9 months after the announcement and still not released?! That'll beat even Xperia Pro's record! But... DAT PRICE!
It has been out since mid August here in scandinavia and can be found for around 468 EUR.

Got my xperia ion hspa version for $427 (sim free). Only issue so far is battery drained very fast! Though it is a great solid phone.

Yeah, ICS was installed already... I didn't test the camera yet.

Thanks for the info bro! I am updating it at the moment via PCC.
I tried before to do that over WiFi but it says I have the latest version already...

i found the capacitive buttons little more responsive but the rest seems the same..
Changelog seems not available right now. I'm trying to google it, no luck.. hehe
Btw, how's your battery performance? Mine is draining so fast eventhough in standby mode.

I think it is same like before, but it is to early to say this.
I have reached three times max. 5,5h display on with the realease version. Played a lot, mostly surfing over wifi and also played music and videos...
The battery is better than my "old" Xperia S... but not better than the ARC.
Now I need time to test it after the new update. Haven't recharged it since yesterday... Thanks for your help! I'll keep U up to date!

Could you see how the battery life is on a separate full-charge with LTE turned off please (if that is possible)?
Solid device that should've had the now standard Android 3 buttons; the ONLY reason I'm getting a Moto RAZR HD vs the Ion on my target list.
