And would it not wear out over time??
Well, its not just an ordinary painting. Its made of nano technolgy, which I believe should be pretty sturdy.

The Phone Arena review says the anti stain coating never worked.
The coating is UV active i.e. you have to expose it for UV light (such as sun rays) to loose up dried soil as I understand it. This is high tech you know, not just simple paint.  ).
Yet another review.

I think your problem is you won't amids that the picture from Xperia S look better than that from N8 
The picture form the N8 looks not real color, the picture fom the Xperia S has better real color and sharper than N8
Nope. That's what you want me to admit. But I still think the n8 is better & does take better pics than that shown. Goodnight

N8 photo looks like crap compared to XS.
Especially when you look at it normally/fullscreen.
N8 is washed & unreal.

http://www.buymobilephones.net are doing the Xperia S for 21.50 per month on O2. Had an email from them this morning saying the Xperia S is here!!
Don't buy from buymobilephones.net - I saw the email about them having it in stock, so ordered on the website. It said available but yet I've just had an email saying they'll contact me in 10-15days when it's in stock. Shysters.
to be fair it does say when you order it expected arrival 6 march i think when they meant its here they meant come and look at it on our page

The N8 does indeed take better pics overall, in most situationst it blows the XS out the water despite being almost 2years older, no point in comparing them though, the N8's successor has arrived (808 PureView), thats what XS should be compared to, why arent we seeing comparisons of that? Guess its obvious which would win and it aint the XS.
Good that Sony are releasing XS now as it is already outdated when compared to its competition.

Hi.
I'm afraid to say I haven't got much time to properly test the Xperia S. I'm trying to get some time and record a video so you can see how really good the screen is, and if there really is an issue with the 3 screen buttons.
For the time now, here you have 3 photo samples I took yesterday with the quick load and shoot camera option. Considering my previous phone, I think they are really good.
As for the music player, I have found it quite simple, and a little boring. (My previous phone was a Samsung Wave, it has BADA Os and I think the music player its much better). The music quality I think it's pretty much the same as any other phone. It will depen on the earphone you use (In my opinion).
About the touch buttons on the bottom, I haven't got anyproblem with them. You have to get use to touch the white dots, instead of the cristal icons on the transparent antena. You have to use the base of your finger, not the nails, and with a little preassure they work fine. At least for me.
Will keep testing the phone and sharing my opinions with all you.
Laters...

Pureview is amazing but it's on Symbian - it's like have a quad core VCR player in todays age.
Regarding specs, I'll say it again, only the geeks care about whether it has S3 or S4 or Adreno so and so, the average consumer doesn't care, they just want a fast, fluid experience, and a device that looks good.

They only said they FELT that way but are not sure. PhoneArena stated in call volume is loud and clear on both sides and noise cancellation works like a charm as well. |

Call quality with the Xperia S is very good, with loud and clear voices in the earpiece on our end, while the other side said we sounded very clean, with strong volume, and the noise-canceling mics managed to weed out the ambient sounds while we were talking.
http://forum2.mobile-review.c[....]6-I-got-my-Xperia-S-yesterday.
Speaker is very loud, after taking my first phone call with Xperia S I thought it was at maximum volume and it turns out to be only at 60%, I had to turn it at 50% now. Headset volume is clear and loud, I checked the default setting. It was only at about 70% and I have already felt enough.
