Looks like Arc. Why can't we have a 13 meg model with 4.6 inch screen in Europe??
Phone?? What phone?? |

The leaked pictures are true after all, we are debating its fake because of the SE logo |

Xperia S,P,U have the same logo. I didn't understand why this may be fake. |

This is how the Xperia S should have looked. More curves and less seemless baulky plastic.

So is the SX coming to Europe or UK? Less memory than Xperia P but a card slot perhaps? Faster CPU than the P but smaller screen, will the P get the Walkman feature with its ICS? I'm torn between the two. |

Hey, don't diss the XS design. I quite like the straight lines.
And the back is curved FYI. It's just concave, not convex (more comfy, IMO).

Those curved edges on SX, Sony why are you giving us the impression that you are copying iPhone? |

Heh, sorry but i just cant stand it. When i first saw the phone i thought it looked nice but didnt like the transparent strip with key legends printed on them.
Then when i picked it up i was shocked just by how much i was repulsed by the design. The Xperia S design i have to admit i hate more than i have hated any other design in the past, say, five years. I hate the square corners, the plastic seems so very hard and harsh to hold like the plastic is about three inches thick (which obviously it isnt), almost like a cheap nasty childrens toy - made to take knocks and throws against a wall.
I hate the bottom bit which seems totally pointless, im talking about the bit below the transparent strip. Whats actually in there ? or is it just a solid lump of plastic to act as a counter balance in case the phone flips of out the top of your hand when holding the phone ?? All i see is a hole for a lanyard and what i assume must be the microphone. I also hate how easily the transparent strip and above mentioned lower bit creak like it could snap off like they're glued on rather than machine fitted in place. It reminds me of when in the UK, not sure if this happens abroad, you buy a KitKat 4 finger chocolate bar, each finger is meant to have a wafer in it but sometimes you get one which is a solid lump of chocolate. Which is fine if thats what you wanted but you dont, you want your wafer so it turns your stomach having so much chocolate !
Cant stand the back cover either, you removed the entire thing to reveal the sim card slot, not even a full size sim card but a flaming micro-sim !!! Lets not mention the totally awful lugs which cover hdmi and usb slots.
Sony or Sony Ericsson's worst design ever i reckon. I absolutely hate it. Ive been in CPW this evening and even when i see it sat there on the wall or a working sample i turn away like im sea sick and gone a little green around the gills !
