After full two weeks with Xperia S I repeat that it's a brilliant phone.
Really the battery life improved a lot. Today I made some sunny shots for the first time and they are great.
But there are issues, hopefully will be corrected soon.
1. Camera has some problems with Night Mode! It's quite hard to make a sharp, not blurry night photo!
It's like a lottery, I don't know what really influences that but I can make one amazing photo and than the next one will be a little blurry or rather - moved slightly.
Also, in the night mode after looking at the pictures in camera mode, when I come back to shooting photos, the screen stays BLACK, not showing the picture actually! The picture appears again after changing the mode.
2. Email application. The app itself works great, has nice pich-to-zoom etc. however it has one totally idiotic limitation:
it always saves 25 emails per account! So even if in one session I download 100 emails, at the next one the phone ERASES everything beyond 2 emails! And of course forcing me to download it again each time! This is totally unprofessional and idiotic. What an idiot designed this?
Other than that, great.
But I always wonder, why those manufacturers have to f..ck something up on the way?
Do we always have to live in beta reality?! Pis..es me of completely.

Does MAC recognize FAT32 file systems at all (think that's what is used for the 32 GB disc) ?
Mac OS X can handle FAT32 (read & write) .. but NTFS it can only read natively - there are add-ins that can allow write access. If you have Parallels's or VMWare Fusion (above 4 & 2 respectively) then writing to either works as that OS knows the varying permissions for both NTFS (local & domain - connected/disconnected) vs OSX (unix based permissions).
back on topic.

@marcink,
I'd say keep your hard-earned spinach (green = cash). While you're waiting the market price will drop slightly along with new firmwares to improve overall phone performance (pics included). You'll be VERY happy in 30days or more when you purchase then.
@Doministry,
Email Application. I believe - the ActiveSync one - allows you in settings to increase the amount of emails it'll download. See if 25/50/100 is an option ... if you're using GMAIL's IMAP ... then that maybe a setting to change online with your gmail account; but I cannot be certain on the latter. Play around with the settings ... maybe setting up GMAIL as ActiveSync (server: m.google.com) like I do with my IP4S will give you what your after.
As a comparison: I'm on iOS5.1 and I STILL do not have the ability to set OUT-OF-OFFICE notifications from my iPhone; yet the Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S II (all iterations), and Moto Droid RAZR can do this out of the box!! Aarrrgh!! i support mobile devices and I had a day off last week ... trust me you get slammed when users don't get the OOO auto reply.

But I don't use Gmail at all. And I don't use ActiveSync either, I just a different provider, payed one.
And this issue was nonexistent on my Arc as well as X10 Mini!

Damn ... Not sure how to help.
Still check the settings within the mail app just to be certain you haven't missed a hidden section/setting.

Doministry, show us/me those great photos. What I can see so far is just same old same old in terms of noise and sharpening. C905 was much better then this so called exmor-r. Don't want to pay for megapixels when they don't make any difference. That's the reason I want to get rid of my 8mpix neo. I just feel no investment in camera has been made for the past 3-4 years and we will have to wait for 2013/real Sony influence/lineup to see any difference.

With MTP you can't see files timestamp, and generally it's slower than USB storage mode in my opinion. I'm not very happy with all this MTP and no choice...
Anyone's observed low in-call volume ? My is tooo low compared to Xperia Arc. I've to push the phone into the ear
@doministry, nice shots
