Bravia was mentioned in the product details but now its more like XPERIA is the main thing for mobile phone and Bravia is just something to enchance it.
its not the same approach for SE in their Japan line up which will focus...BRAVIA and seldom or non XPERIA being highlight except for X10 |

What I'm afraid of is the possibility of cracks and in the worst scenario, breaking it.

Music Player looks pretty nice, here's for an Equaliser and Gapless Playback (I think an Equaliser has to be in it as the standard Google Music Player has one in Gingerbread, therefore any replacements have to incorporate the same features) |

Simply wow. As much as i think this phone is amazing i'm afraid that our love cannot be  The reason being that my carrier T-Mobile USA requires the 1700/2100 frequencies for 3G and they're nowhere to be mentioned in the press release.  |

Bloody amazing. Amazing design and having the latest Android version will shut a lot of whingers and moaners up PLUS available in Q1 - in the next 12 weeks?
I can't wait to get my hands on one, I'm so excited I could burst
Seriously, it's the best looking phone out there.
