No other options
odd how Xperia V is the ONLY model confirmed to have Bluetooth 4.0 = lots of power saving. But with VGA front camera recording/video chat?!! WT ... F!! A LTEdevice withVGA camera? Whyyyyyyyyy.
TX then if not then Xperia SL will do until late 2013.

@Hardened there is no contradiction. if the info is correct, Sony will not sell the Xperia T unlocked (i.e., from a sony style store) but it will sell the Xperia T locked and with contract through AT&T.
Sony/SE have sold plenty of phones unlocked in the US through sony style stores and online. They just don't always offer every model they have released worldwide but only choose to sell certain models for some reason. For example, right now you can buy the Xperia U, P, S all unlocked on sony style website/store and from other retailers such as newegg.
Also, the difference between T and TX is just LTE. T is supposed to have its own LTE version (Lt30at, if i'm not mistaken). TX is for Asian LTE and other markets that have similar LTE bands.

PS. who ever said a Xperia S is faster than a GS3 cant be taken seriously, there's a reason why GS3 is still the benchmark, and it plus GS2/GNote and GNexus are the only Androids worth giving iPhone and WP a run for their money in speed and fluidity up til now.

That's why I believe someone you're referring to mentioned real-world usage. Specs don't mean junk if the OS is buggy, apps are buggy or the systems connection to onboard/external storage is buggy. As the old addage in cars is said "A car is ONLY as fast as how heavy your right foot is" ... the same is true in electronics "a devices top specs is ONLY as good as its user UI & user performance when using it". THIS is where Sony's optimization comes into full effect.
Now does ANYONE know WHICH pictures is the "T" or the "TX" listed on the front page of this thread?
One model has a flap which I'm not liking in design too much, the other does not. Now I also need to decide if the Xperia V will suit my needs (water resistance is a serious plus, but no camera button and no mention of dedicated volume key shutter activation especially when screen is off is not good for me).
Lastly I'm concerned about Sony's direction with DNLA and the Miracast using an accessory - sounds TOO similar to AppleTV2/3 for iOS devices. At least with those I can do something without the phone, but with Sony's accessory it serves a single purpose ??
PS: I LOVE Sony's NFC/BT portable speakers!!!
Im also talking about the real world experience, and i can tell you flat out that the Xperia S even compared to a GS2 let alone a GS3 isn't that fast especially on Android4.0.4, NOWHERE did i mention specs being the only thing that mattered. Samsung so far have proven to be the only Android OEM capable of making an Android UI thats consistently fast and fluid and comparable to iPhone and WP.

Ah, i thought as much, the difference in those benchmarks is tiny. Interesting part is that the GS3 is a A9 Cortex Quad Core with the same GPU as GS2, yet the newer S4 Krait which is more like A15 Cortex hasnt blown the GS3 away in the benchmarks with a great gap, will be interesting to see how the Exynos 5 based on A15 compares to the newer S4 Pro found in the LG Optimus G, the normal S4 in these new Xperias seems to be more of a stop-gap.

GS3 ui is definitely smooth and Doesnt lag or stutter. But its NOT FAST. Comparing it face to face with Htc one x, htc desire, xperia s and xperia pro, Its the slowest to do basic activities. Such as launching dialer, messaging etc. Samsung still needs to improve the speed of their ui. Htc is imo, the best in the UI and that is visible when using the one x . About sony, well they are fast in the beginning but start lagging, the screen refreshes every time you press home screen etc.. If these are fixed then it would be like the best experience for me. Especially with their new walkman and album ui.

Thats what im talking about Djin, a consistently fluid UI, although the Xperia Ss ive used have not been as fast as the GS3s, GNote and S2s ive had a go at.
I totally agree, visually, HTC have by far the best UI, and Sense4 is a stunner, i was so sure i was going to get a Sensation XE late last year as its design and SenseUI looked better than the S2 and TW4, unfortunetly the XE had many issues, no availability down here and Sense also tends to bog it down over time.

So, we all know the Xperia V has all the new Sony tech (Bravia 2, HDR, Clear Audio+, etc) but aren't these basically software enhancements? My question is, can't these algorithms be ported to the T, thereby making it the TRUE flagship, sans water resistance?
Just wondering.. I'm not a phone hacker though I do appreciate those who are!
EDIT:
perhaps this isn't the best place to post this, but I am torn fellas and I'd like your input, especially you @randomuser. My options are:
1) wait for this bad boy and either get it unlocked (not sure if it'll be sold in the US) or from AT&T (if/when they pick it up). Either way, I'll probably be paying a hefty price since I'm not sure if I'm up for an upgrade yet with AT&T.
2) Get an older Xperia (probably Xperia U) and wait until 2H 2013 for the real Sony beasts to emerge and get the flagship phone at that time.

I'd personally say if you can wait, then you should actually wait as the 2013 phones will be significantly better than the T/V. I'm sure ROG will suggest you the same.
The Quad Core power and Full HD screen alone should be enough to ease the pain of the long wait for you, without even getting on to the camera and other features.
Note For all those in the UK wanting to get the T, it will go on sale in UK on this coming Wednesday - September 5th. [ This Message was edited by: randomuser on 2012-08-31 15:13 ]

I definitely need a new phone ...
The question is whether I can get the T for a subsidized price (which would only happen if AT&T picks it up and who knows when that will actually happen. Nov is the rumor) or just get an Xperia U online for $329 USD.
The new features are definitely a plus for waiting..
So by your suggestion, I should get the XU and wait for the 2H 2013 Flagship..
What says you @rog (if you're reading this thread)?

I still can't believe that.
Fastest release ever, but hold on, we will see what happen next week...
