got one just the other day

This explains why the Xperia Ray on Pay As You Go was £219 in the Virgin Media store.

Had been looking for something small for the belt clip for a long time to replace ancient Nokie s60 phone.

So I might have waited for the price to drop even more... but they'd be gone very likely.

Mind you, after struggling with the Xperia's weak podcast handling ability I am realising just how good the old Nokia was.
