@Offline, took the plunge... got the P! Still getting used to the large size... but it's a great phone! Slowly migrating all my data from my ray...
Just joined the XP club as well (a black one) and as you I also have a MAC (an MBA 2012 to be more precise).
Had not planed to buy any phone this year, however found it on sales and since I have had my eye on it since spring it looked like a no brainer. Coming from X10 mini (I have had it since 2010) it takes some time to adjust.

@Arne Anka congrats! Yes, the old
phones really spoil you with their size. You forget you have them in your pocket.
I had the X10 MP prior to the ray. I'm hoping this phallic screen trend will taper off in a couple of years and Sony will start making small performance androids again like the mini/minipro/ray line. (Like a thinner Xperia U made of aluminum)
But for now, the 4" XP is already considered "Mini" by Samsung standards

It was a short love. Noticed yesterday that the lower right corner of the screen was slightly recessed and when pushed it flexed a bit and made the colors of the screen shift at that part.
Nevertheless, I exchanged it today for another one. Haven't opened it yet and I have to wait until later today. Hope this one is better.
Have you applied the provided screen protector on your device or do you use it naked (just with the shatter proof sheet) ?

It easy to find here in Sweden, however it does not seem to be many customers buying it. Maybe potential customers have been put of by all discussion of the battery ?

@Arne Anka
Hope the replacement is problem free!
I have applied the in-box screen protector and already have some scratches on it
(Have had the phone since the end of July). I don't know whether the shatter proof sheet is scratch resistant...
I also upgraded from a X10 mini and to be honest I got used to the size of P quite fast.
I still use my X10 mini as a secondary phone. I'm running a custom Gingerbread ROM on it and with a slight overclock (from 600 to 650 MHz) the X10 mini performs in simple everyday tasks, on par if not better than the P with stock ICS.

That sucks, but I know the feeling. My ray conked out on me twice... thankfully the second time was still under warranty. First time, the IC controller burned out. Second time, the Bluetooth and Wifi module on the MB died. It's in the shop now.
The Sony store applied the screen protector for me...although I think it's redundant to the shatterproof sheet already pre-applied by Sony... but hey, no harm right?
The battery is quite small for heavy users, but average users will benefit a lot from the White Magic display as well as the Extended Battery Mode. For those that use Wifi more than 3G data... the phone will last quite a bit.

I've got the latest ICS on mine but things like the dialer are slow and the Xperia live wallpaper is really slow. Really wish there was a fix for this, I don't want to go for custom ROMS yet because I really like the Xperia UI. My P is doing well nevertheless and I'm glad I got a silver one because its hard to see the scratches because the aluminium shell is silver unlike other Apple products, hope I don't get sued me for typing 'Apple'.

The shatter proof sheet is not scratch resistant. The mineral glass in under is. The sheet is however replaceable (although it can be tough to get off), so I'm not sure if the protector they provide is supposed to be a replacement for the shatter proof sheet or is supposed to be applied above.
On my mini I had the screen protector applied on the display, but it looks a bit ugly since I failed to apply it on the first try. Beside little dust under the screen protector, after 2.5 years I haven't noticed any scratches (I carry it in a pouch on my belt). Therefore I'm not sure whether to put it on or not on my XP (it is a bit tedious to do it).
