Actually, I stand corrected. The W900i could take a screen capture while playing back video. My bad.

In that case I don't know why the didn't just use the same wipe-clean material they used on the Arc / Play.
Because they use an active UV nano coting, which should be better. Just expose the phone to the sun (helps to dissolve dried in soil) and wipe. Beside as I said earlier, no one which has already bought the white one (which seems to be the most sold) have reported any kind of issues related to stains and dirt (we have even had a small poll about this in a Swedish forum). |

Davidsic, I'm glad to see you around and still in great shape
I'm prefer the image that display close to realistic condition but which one did a better job in this department
please give me answer, anyway my guess is GS2, because XS looks warmer image overall.
and what your opinion for both cameras (in brief is okay)
Thanks in advance.

Hmm full size pics would be appreciated. Since now the resolution is smaller than Xperia S display 
Anyway, it's hard to see much difference, but look at the pavement in second pic, Xperia S did much better job, You can see the texture of each 'stone', while SGS II blurred it. |

I thought people said that the S2 had a better camera?
I'm really stuck on which phone to get, I considered the 4S but the small screen is a deal breaker for me, just too small these days although I wouldn't want any bigger than 4.3" I don't think.
So it's between the S2 and the Xperia S, although I have to admit I am not keen on phones that don't have a dedicated camera button which only Sony's and Nokia's seem to have apart from the odd couple on other manufacturer's phones.
Really torn between the S2 and XS. |

I got an Xperia S and my girlfriend has an S2. While I appreciate the slimness of S2, I would never trade my phone for hers. |

X S. S2 sucks compared. It's also more choppy and slower, c'mon.

Had my S2 for 6 months and it was never choppy and slow, I still say it is a better deal due to the removable battery and expendable memory and the camera of the X S has a yellow tint

GS2 slow and choppy???   thats THE BIGGEST load of rubbish ive ever read...and ive read a lot of rubbish
GS2 seems to remain the benchmark in Android until the GS3 arrives. Every new Android has been compared to it and most seem either to fall short somewhere or it may lose by a slight margin, very impressive for a year old device.

Rather wait for GS3 to be announced before making a decision.

Exactly.
Sorry for my english but : in good light conditions xperia s make more "pleasant" pics , good details (but a bit grainy compression in full size) and yellow tint which gives more warmer colors.
The S2 is more colder colors but nice though and tends to overexpose a bit (exposure compensation is your friend).

Got my White Xperia S in Mumbai, India today for INR 30,999/-
Got the following included besides the charger:
1) Leather Case
2) HDMI cable
3) Car Charger
4) Headset
5) 2 NFC tags
6) Pre-applied Screen protector
7) 50 GB complementary free Cloud space on Box
Initial Impressions: Wow. Running firmware .62. No new firmware available yet here.
The Screen is terrific. On full brightness blows away other phones with excellent readability in sun. Zero Lag so far.
Installed a whole gamut of apps, switched back and forth between them and had no lags whatsover. The only thing that happened was that Skype Force closed a couple of times.
Configuring the Smart Tags was pretty simple.
All in All so far looks good. No yellow spot issues noted yet. Battery life shall be tested over the nest few days.
The sound and video details are crisp clear. The call volume is also pretty good.
Sony all the way |
