Just received my Xperia S 
I'll be especially looking forward to your review comparisons; since you've used the iPhone 4/4S.

Hmm..
I think build quality is very very good. I have no idea what Engadget means really.
The buttons - well, I basically hate capactive buttons so I will not defend them.
I'm happy there is no way to accidentally press them but maybe they should be more responsive.
As for the camera:
moaning about compression, but than they post iPhone's 4 photo which looks like sh..t both in sharpness and colour.
And Xperia shot which looks real, and they moan about one aspect. I really couldn't care less.
And now, I am happy to see their great batt life. I hope I will get it too. I suppose my current
usage pattern doesn't help it.

Samsung have confirmed ICS for 10 Mar (global) on SGS2, HTC have also confirmed ICS now for Sensation and Sensation XE (nordic).
Sony, pull your finger out or you will get left behind!

For better and lesser noise, again, urn OFF stabilizer. Also, on the camera menu on the left panels you can press and hold to delete away the unwanted short cuts and change to your desired short cut. And the screen is really GORGEOUS!~ Its VERY difficult to see the pixels. |

@borg_
Congratz on your new toy / gadget / best friend It looks huuuuge next your iPhone, which I guess is pretty average sized for a smartphone anyway. The screen sounds amazing, I'll be going into the Three store to size one up tomorrow.

Been using it for a week now, what I found that the UI is the best in consistancy throughout every droids I have used. Love the new lockscreen notification, the new slide to message just works, with style!. I could say now that other than the battery life, it beats the 4S in every way. There is a slight problem with the screen. When you apply the protector on the screen, the transparent bar will be lower than the main screen, this would make it a bit akward if you touch the sides.
I found that the sound when connected to the headphones is quite lacking compared to the Walkman Z. Even with the equalizer brought to max, the high and mids are still cold. Nevertheless, I wasn't expecting that XS could beat the WZ anyway.
I am very happy with the smart dialer, however, the contact list bug is still there. When you sync with google, all photos will be shrunk. In phone contact photos does provide you with full resolution.
About the camera, the resolution and colour is top! Not on par with the M4/3, but good enough against small compacts. The main concern is the Quick capture function. It seems it won't focus properly. The front camera is ok, and produce fine results.
I am a bit concern with the batteries. In the past, I can charge while playing games, but now, I found that the battery drains faster then I can charge.
Lastly, about the touch sensitive buttons, I really hate them. They seems to activate when you least want them to! For example, when typing, I have many times activate the home button when pressing space. I never have this problem on my WZ. I think once ICS is availale (In April, they say), the buttons will become an extension of the soft buttons, and the issue would be solved.

That is why I hate ICS.
I wastes the screen space with those idiotic ugly buttons on the screen.
And the menu is on top. I am not waiting for this really.
It's strange that some reviews say X S has a great battery life.
In my case still - it's just a few days though - worse than Arc and I don't like it.
As for all of you beeing diasappointed with lack of ICS yet:
some of the dates are rumours, like Samsung. Come down.

What are you on about? The bottom buttons in ICS only appear if the phone has no buttons e.g. in the Galaxy Nexus, phones that have buttons likdm GS2, Sensation, One X, GNote, Xperia S etc...wont have those on-screen ICS ones.
Just look at ICS on the One X, Sensation XE and in leaked ICS ROMs for GS2 and GNote.
ps. Samsung already said ICS is rolling out in March for GS2, so either way, it will be available before Xperia S gets it, which is odd, Sony should've just launched it with ICS so that they can focus on 2011 line-up, and do minor bug fixes in Xperia S.

Allright than if the buttons are not on screen.
Anyway there are some things I don't get here:
1. There is no way I can perform video call
2. There is no USB Mass storage in settings.
