Been using it for a week now, what I found that the UI is the best in consistancy throughout every droids I have used. Love the new lockscreen notification, the new slide to message just works, with style!. I could say now that other than the battery life, it beats the 4S in every way. There is a slight problem with the screen. When you apply the protector on the screen, the transparent bar will be lower than the main screen, this would make it a bit akward if you touch the sides.
I found that the sound when connected to the headphones is quite lacking compared to the Walkman Z. Even with the equalizer brought to max, the high and mids are still cold. Nevertheless, I wasn't expecting that XS could beat the WZ anyway.
I am very happy with the smart dialer, however, the contact list bug is still there. When you sync with google, all photos will be shrunk. In phone contact photos does provide you with full resolution.
About the camera, the resolution and colour is top! Not on par with the M4/3, but good enough against small compacts. The main concern is the Quick capture function. It seems it won't focus properly. The front camera is ok, and produce fine results.
I am a bit concern with the batteries. In the past, I can charge while playing games, but now, I found that the battery drains faster then I can charge.
Lastly, about the touch sensitive buttons, I really hate them. They seems to activate when you least want them to! For example, when typing, I have many times activate the home button when pressing space. I never have this problem on my WZ. I think once ICS is availale (In April, they say), the buttons will become an extension of the soft buttons, and the issue would be solved.

That is why I hate ICS.
I wastes the screen space with those idiotic ugly buttons on the screen.
And the menu is on top. I am not waiting for this really.
It's strange that some reviews say X S has a great battery life.
In my case still - it's just a few days though - worse than Arc and I don't like it.
As for all of you beeing diasappointed with lack of ICS yet:
some of the dates are rumours, like Samsung. Come down.

What are you on about? The bottom buttons in ICS only appear if the phone has no buttons e.g. in the Galaxy Nexus, phones that have buttons likdm GS2, Sensation, One X, GNote, Xperia S etc...wont have those on-screen ICS ones.
Just look at ICS on the One X, Sensation XE and in leaked ICS ROMs for GS2 and GNote.
ps. Samsung already said ICS is rolling out in March for GS2, so either way, it will be available before Xperia S gets it, which is odd, Sony should've just launched it with ICS so that they can focus on 2011 line-up, and do minor bug fixes in Xperia S.

Allright than if the buttons are not on screen.
Anyway there are some things I don't get here:
1. There is no way I can perform video call
2. There is no USB Mass storage in settings.

The best area to work with buttons is the INSIDE space
between left/right buttons and the middle.
The battery problem is that after activity it keeps sucking energy on idle.
And that is strange because in activity it's quite OK.
But as Arc eats like 1% through many hours, S is faster.

Skype is a different thing. I talk about video calling in phone.
And USB mode has nothing to do with File Manager.
You confuse things.

More pics as requested by @etaab
For the battery it's running out pretty fast, maybe because is always WIFI connected, BT and installing apps
Watching a movie with the Xperia S is...
it has a really great screen and for me better than the iPhone 4S

Domistri, I think you must reboot your phone. It looks like classic android bag with battery eating.
