@rog: Do you know what will be on US box? And official price for there?
I know:
-Phone (off course)
-Headphones (the plug will be like Xperia Arc (to side) or X10 MP (straight up) way?) And size, do you know? Metric, please.
-USB Cable (Again, size? Metric).
AC adapter
-Manual and warranty stuff)
But, what I want to know is:
-Screen protector is included?
-Smal screen cleaner?^
-HDMI cable?
-NFC Smart Tags?
Again, for US stores.
Thanks, rog.

Nice box that from Sony.
Posted by rog
@smclion102: no idea about the logo...
@Felimenta97: I have no idea about the different box content across different markets, so sorry, can't comment on that
@hojurek: see above. I think that most markets will have 2 smart tags bundled with the phone, but again, that might differ.
Posted by Felimenta97
Ok, Thanks anyway, rog. But if you get an update, let us know, please.

Posted by jack00
the sony logo on the box and on the phone look like a last minute decision.
couldn't they have used black sony letters on the white box ? didn't sony send logos with alpha channels ?
Posted by back2you

It most probably was one
At least on the box. On the phone, it looks just fine, silver on black looks good [ This Message was edited by: rog on 2012-02-16 19:14 ]
Posted by rickster2kuk
Thought SE would go down the route of having a nice small box
.
Less than 3 weeks now till release.
@rog - how do you find the weight: the Xperia S will now be heavier than the iPhone 4S. Also I assume it still has the LED notification light - but I can't see this documented anywhere.
Posted by rog
I would say the weight matches the size of the phone. Personally, I like it, it makes it feel "sturdy" somehow.
And yes, the notification LED on the top left corner is still present. The light strip on the bottom is really just a short-term notification (at least for the time being).
Posted by DACHA
Does anybody have an idea when the XS will be available in the US?
I think that the ION is the big priority for the US market.
I could import the phone but I will be paying more than $600. Usually the prices in the US are lower than the
converted prices in EU because we do not pay VTA and the sales tax is a lot lower as well.

What do you mean with this? Devs will be able to play with it's lights? It would be freaking awesome to make a crazy color party. Some app to play with it, just like strobe on flashlight apps.

Don't think Sony has mentioned US at all for XS. Seems ION is for US and XS for the rest of the world.

clove is shipping to US and we don't need pay the tax for it. just check it

Not really. The Xperia S box is similar to the Tablet S Box. So I don't see how it was a last minute decision.

Posted by rog
Preparing the video now. There are no smart tags in the box by the way, but as always: box content varies from market to market. Will also put this remark in the video, but I already hear the wining!

I can't, for this a new charger is necessary, that is currently not available. Also note that Sony never mentioned that feature anywhere in connection with the Xperia s
Posted by dibdin
For anyone who maybe interested, Clove.co.uk are including 4 NFC tags with the handset at no extra cost.

Do you own any Sony product ? Just asking cuz if you did you would not say what you have been saying. The Xperia S box is similar to every other Sony product box.
And its pretty obvious the box was designed by Sony cuz SE used small boxes. This "big" box is a typical sony box with a typical Sony logo. Nothing funny or wrong with it.
Posted by rog
The box is not big, it is actually very flat, about 2.5 cm
Posted by dibdin
Who cares if the box is big or small, all I care about is the god damn phone.

i stopped buying sony products 5 years ago
but anyway
@ randomuser .... i was commenting the graphic design of the box - and it still looks wrong. even if sony is applying this style to all boxes won't make it look right.
Posted by Bonovox
That's what I think,who cares about the box
Posted by jack00
as a designer i'm probably more sensitive to such things
