    I hadn't heard about it, before, but googling seemed to suggest its in all the current SE phones. I guess you can get the apps and test it against something with the sensor.

    This video suggests that even older phones have it too.

    Thanks BostonB ,it wasn't clear to me that the xperia pro had it.

    I'm going to have to buy a heart rate monitor to use with the phone. I'm just not sure what software is available that uses the data. I downloaded that demo sample to my phone ,but I'd usually use a program called strava for recording stuff.

    As I don't have a heart rate monitor yet ,I wasn't sure if theres anything written that uses the ant+ information like strava.

    I might be better waiting for a bundle that might be released ,might be cheaper as a package.

    Maybe sports shops or places that sell garmin units etc, would have demo units you could try.
