Does anybody have an idea when the XS will be available in the US?
I think that the ION is the big priority for the US market.
I could import the phone but I will be paying more than $600. Usually the prices in the US are lower than the
converted prices in EU because we do not pay VTA and the sales tax is a lot lower as well.

I would say the weight matches the size of the phone. Personally, I like it, it makes it feel "sturdy" somehow.
And yes, the notification LED on the top left corner is still present. The light strip on the bottom is really just a short-term notification (at least for the time being).
What do you mean with this? Devs will be able to play with it's lights? It would be freaking awesome to make a crazy color party. Some app to play with it, just like strobe on flashlight apps.
I don't get people. Never Have, never will. |

Don't think Sony has mentioned US at all for XS. Seems ION is for US and XS for the rest of the world. |

the sony logo on the box and on the phone look like a last minute decision.
couldn't they have used black sony letters on the white box ? didn't sony send logos with alpha channels ?
Not really. The Xperia S box is similar to the Tablet S Box. So I don't see how it was a last minute decision.

Preparing the video now. There are no smart tags in the box by the way, but as always: box content varies from market to market. Will also put this remark in the video, but I already hear the wining!

I can't, for this a new charger is necessary, that is currently not available. Also note that Sony never mentioned that feature anywhere in connection with the Xperia s

For anyone who maybe interested, Clove.co.uk are including 4 NFC tags with the handset at no extra cost.

Do you own any Sony product ? Just asking cuz if you did you would not say what you have been saying. The Xperia S box is similar to every other Sony product box.
And its pretty obvious the box was designed by Sony cuz SE used small boxes. This "big" box is a typical sony box with a typical Sony logo. Nothing funny or wrong with it. |
