Sounds good! I´m really tempted by this phone. Of course there are "better" phones out there but this one feels really balanced with an extra plus for the camera.
@Rog
How do grade the camera? I´ll guess you have been using if for a while now and should know how it performs.

@rog how on earth do you get better battery from a smaller 1,305mAh??
Smaller screen, white magic saves energy (facts). And maybe the CPU type in the P is more energy efficient? (speculation)

Another video where the "death grip" is not appearing...

I would agree with rog, on my arc the display uses 40 to 50 % of my battery so on the S that would be more as the screen is bigger.
Anything that reduces the power that the screen uses whitemagic, smaller size etc would allow the designers to use a smaller battery and have the same standby time as a larger less efficient display

@gud,
I hope I am not being paranoid but Its weird that he is testing with the screen protector on, i would like to see it without that you know.. It would be really nice if there wasnt any such problem, P seems to be the best offering from sony imo(if 16gb is manageable)..
@rog,
I was just checking the white paper of P and S and apparently P has very good stanabdy times and music playback time.. But once you use it its pretty low, for example -
Video playback on P - 4hours on S - 6 hr 30 min
Tlk time on P -6hrs on S- 7hr 30min
What concerns me is the battery life when your texting/whatsapp frequently and moderate calls and browsing, and judging from the video playback times, whitemagic might not really be that power saving and probably end up charging more frequently! Under these usage arc usually lasts upto 14-16 hours..

@djin: I agree. I don't think that the screen protector should affect the signal properties, though. But it's nice to see a video of someone trying to recreate the "death grip" and failing to do so.

Regarding Sony's "Antennagate": never happened to me in real life so far that a connection was dropped. A lot of fuzz about nothing (is it summer vacation time already??)

Too much issues in that phone here in Russia.
Bad voice quality, poorly attached bottom part, problems with signal reception, often not unlocking to answer the call,
strange color on max brightness.
Lags on different games.

Can you give us a link to those russian issues. I was thinking of sending my Xperia S back and getting a P, but it is not looking like it is worth it just to get an aluminum body.

Regarding battery life. Of what I've read so far, battery life is not better nor worse than the rest of smartphones. It will take you through the day. Somewhere in some forum it was stated it had better battery than the Xperia S. Of course I also would have like better battery but I think it will be acceptable.

I usually do 1-3 hours of browsing, wifi all day connected, 1-2 to hours of music and every once in a while a game. I get a full day out of the S, sometimes with 30-40 percent left if I don't game at all on it. I think some people haven't figured out how to get more life from the S.
Anyways how is the heat dissipation, with it being aluminum. My S can get pretty hot sometimes and it can be annoying. I read in an early review that the phone can get pretty toasty even compared with the S.
