As for port flaps I wish others would do what Samsung does they use a slider lock over the ports

Regard to port's cover, I wish they will follow by Nokia N9's mechanism on the top (I think it sim's tray) which very well done.

Having using the Xperia NX for the past week, I could say that it is really the true successor of X10. Why? Because it inherrits all the bugs of the X10!
1. Low in call volume - it is very true, much worse than the Arc
2. The flip of the USB port.
3. I have the charging problem once again. Sometimes, it discharges much more quickly than it charges.
4. It is really hard to find the touch sensitive buttons in the dark. I know, the bar does light up, but not until you have actually toched the buttons.
NX does NOT have NFC, so I could not test it.

1 Low in call volume - it is very true, much worse than the Arc: I have no problem with that (it's a isolated problem) to me.
2 The flip of the USB port: That's a personal opinion.
3. I have the charging problem once again. Sometimes, it discharges much more quickly than it charges: I have no problem with that.
4 It is really hard to find the touch sensitive buttons in the dark. I know, the bar does light up, but not until you have actually toched the buttons: I agree with some point, but i already used to it.
It sounds you have a personal issue and mebay a isolated bugs.

For details I prefer the Nokia but the Nokia is lacking a slight contrast & less colours but is more natural. And the N8 can do better than that.

I think your problem is you won't amids that the picture from Xperia S look better than that from N8
The picture form the N8 looks not real color, the picture fom the Xperia S has better real color and sharper than N8
Nope. That's what you want me to admit. But I still think the n8 is better & does take better pics than that shown. Goodnight
I don't like N8 all the time. it struggle to focus for macro shots. and controls are bad.. sometime I love to use my c905. n8 has good hardware but the controls and usability is bad.
however sony really has to improve a lot. sony phones are still equal or lose in tiny margin. they have to wipe off from the competitions all phones.

Are you sure you have the retail version ? Because all reviewers and users as far as I know have been able to use NFC with no issues.

ST Ericsson Nova A9600, the Cortex A15 chip of choice!
Source:
http://www.stericsson.com/press_releases/NovaThor.jsp
Date: February 15, 2011
ST-Ericsson’s new Nova A9600 brings over 200 percent more mobile computing performance compared to the U8500 platform. It features the industry’s best and most efficient low-power implementation known today of a dual ARM® Cortex- A15 MPCore™ with each core running up to 2.5GHz thanks to very innovative power saving techniques to be disclosed later this year.
“As the selection of advanced smartphones and tablets increases we see the need for a wider range of performance points to be addressed,” said Mike Inglis, EVP and general manager of the ARM Processor Division, “This announcement shows the performance that can be achieved by combining the Cortex-A15 processor with integrated LTE modems.”
The Nova A9600 will be the first platform announced to incorporate Imagination Technologies next generation of graphics processors, codenamed Rogue, which will set a new performance bar for GPUs at mobile power consumption levels. The Nova A9600 will bring more than a 20-fold improvement in graphics performance compared with the U8500 platform.
“POWERVR Series6, codenamed ‘Rogue’, moves the goalposts in terms of graphics performance and efficiency at low power consumption for next generation mobile.” said Hossein Yassaie, CEO of Imagination Technologies. “We are delighted to be working with ST-Ericsson on such a groundbreaking product.”
The Nova A9600 will also be able to play full HD video at 120 frames per second, supporting professional camcorder-quality recording in 3D, as well as high definition videoconferencing and tele-presence.
now .... it makes me wonder why the Xperia ION, Xperia P or U did NOT have the following CPU? Does anyone really think the engineering/marketing decision to go with the U8500 vs the 9500/9540 had to do with cost or chp availability?
ST-Ericsson also unveiled the Nova A9540, a dual-core ARM Cortex- A9-based processor, with each core operating at up to 1.8 GHz, and the Nova A9500, a dual-core ARM Cortex- A9-based processor, running at 1.2 GHz. The Nova A9540 delivers a four times improvement in graphics performance compared with the current generation, while the A9500 delivers state-of-the-art graphic capabilities on mobile devices.
The Nova A9540, built in 32nm, uses a dual-core Cortex-A9 running at up to 1.8 GHz and delivers graphics performance up to four times that of the U8500 and is sampling H2 2011.
The Nova A9500, built in 45 nm, uses a dual-core Cortex-A9 running at clock speeds of up to 1.2GHz, with Mali™ 400 improving graphics performance up to 20 percent, supporting full HD camcorder capabilities and up to 20 megapixel cameras. It is sampling and in design with ST-Ericsson customers today.
(this means the Noa A9500 should deliver 20% more graphics performance than the U8500 used in the Xperia P & U ... but BOTH use the Mali 400; so how can it do it?)
Something MORE:

http://www.itproportal.com/20[....]-a15-40-cent-faster-cortex-a9/
Date: 14 March, 2011
We've received an email from ARM that confirms that the Cortex-A15 will be at least 40 per cent faster than the A9 when it comes to raw performance (Dhrystone MIPS), all things equal; same number of core, same speed.
The Cortex-A8 reached 2.0 DMIPS/MHz while the Cortex-A9 reached 2.5 DMIPS/MHz, a 25 per cent improvement. According to our contact at ARM, the A15 has a "published but not formal number" of 3.5 DMIPS/MHz but told us that the performance difference across generation is "dependent on many factors" before adding that "Other benchmarks can show less improvement on specific devices, others a greater improvement.
The 25 per cent performance improvement roughly ties up with the preliminary benchmark results reported by Nvidia and by Anandtech, which means that ARM is deliberately being conservative when it comes to benchmark figures.
What's more we already know of at least one manufacturer who has published benchmark figures for the Cortex-A15; Last month at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, ST-Ericsson revealed that its new system on Chip, the Nova A9600, would have two Cortex-A15 core, runs at 2.5GHz and, more importantly, breaks the 20,000 DMIPS barrier.
This means that the ST-Ericsson's tweaked implementation of the Cortex-A15 can reach at least 4.01 DMIPS/MHz, which is itself a 14 per cent improvement upon what ARM's figures.
Most impressive!
So is the rumored Hiyabusa going to use the Nova A9600?!

@Prom1
It has been reported numerous tines that the A9600 has been pushed back to 2013. It will be sampled in late Q2 or early Q3 2012.
I think that Sony might use the A9600 for the 2013 phones.

^Nova A9600 will not be ready by 1Q next year so we will not see a device with this in it. For the Nova A9500, we might see a device with it at the end of the year. I think it is not really because of cost cutting reason why Sony has not released a smartphone with one of those SOCs but because of them availability.
Though one thing is for sure, Sony is going to released a smartphone next year with quad-core Snapdragon S4.
