it looks good for early firmware... i'll reserve any judgments until final firmware samples.
i've never been one to expect perfection from my phone camera... that's why point and shoot cameras still exist and what dSLRs are for...
I just want something that looks sharp and has good color reproduction at a reasonable size. I don't care if its super grainy when it's blown up to 100% on a computer screen! If i wanted a photo i was gonna print at that size i'd use my dSLR. I'm happy if i can print a photo from my phone on a 4x6 or maybe even an 8x10 and it looks sharp.. i'm happy. i can even fix the color in photoshop or any of the myriad of photo editing apps on the market (picsay is my fav).
I don't get why everyone is so damn critical of phone camera sample shots, especially on early firmware, when there has been no standard conditions to take the photos and no base comparison with another known sample. Also, we all know when taking a photo with any camera, the photographer matters.
sorry for the rant

@adsada,
The "S" in Xperia S signifies: Successor, Smartphone (?), and most importantly Screen (720P). I'll agree that this device hails the original Xperia while changing the 'Arc' to help feel better in the hand.
@Admad,
Reason for imbedding battery:
1. Ecological and Economical - helps the bottom line; no more manufacturing spare battery's, no more shipping them globally, less costs - easier support (Apple does VERY well in this regard).
2. lifestyle of smartphone users is in the city and by PC/TV etc within a 24hr period in the city never global travellers or in highly rural areas.
@Bonovox,
For this particular product its possible that imbedded storage IS the future (Galaxy Nexus follows this as well if you noticed). Box.net 50GB offer with SonyEricsson is helping quite a bit. As prices for monthly data begin to lower or monthly data caps slowly increase this will help.
Laffen,
might I make a suggestion to have a smart-tag for the Sony logo please like we have ": SE :" for SonyEricsson? Thanks.

I just watched a few previews at YouTube and I'm spotting lags here and there... Especially when you go to the overview mode of the home screen. No matter how many widgets you have, two or ten, it always lags. That's not something that used to happen with the older Xperias. And what about the clock on the home screen (

@mediar - just a note.. that's the Ion not the S. also, i think i noticed the lag you're pointing out... it doesn't seem of any concern to me. it's also not final firmware i'm guessing so thats probably something to take into consideration.
and the clock on the homescreen looks like beautiful widgets which is available on the market. you can customize and change the font for the clock and weather.

I though about Beautiful Widgets as well, but I highly doubt they'll put whatever widgets on these units right there.
Finally a decent previews of the UI:

This is not the final firmware anyway, they still have time to improve it. The kernel version in the older Xperias' firmware is 2.6.32 which has undergone a lot of development and received many updates, whereas the newer ones use a different kernel(2.6.35). I guess they are not optimized yet.

looks slick to me.. i'd like to see more exploration of the timescape widgets. the music player looks nice but unfortunately i usually use google music... :/ might have to change that for my most listened to playlists...
just watched a few more vids on youtube... i love it more and more. confirmed, back of the S is plastic according to a video. overall the design is just so much sexier than the ion, especially in WHITE. it WILL be mine!

I prefer the white version. This MAY replace my Arc as my next phone. A bit disappointed that this device is made of plastic and when released comes only with 2.3.7

I fear battery life will be poor. The battery is not a massive increase and powering a HD screen and all that power under the hood. They should do what Motorola have managed to do on their new handset with a amassive 3330mAh battery or there abouts
