Just did a Quadrant comparison of Arc, Ray and Mini Pro (1417, 1403 and 1571).
Overall, the speed and responsiveness is almost equal, but in real world, the Mini/Mini Pro feels far better than the others.

Its a LED flash as on any other Android phone. If you are looking for Xenon flash, then better buy a dumbphone or a symbian phone (seems they are the only one using Xenon flash nowdays for unknown reason).

Man, my describe is when it turn out as Photo Light (same as X10) you have to turn it on/off manually not automatically same one as Arc and that's my LED-Flash.

Sony Ericsson Xperia ray shipments have started

just had a look at a friend's xperia ray which was bought online from asia...it is a great sized phone, excellent screen, feels great in the hand and very light. Excellent build quality and overall just a great looking phone that was very zippy and lag-free as well. The only things I noticed was I really miss a dedicated camera button although I know a lot of people think its unnecessary and the flash on the camera is a photo light like the x10, not an actual flash like the arc which is a shame. Having said that though, the camera still produced excellent photos with the exmor sensor, much better than my mini pro. This definitely is a great phone to use if you think the arc is a bit too big. Otherwise, I still think the arc is a better phone overall and still the best looking phone out there.

Have you seen the quality of photos with the camera on a pc yet??

Hi everyone,
I have a question for those luckly ones that could hold the phone
How is the screen size compared to X10.
X10 has 4.0" screen which is quite enough
iPhone 4 has 3.4" screen which seems fine as well
I really wonder will 3.3" be enough?
I think it will but would like to hear from you guys too.
Cheers.

Must be you or the video or both, beacuse Swedish users are reporting the color rendering and the screen in general to be excelent.

His recording device not quite adequate, and he told that the Ray's screen is absolutely fabulous at direct angle in Thai
Actually, this is HK model, due to the Ray not see the light of official in Thailand at this time, it shipped with 3rd party trader.
The box ships with standard equipments which included of earbud headset but he didn't mention about memory card capacity.

Norwegian review(mobili.no) complains about an unresponsiv screen
Posted by massimax
Unresponsive screen? Bullshit. I've been using this phone for a whole week (Italy) and the screen is simply amazing. Brightest and sharpest than the Arc's one and responsive as usual. It comes out of the box with a shity thick screen protection film already applied but you should remove it: it's VERY bad quality and maybe it could the cause of low touch sensibility

Read same thing in the review at swedroid.se. But so far I have not seen any regular user make such complains. On the contrary the screen is perceived as very responive by regular users.

as I said, I think that a little bit of unresponsiveness could come from the ATROCIOUS display protection film which is already applied out-of-the-box (the same as X10, Arc or Neo) and is quite hard to see (if you don't know it's there, you'll never try to remove it). It's VERY thick and rigid and my suggestion is to get rid of it even before you put the battery inside your phone
PS look at the picture below: it's unbelievable seeing this phone is so thin, light and compact, yet it manages to pack a beast of cpu; a full fledged OS; a 8mpx camera with HD video recording; the best display I've ever seen (lightness and sharpness are on par with Apple's Retina Display) and premium design and material (mineral glass screen, metal bezel and soft-touch plastick back)

Hey Bonovox, the screen of the ray is fantastic. As tempted as I am with the arc S, the ray's screen has sold me on it.

Both Phones are priced almost the same right? Arc S and Ray
If Ray was released earlier i would have bought that instead of Arc, but if I am going to buy this month, My biggest Dilema
Arc S or Ray?
Posted by idumbakumar
How come both will be same price..?? Arc s certainly will cost at least £110 more than ray.. Of course more than original arc too.
Posted by massimax
Here in Italy Ray costs 299€, Neo 349€ and Arc 499€. NO WAY Arc S will costs as much as Ray. It will be more than 349€ FOR SURE and by the time it will be released, Ray price will eventually be lowered

I think Ray looks a bit more classy with this pitch black front.

Nice pics. It's definitely the best looking Xperia along with the arc.

where in Italy is it selling for 299?
Im currently on holiday in Italy... So I can pick one up while im here, then claim the 20% tax back when I leave the EU! Making the total 240... Not bad I say
Hopefully that price is for a sim free phone though....

Are camera photos any better than the Neo?? Neo was average

299 sim free, of course
It's rather hard to find, though. I bought it at Fnac but there are few stores (only Milano, Verona, Napoli, Firenze, Torino, Genova). You can try at Mediaworld and Unieuro (it's choke full of these stores all over the country) but not all their stores sell it yet

I see some of you already have it,(most)beautiful phone ... and how is it ?
does the screen work well?
any battery problems?
Posted by NoroBiik
That's pretty impressive - the T70 is a *very* slim phone & to have an Android phone you can just slip into your shirt pocket just as easily is a big thing.
[*edit* I just watched the Ray youtube video by techgospel & I can confidently say that the Ray is the Android successor of the T70. Same ease in handling the unit with one hand on of the reasons I loved the T70]

I already dubbed the Ray as my mom w350's successor because it small & slim size.

Techradar's review of Ray
http://www.techradar.com/news[....]csson-xperia-ray-review-979407
Posted by Bonovox
I seen the Ray in Carphone Warehouse for £249
Posted by s1ddo
Yes, I saw this last week but was told it is not on PAYG then and it was a printing error which seems a recurring theme with Carphone Warehouse as there were errors with the Mini and Min pro prices last month and seems to be carrying on this month too as the website says you can get them for £149/199 on PAYG but the September price list booklet says they are £199/249. The website doesn't have the ray on PAYG so I assume that what I was told was correct but will check tomorrow when I go into Leicester as if not on PAYG why are they advertising it as being available? which would be a shame as the advertised price is £50 cheaper than O2's price.
Posted by mr_lou
Bought the Ray today, and I'm deeply disappointed to learn that it has the same low crap audio in video-recordings as Neo does!!!!!
Arc is MUCH better, but too big for me.
I can't believe it's impossible to get what I want. Small size, good video-recording with good audio.
So yet again I'm staying with my Aino, which doesn't have the high resolution, but has good audio in the video-recordings.
