After playing with an Xperia S for 30 minutes from a friend of mine. My conclusion is.................it hardly feels much different from Arc S imo. Just does not feel that much faster or anything new really  Bit underwhelming
Phone?? What phone?? |

It's an illusion.
After one day head to head the difference is immense.
Arc was not a crap either, right? But the difference is in the workflow. Big difference.

Two things Bono - screen and speed - those things in themselves are a massive improvement on the Arc. |

what did you do with the XS for 30mins?
Did you try Web Browsing?
Did you try Playing HD Games? like Shadowrun, Modern Combat 3, GTA III
Did you try the Fast Capture of the Camera and 1080p Video Recording Quality?
Did you try Looking Really Closely to the Screen? and see the Difference of HD screen vs Non HD Screen
Did you try Watching Video with 1280x720 HD? resolution
Did you try Shutting it down and Starting it up?
Did you try the Fast Charging Capability and how was it?
How about the Anti Stain Shell?
I bet in that 30mins you just looked at Xperia S Built and Design, Screen, Camera, Led Strip etc, and took a quick tour in Settings, Homescreen, App Drawer and some Widgets and maybe tried some installed apps.
30mins actually is not enough to do all of those things I listed above and I am wondering how you came up with a conclusion of "it hardly feels much different from Arc S imo" but IMO you haven't tried those Obvious Things that are Massive improvement over the Arc/ArcS.
Maybe on the Software side it's almost the same, but hey, 4.0.3 is also coming to Xperia S and it will be better than Arc/ArcS because of Dual-core and RAM

You can't really know the device in 30mins if it's owned by somebody.
C'mon why do we discuss this bull..shit here.

For this you seem to need the charger EP850 from what I have read. The one that comes with XS on most markets is EP800, which does not deliver enough current to be able to fast charge. Fast charge does not work with PC USB since it does not give enough current for this.

Yes I got this EP850 charger and it's really so fast.

I'm so jealous of you guys. I can't upgrade until mid-June but the white XS looks a good prospect. How impressed are you guys by the camera?

I have had both phones and my experience is that the S2 is the better one

I was going to buy the white one m8 but changed my mind last min because it attracts stains. It's kinda like white sneakers not staying white 
Had the plastic been glossy like on the Arc S I would have said go for the white one but now unless you have super clean hands go for the black one it's really good looking irl.
Having said that, if you are up to the task of keeping it clean then go for the white one (I'm way to lazy for that )

I have no qualms with keeping things clean. I like to be able to see how dirty and grotty my phone is before I put it to my ear - to be able to see the grime.
When you consider that you might travel on public transport for a good part of the day, sharing handles and escalators with people who don't even wash their hands when using a lavatory, it hardly bears imagining the germs your phone might be carrying around.
I think I'll go for the white version  . Doesn't the white version have some sort of ant-stain coating anyway?
I have a white Xperia PLAY right now and it's always spotlessly clean.

As I said, different materials are used on the Arc and the S. Also I never touch handles, escalators public computers or use public toilets. I have to be falling on my face to grab on to a handle on the subway and then I run and wash my hands instead of biting my nails and picking on my eyes  Aaaanyways way to much info there about me, go for the white one if you want but be sure to first go look at it (no dummy) at a store and see for your self what sort of stains it attracts and if you like it or not. |
