Thank you.
Ricky D. I haven't have a use for them yet, but hopefully I'll get my phone soon, then I'll see.
btw, one of my major concern on using it on my
T-Mobile USA network is the
MMS settings that mess up my MMS sent or received. for my Xperia Neo and the Vivaz pro, I needed to manually input it in. I spent many months searching and testing many I found online, and I finally found one that worked. Surprisingly, my x10 works fine without it.
This always get my worried whenever I buy an unlocked phone, which is nearly always. I never really like the T-Mobile phones, and since I had my first Xperia, the x10, I was totally hooked on the design and the wonderful UI (better than any other for me). the Xperia Neo was even better, but the MMS settings aggravated me endlessly.
I bought the T-Mobile HTC Amaze 4G, but didn't really like it, especially the inferior UI compared to Xperia's. So I'm happy to be switching back to Xperia after many long months. although I'm currently using my old Xperia x10, it's still 2.1 android and I can't update it. I can't wait for the new Xperia have to offer. my favorite widget is the
"photo and videos" that you can scroll through all your photos and videos freely, something that can't be done on Samsung or HTC, there's no app for it on Google Play...
oh, sorry for the ranting. I just need to get it off my chest.

It isn't the photo/video widget you were asking about but if you want to try opening the dropbox link I put up and see if the SemcAlbum app installs on your HTC. I'd be interested to see if it does or not. It might be made just to work on Sony phones but it won't harm to give it a try. That app is the stock photos and videos gallery app on the new Xperias.
As for the MMS settings, doesn't Sony have a settings download service on their website (SE used to)? Have you tried that?

Thanks Alex
And true, Sony definitely has the most stylish phones, and the fact that they bring out phones in pink as well must make it irresistible for you to NOT buy a Sony Xperia
Really nice to see a girl who loves phones. I hope you remain active here on esato. Also you can check out the rumors thread if you want to know more about future Sony devices.

Hi there, welcome to this forum:). I have owned phones from both brands, HTC Desire HD and also the Sony Xperia S. If you like a very fancy UI that may be more user friendly (debatable), the HTC Sense UI is really quite attractive. The HTC One S is definitely much faster with its S4 Krait CPU. But if your emphasis is on camera quality as well as aesthetics, i personally think Xperia S looks better. Beware not to buy older stocked Xperia S as they have a yellow tinge problem with the display.

@alexwu98 could you share some impressions on the Tx and some comparison with your previous S? Is it worth upgrading from S to Tx? I'm still thinking, though, for my XS suits me quite well
And please show us some pics by the main camera, I really do hope the new sensor is better than the S's one

@blackvodka
From what i have noticed so far, the screen quality between the TX and the S is not significantly different. Both are 720x1280 display, although since the TX has a much larger screen, its ppi is actually a little lower than the S. But to be honest..in actual use i see no real difference between the two screens in terms of quality, both are very sharp albeit the slightly poor viewing angles. I still prefer the TX's screen due to its larger size which makes it easier for everything.
In terms of the camera, both are extremely good but the Xperia TX does show slightly more detail when zooming and also abit less noise in darker shots...but you can't say its a ground breaking difference. But the two things that really make me like the TX more than the S is that it really is much faster..S3 compared to S4 Krait has a very noticeable difference. Same apps load at twice the speed of the S in many cases and doesnt heat up as bad, UI is much smoother than ICS xperia S. Its faster than the HTC One X and that says alot. Also, the design of the TX was enough to win me over, i still love the arc shape, which reminded me of the Arc S i had a while ago, and it is so much thinner than the S. Depending if you are a power user, and your choice of style, the TX could be a worthy upgrade. If you don't usually run intensive apps, then you will notice little difference between the TX and the S except the looks.
I'll see if i can find my Xperia S and post a few photos to compare sometime soon. If you have specific functions that you like to compare/ask, it might make it easier for me to answer you
Here's a pic from the TX main camera. This one is only 10 MP but its size is 4.57 Mb already (hopefully it wasnt compressed when uploaded) I'll post up a 13MP one if you are interested

Thanks much for the answer, it's quite tempting this beauty, I do love the arc shape, too.. and pink color does look amazing, but once I'm a guy, then my choice should be black or white, though
Or maybe, the silver version.. is there anything like this? I don't remember exactly if T or Tx has a silver option
For now I'm not running heavy apps on my S, but I do use MANY apps at the same time.. which may make the S to slow down from time to time.. so with the Tx I must be happier? so hard to decide
The pic is lovely, but your hands did shake a bit.. so I'd love to see a pic with image stabilization on, I did notice the difference on my S, sometime it can be quite handy, this stabilization stuff

I already sold my HTC Amaze 4G in anticipation for the Xperia T/TX, so I couldn't test it out like you wanted.
As for the MMS settings, yes, there is that options in
Settings -> Sony Ericsson -> Settings Download -> T-Mobile. it downloaded a
T-Mobile GPRS under
APNs for my Xperia Neo and Vivaz Pro, but it never worked.
I hope I won't have the same problem with the Xperia TX LT29i, or the Xperia T LT30p.
btw, to Xperia T/TX owners, had any of you claim your free
50Gb of Storage from
Box yet? Is it really true?
that would've been great if there is no catch... I could really use that.
