Sony should remake this phone with modern features

and its very fragile. my dad bought it in late 2011. just a few months later into 2012 when i was 5, i kinda broke it. the screen was pitch black but the sound was still there. so, we sent it to a repair shop. i still remembered the technician said i...

i had this and it was a P.O.S. even at launch, the slide up controls was all it had going for it.
