It does look smaller than Arc width-wise - unless the guy holding it has gigantic thumbs. Does this leak point to an imminent annoucement?
Great news to learn this could be the first using ST-Ericsson chips.

Not too bad, that comparison

What is the purpose of the transparent type display? - I'm a bit confused as to the benefits.

I think its the body that is transparent, not the display. Or have I missed something?

That would make for an awesome notification light. It would be visible no matter what way around the phone is.

Btw Rog, how do you think (without saying anything specific) the SE 2012 line is shaping up? Do you think they can compete better than this year?

It surely must be the back. Never heard of any proto having a white plastic cover as a place holder for screen. Aalso who in their right mind would have a laterally convex screen?
The white plastic is hopefully something thrown in to confuse us like a battery cover from the white variant and the main body from the black variant. If it's actually designed to be released like that I may just sit this one out.
That clear strip is (like I said before) just like the T650 notification light bar which shone beautifully. Although this looks less well designed.
Neither X1, X10 nor Arc (I'm pretty sure the others don't either) have Xperia in a 3D relief like this. I think This is the only positive to take from this design.
I am kind of wondering what that tiny nubble is on the end under the dudes finger. Looks like a 3.5mm socket to me, any light from anyone?

I am pretty sure that leaked photo IS the front, see the XPERIA engraved into the plastic that is typical for the xperia line for the xperia logo to be at the bottom of the front of the handset in the centre.
If it was the back then the xperia logo would be along the back in the centre (when the phone is rotated in landscape) unless they've changed the design that has to be the bottom of the front!
Could the reason there are no keys, is because the phone will run on android 4.0 which requires no physical buttons?

Good point! It is still puzzling though why they would need to cover the front of the phone like that - I'm baffled as it doesn't look like any other phones in the portfolio other than something with the same form-factor as the Pureness.

I'm still not convinced, look at the curve, it is classic human curvature to be rounded along the sides of the back, it make the phone 'feel' thinner in the hand. I believe it's the bottom of the back and as a white battery cover. It's less of a design change to put the xperia logo on the bottom than it is to curve the front outwardly. It's also much less weird.
If you look at the way the reflections distort closer to the edges it's clear its not at all a mild convex curvature.
