I just watched a few previews at YouTube and I'm spotting lags here and there... Especially when you go to the overview mode of the home screen. No matter how many widgets you have, two or ten, it always lags. That's not something that used to happen with the older Xperias.
This is not the final firmware anyway, they still have time to improve it. The kernel version in the older Xperias' firmware is 2.6.32 which has undergone a lot of development and received many updates, whereas the newer ones use a different kernel(2.6.35). I guess they are not optimized yet. |

looks slick to me.. i'd like to see more exploration of the timescape widgets. the music player looks nice but unfortunately i usually use google music... :/ might have to change that for my most listened to playlists...
just watched a few more vids on youtube... i love it more and more. confirmed, back of the S is plastic according to a video. overall the design is just so much sexier than the ion, especially in WHITE. it WILL be mine!

I prefer the white version. This MAY replace my Arc as my next phone. A bit disappointed that this device is made of plastic and when released comes only with 2.3.7

I fear battery life will be poor. The battery is not a massive increase and powering a HD screen and all that power under the hood. They should do what Motorola have managed to do on their new handset with a amassive 3330mAh battery or there abouts
Phone?? What phone?? |

No mention of Timescape at all in that UI video that I heard? Sweet if so! Good riddance to a phone destroying piece of crap.
Also, why have they retained the Sony Ericsson liquid identity on the back? I suspect this will have disappeared once the phone hits launch.

The transfer of SE to Sony is not completed, so some prototypes still have remains from SE. |

Because Xperia S supports WiDi and DLNA, I hope it supports controlling dedicated future Sony camera that supports WiDi and DLNA with live camera feed from the camera to the phone and live control from the phone to the camera...
something like this !!

Do you guys reckon the build quality of the Xperia S will be superior to that of the Arc having looked at some of the videos on youtube?

Is it just me or are the photos just unimpressive ? 
Too much of noise and they almost seem like Arc photos to me. Resolved Detail is also not exceptional.
