Looks like Sony had put all their best in-house tech in this phone, save for the "above-average-in-its-class" processor and the "above average-in-its-class" display, this had even more HW features to brag than even the best breed from other smartphone makers. I'm so glad we finally have a waterproof high end phone

If i "accidently" break off the flap covering headset jack, would it still be water proof?

I think the cover was there to ensure the outer case is watertight , so no  it has something to do with its IPxx rating, if it's rated higher then perhaps it could have some more water repelling protection

^^ They're the same, I think it has something to do with marketing.
Quotes from wikipedia
"Water resistant" and "waterproof" often refer to penetration of liquid water. Permeation of water vapor is reported as a water vapor transmission rate. Also, water from condensation is usually separate from "water resistant".

My bad.  I thought water resistant can't be submerged under water. |

There is a difference actually. Water resistant is more like splash or rain proof. Water proof is more like swimming at a set depth. Marketing Sony have worded wrong perhaps

Acro S can submerge under water for 1 meter for 30 minutes, not good for scuba diving but for kid's swimming pool it'll be perfect!  and yes a waterproof phone should also withstand moist which I think is not possible with the Acro and go.

It's handy for talking in the rain. Does the Arco S have any metal on it like Ion or the P?? And why is someone saying it's last years specs or processor?? Who cares who needs quad core?? I don't

Now this is amazing! If its running the Qualcomm Krait S4 CPU it will be great.
1910mAh battery, water and dust resistants, 16GB built-in mem PLUS MicroSD expansion, straight out the box with Android4.0....THIS is what the Xperia S should've been, seems we've got a true Sony 2012 flagship now, the Acro S.
I just wish Sony would improve their video codec support.

stupid question, what´s the main difference to the XP S? Expandable memory?
Seems to me almost the same device but maybe I'm overlooking something.

And I also look forward to further releases too as Sony did say they are going to release some exciting new handsets. I much prefer this over the XS
