Sony Ericsson / Sony : Android : Sony Xperia S thread
Oh man ... BRING IT! I cannot wait for your review and first intakes. Can we also have a full weekend burn-down on battery life under heavy use please?!

Hello again.
Sorry for not answering sooner, but I dont have time for pretty much anything.
I have been with the Xperia S for nearly a week now (Birthday Present), and I still havent got time to try even half of it.
I will just post a short list of positive and negative things to consider before buying.
POSITIVE:
Nice desing, I love the cristal antena.
LED's notification and the cristal bar. (Both works as notifications light's)
Awesome Screen. (The best in the market right now.)
Very fast browser.
Good sound quality (mp3, mp4, video).
Nice UI. (I can't wait to get ICS with Sony's UI)
Battery last more than 48 hours with light use. 24hours with heavy use. (Estimated)
Fast charge mode. In one hour, its fully charged.
NEGATIVE:
The plastic flaps covering the HDMI and the USB conector. (at the end, I am sure they will be broken)
The capacitive buttons. They work fine, but they are hard to find. I guess you have to get use to them.
The 4.3" LCD screen doesnt have Gorilla Glass (Or any kind of protection).
No ICS at launch. (I hope they dont take too long for the update).
POSITIVE:

Yes definitely will check the batt life too. Planning to fiddle more with the device around Sat/Sun.

Just seen the sample photo from the HTC One X - wish Sony would sort out that compression noise on the S, HTC One X is much clearer at full crop 
Still getting the phone thou

Got it!
So:
1. Nice surprise. Leather carry pouch and screen protector included.
2. Looks great and it's well built. Feels less plasticky than Arc. Back covers is removable in a great way.
3. Screen is great too, just so much more refined than - already great - Arc.
4. New widgets are nice, however they removed the batt indicator from the tools widget.
So you don't know the batt percentage uless you go to settings, or I just can't find it.
5. The capactive buttons: basically I like physical ones so it's already a step back.
But they are ok, they just need a certain amount of pressure. What is actually good! Because there is no way you can press them accidentally.
They are definitely working well, more like hardware ones.
6. Internal memory - still visible as separate - is around 1,8 MB.
Whole available RAM is around 620 MB, so now about 370MB free.
7. Ui looks great, more matt than glossy on Arc. There is quickdial.
8. Camera is fast, the UI still good but I'm just used to Arc. But it's still ergonomic.
I have to test still things like calling, internet and photo. Don't have that much of a free time now.
Oh and one more thing, this one pisses me of or I can't get it:
After calendar sync I see only events back in Feb. Everything older is not present. What is a problem since I have events back in May 2011 which I need.
