Thanks Sam and Terabyte.
Moborobo is not Sony PC suite. Its a third party PC Suite for Android phones. Try it. You will like it for sure. Sony Companion suite is hopeless.
With NFC I wil tag my shirt or cup so that my bro. can't use it. he he
I would have at least got free voice navigation.

for getting "bored" with the Android!You definitely need to checkout that must have app thread, or just start to dig deep into the Google Play.
If you aren't already aware of the "There's an app for that" phrase (and I am guilty to have this copied from Apple's fanboyz) then you will get aware of it soon!
There's an endless number of games to play on Android for almost any genre you want. You want to send messages like SMS over internet try WhatsApp. You are lost in the woods and need directions, you have the Compass app, and Google map won't ever let you lost (I tried it today, and it's pretty neat, with the ability to even rotate maps with gestures. Futuristic huh? And you can't even rotate maps on maps.google.com on PC!)
You keychain fell down in the sand? Just detect it using Metal detector app. Have weak memory? Astrid task wont ever let you forget anything (if you try to have a habit to tell it what task you don't want you to forget that is). Have to find out the best place to watch movies.. and even book it? There's BookMyShow app for it. Lol.. I even recharge my mobile from my mobile using ICICI app (I think the first of the bank to provide, if I am not wrong).
The hell, you can even make your Android a web server and host your own website over it using kWS!
And you got "bored" with your Android!! With the 1 GHz Scorpion processor you can have more fun in games than I can do with just 600 MHz of my phone!
Believe me... I have just scratch the surface there are many more things you can do to have fun and/or make it resourceful. You are only limited by your imagination.
Happy discovering.
PS: I am sure you can get "Voice Navigation" app too... I just haven't explored it yet to suggest an app, when I have Google maps and Endomondo.
Btw... time for some reality check:

Yeah ...there will be always something to do with your android phone
..Just start visiting other forums like XDA and you will sure get more ideas. Even lifehacker has many wonderful articles explaining the vast possibilities of android.
BTW i found Any.DO to be more useful than Astrid task. Cool minimalist interface and it even pops up reminder notification onto the home screen with all required options in a bubble form. I found Astrid task just showing a notification in the pull down notification bar. And you have to go to the application from there to mark the task as done. But I like the way Astrid task makes you complete the task with kinda funny advices/ suggestions.
And from that picture
I have never found any android users yet discussing about their devices. Though I have seen people with nokia users brag about their devices.

Anybody who has Xperia P phone, please give response to me.
Well, Astrid tasks does show notifications about the task on full screen, where you can mark it complete or snooze. I think you maybe talking about the old version. Also, lately it has added more features. One of them includes the reminder of missed call! Says something like that, "Won't you feel nice to give them a call back?"

The next time you meet someone with Android, strike a conversation yourself!

I use both Astrid Tasks and Any Do. However I didn't see the above options you mention about Astrid like missed call reminder and Full Screen reminder.Well, Astrid tasks does show notifications about the task on full screen, where you can mark it complete or snooze.

^^ yeah, confirmed. Astrid task give the reminder in notification first, and when acknowledged gives you the reminder on full screen. My bad.
But as for the Missed call alert is concerned, here's how it does that:
