Sony Xperia T review:
Final words
The Sony Xperia T is by all means an impressive phone. The dual-core Krait does a great job of competing with many other flagships not only on its home turf, but in the quad-core arena as well. Add to that a display that pushes out an impressive amount of pixels without issue, and a streamlined Android ICS interface that introduces some nifty features and optimizations not offered by other OEMs, you have a package that is very well put together.
while the Android experience is something that has largely been the same across different OEMs, Sony has struck a great balance between great-looking apps and features on an optimized Android core that looks fresh yet familiar. True that while the Xperia T may be behind in the numbers race, the software package that it delivers is truly among the nicest we've seen.
Sometimes it's not enough to simply have the best around - you want to make a statement. Where some makers let the numbers talk, Sony are trying to appeal to emotions with the Xperia T's top notch design and feel. We're happy with the meal, but we guess there's room for dessert. And we sure hope Jelly Bean doesn't take too long.
FINALLY!!! Finally someone out there gets what Sony is just trying to do in the past 14mths and what they SHOULD be doing!!
Sony = Bold, HTC = underlined (above).
This is almost the exact same principle that Apple has always tried to acheive with their products - beyond the early users that got on board back in 1984 ... nobody understood until 2008 when sales began to climb. Sony realizes its NOT about the specs - they'll loose to larger manufacturers that have economies of scale to better match cost pricing in supply chain. We ALL know the fan base has been there - emotionally tied & faithful to their products, being gentle in their criticism but it seems now Sony is on par with them.
Finally.

What kind of image stabilization Xperia T uses for stills? Is it related to gyroscope as in some LG models (eg if camera movement/shake is detected image won't be captured). I know this is far from OIS in 920, but still would like to know.
Cheers,

bronxdude,
you're right I guess haven't seen Amazing Spiderman so I'm behind. I choose Dark Knight Rises over that this summer.
Tsepz_GP,
Friends with Benefits, haven't seen it. So twice I'm out.
Ricky D,
Very close with Quantum of Solace but that movie featured feature phones, and only 1 smartphone: M600.
randomuser,
I think you have it (not the movie I was thinking about but). I didn't see Friends with Benefits, when where characters using them?
SALT was the movie I was thinking of because I used it last night.
Salt, Angelina Jolie was using an Xperia X1 silver at the beginning of the movie, her russian undercover counterpart (that she killed with chains in her handcuffs near the end) was using a P1, along with the director of investigation for the CIA ... he also had a P1.
I almost feel sad that we no longer see SonyEricsson, Ericsson, or Sony prototypes in movies anymore. Like that R384/5 (?) based prototype smartphone that Pierce Brosnan used in open qwerty-clamshell mode to remote control his BMW 5 Series.

So overall great phone with dual core competing with quadcores.
Camera will be improved - let's hope.

Sony Mobile ME finally started response to the availability of T, TX & V in MENA
متى ينزل هاتف sony xperia T في منطقة الشرق الاوسط ؟؟؟
When will the Sony Xperia T be available in Middle East region ?
Xperia T

Xperia TX
سيتم طرحه في جميع أسواق الشرق الأوسط ما عدا المغرب وجنوب أفريقيا في آخر الربع الرابع من سنة 2012 أو أول الربع الأول من عام 2013.
Xperia T
Will be available in Morroco and South Africa in late 4Q12 or early 1Q13...
Xperia TX

So no T for us, TX has better looking anyway, but it's too late !!
I guess I will wait till the next nexus range is uncovered and decide... unless I found a used XS or GS3 for low price to use till 2H13
But I'll try to call local dealer to confirm if they know anything

Those comparative photo/video charts on Xperia T look TERRIBLE.
WTF?! Faulty soft? It's just terrible, out of focus both video and photo.
LOL! Sony wake up.

That second shot the TX definitely looks to have a better screen that the T. It's not as easy to tell in the first shot but I think TX edges it there too. Arco S and J look decidedly average in the gang.
I think my decision to go with TX (which is available in China but I daren't go buy one for fear of being beaten up) is the right choice.

I wonder why there's no white TX live pics around !!
Sony will bring TX to the region according to Sony Mobile ME Facebook page so it's the way to go, the problem is they also said that availability will be late 4Q12 or early 1Q13... I called the local dealer and they confirm that TX will be here not T, but they said Late October/Early November !!
I know two things for sure...
1- Those Facebook pages employees some times says wrong stuff !!
2- Some employees in local dealers also knows nothing !! I remember the arc days when they kept saying next week, next two weeks or next month and then it came almost 4-5 months later !!
