But I also have to admit: I hate the non removable battery, and I hate
non physical buttons. This new trend is sh..t. Unlocking the phone with central button
is much more convinient.
Add to that that ICS removes all the apps menus from the button and
puts this on-screen under top right 3 dots shortcut what is idiotic and non logival
with TaskManager hard coded to menu button instead.
It makes future Android less usable and it pisses me off a bit.
Why designers always try to force improvement to something what is good!!!

Actually,same with my Arc S,why does Sony/SE not always do capacitive buttons?? I found it easier to use on the Ray than having to physically press the hard buttons. Makes things quicker. One or two of their phones have capacitive & the others physical. Non consistant  Look forward to seeing the HD screen in real life though

Well, that's not the case here. Take a look at this topic - http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/actionbar.html , especially the category "Action overflow" at the bottom part of the page. There they talk about the context menu, marked with the three dots.

I still love everything about this phone apart from having to unlock the phone by pressing the power button is annoying to say the least. At least with the Arc you didn't have that problem.

Yes on the Arc S aswell would have been easier power button on the side. Easier to reach one handed

I am actually used to the power button on my desire, so for me this shouldnt be an issue.. Although pressing the home key on the arc was more convenient for unlock.
@Rog,
Could you post a video on the UI, especially the music player? I have seen some of it and the music player looked really good!

Well, I'm not Rog, but this video might do the job:

@mediar,

I had a Desire and I never found it an issue as I could reach the power button with one hand, though with the Xperia S being slightly bigger it may prove to be more difficult.

Big thanks to Rog for all the photos.
Don't mean to sound negative, but the samples from what I presume is the production model don't look any better from the Arcs, the only improvement I can see is they seem to have put less saturation on the colours.
Obviously Sony are still sticking to their standard post processing software as found on the Arc. |

Are there no reviews yet? A bit surprising since there's only a few weeks left.
Currently NExus 4, but want Xperia ZR. |

2 to 3 weeks infact. I think we will start to see reviews filter through on GSM Arena, Tracy & Matt etc as soon as this week.

Software is still in polishing stage as far as I know, but overall performance is reasonably well by now....
They could push it to incredible level of performance, probably ~_~
Every single last drop from MSM8260 unlike earlier devices that floating around in the market.
