you'd probably assume that a) it depicts someone shooting a video or taking a photo in a swimming pool, and b) you can do the same with your phone. But you'd be wrong (at least on b) because Sony has changed its mind about what waterproof means. Or it doesn't know. It really depends on where you look on the Sony website.

Maybe it's like one of those commercials where beer doesn't taste like piss and void the warranty on your liver, and instead is a delicious and refreshing beverage that causes hot chix to like you.
