But I have tried many Androids and now Im for the first time willing to give this one a chance, so this clearly speaks for the T!
Any idea to where to get good Android Apps. I seem to bit helpless given the somewhat chaotic google play....
So what is the camera like? I'd like someone to confirm just how strong/weak the LED flash is too.

@newnagasaki both phones are nearly exactly the same, hardware and software wise. just the difference are mainly the design and the replacement battery (TX) which is the main reason for me with the TX. Also, there's region specific. TX is in Far East Asia while T and usually from Europe. this will change later as Sony is releasing either or model around the globe, but right now those 2 are your main source, if I'm correct.
but some of the accessories are different, it's not interchangeable or compatible, like TV docks, each have it's own and cases and cover.
-----------------------------
When I first use the music app, I was pleasantly suprise by it's clarity and loudness. but the walkman app could use some work. I don't particularly like the way you turn on shuffle or repeat mode. it's an annoying extra step or two. go to app, pull down menu, shuffle/repeat and toggle on or off. X10 and Neo built-in music player and Google Play music isn't that annoying, it's on the screen and sometimes on the widgets as well, where u can just click to activate/deactivate, simply and easy. but of course I can just use the Google Play music app, but having the built-in app walkman and not using it seems like just a waste of space to me. if Sony can tweak that with updates, then I'll only need one music app, then.
another thing that disappointed me was that it not compatible with just any in-line mic and remote headphones. I have this SONY MDR-EX38 with in-line mic and remote headphones, though compatible with iPods, were also compatible with many other android phones, volume works and so did answering phonecalls.
it didn't work with the Xperia TX, it had work on my Xperia Neo, but not on Xperia x10.
I'm personally bummed due to the fact that it's my most used headphones for all my devices and I personally bought 2 more. yet it's not working with my phone. I usually use it with my ipod touch and previous android phone.
The music clarity is fine on the phone when using the headphones, but the remote doesn't work. other simple headphones should work I suppose. just not hands-free. I would have to use the headphones it came with.

Which kind of apps you look for?
All the apps are on Play... What do you need?

Be interested to know how you take a screenshot on this phone as I'm guessing it would be very awkward to take a screenshot by pressing the power button and the volume down button due to the location of the buttons.

to answer my own question from a few posts up, an unlocked TL(not carrier branded with LTE bands) might be coming to the US market (source from XDA)....

Could something confirm just how bright the flash is? been reading on the internet that it should be brighter than the S because the T has a pulsed LED flash.

I believe there are two competing 4-pin headset detection standards (CTIA and OMTP). One of the standards is winning, Sony used to use the other. I seem to remember in this year's rumours thread it popped up that Sony changed which standard they are using to CTIA.
It's not much more than the way the contacts are laid out and the detection method of the device (to know that there is an in-line mic involved). If it helps you to know, Apple use CTIA. I believe
converters are available to switch the pin layout, my recent Phillips headphone purchase came with a 2" adaptor cable just like the one in the link.
Hope that points you in the right direction.
@northernmonkey
Not quite the comparison you are after but I compared my TX's LED to my Arc's LED and the TX seems about 10% brighter, but has a yellow-greenish (I'm marginally colour blind) tinge to it which is weird. The Arc's LED is very white. Looking directly at it just hurts my eyes so I tested it in a dark corridor of my flat and shone on white patterned wallpaper (in case you're interested in the fairness of the test).
On the TX screen shots are easy but the power and volume buttons are on opposite sides of the phone. T must be much harder, especially if you are holding it in your right hand. T isn't very left-handed friendly.
