Now that we almost know what the hardware is going to be, subject to a surprise from Sony, what about the software? I am actually looking forward to see the new 2013 UI and what it brings on the table in terms of functionality. A new timescape, more beautiful interface, what else? Any info on the UI?

Not really different. New lockscreen and slightly modified homescreen. |

New Samsung rumors indicate s IV could potentially get a solid punch in the face by Yuga 
It doesn't have 3GB RAM but 2GB like Yuga, is much thicker, same ugly design as S3, Pentile 1080p screen (Super Amoled), Android 4.2 with Samsung Toucwiz 
As for Cortex A15 vs Krait discussion, let me remind you guys about Scorpion architecture. Xperia S used MSM8260 which had two scorpion cores vs Galaxy S2 which had two Cortex A9 cores. Even though MSM8260 didn't have "true" Cortex A9 architecture it was more than a match for true Cortex A9 architecture.
Similarly Xperia Arc had 1ghz single scorpion core vs Samsung Galaxy S Cortex A9 1ghz hummingbird. But Arc actually outperformed Galaxy S.
So I don't see how suddenly Samsung's "true Cortex A15 quad/Nvidia Tegra 4 Cortex A15 x4 cores can significantly outperform 4x krait cores. 
So personally I see no reason how SIV Cortex A15x4 should be much faster than Xperia Z's Krait x 4 cores. Also not to mention, Sony optimizes the hardware much better than other manufacturers like HTC and LG.

I have tried both of them
Sola: better design (my opinion ), cool floating touch features
Go: believe me, this will be the best thing for you to show off with your friends )
Imagine while drinking beer will your friends, you put your phone into a cup of beer to wash it )
or while swimming and taking pic .....
I can say that both device are nice, so its up to you to choose the correct one

yeahh i know, those were the questions... SOLA is beautifull and bigger screen, but GO will have jelly bean and have those water resistent bennefits ... tough choice...
Put the phone in a cup of beer? i imagine all my friend licking it 
any news about C210X/C360X hardware or design (besides what appears in benchmarks)?
for example, the 2013 phones will be like 2012 almost with the same design (S, P, U)?

Take it as a pinch of salts guys
WP8 Xperia
I got this from Sonyviet )
http://sonyviet.vn/2012/12/ti[....]-ram-2gb-chay-windows-phone-8/
but the original from a chinese site
http://tech.ifeng.com/telecom/detail_2012_11/07/18930671_0.shtml
Specs (Xperia W??):
4.8 inch Screen with HD display 1366*768px (not 1280x720??)
Snapdragon Pro S4
RAM 2GB, ROM 16GB (no idea about Micro SD card)
and..... 16 mpx cam with Xeon flash (sound like a H2 device to me, IF this rumor is TRUE )
2,500 mah battery with NFC
MAN.... if this one is true, i can just say good bye to Nokia and buy this "rumor" Xperia W together with Yuga
720p screen is not what I expect for WP8.... cuz of M$ =.= y don't they just support 1080p in the first place?
I doubt this is true though
