Strangely enough, this looks like being one of the best looking of Sony's latest phones. I'm liking the new designs - completely different from the curves of last year.

Agree, I really like its design too
and the fact that it has a memorycard slot
Only wish it had a bigger screen.

Its lack of a front-facing camera is a pretty..... big negative against it.

They've again managed to make their phones look a lot different from the rest of the pack.
Great spec list too and it's nice to see they're including some smart-tags to get you started.

The white one looks absolutely divine! But Sony needs to realize that eventhough Samsung sells ugly phone their at the top of their game so there other areas they need to look into to catch up. Looks can only get them so far. That said, damn they make pretty phones!

It does look gorgeous! (sans the back)
I like how they added that small illumination just above the Xperia logo.

These things are very subjective, but I think the design is terribly blocky, and the front surface of the phone looks like two disjointed blocks (from the '80s).
I'd much rather have more pocketable curved edges and a totally flat front face. I can't see this the raised part holding up to accidents well either. The white model makes the ugly more livable though.
There may be a practical use for that white light under the raised screen too. If it's just posturing, it will be disappointing.
* The NFC tags might be useful to some people.
* The USB port should have a sliding cover to protect it from the elements, ideally.
* The SE 'bump' logo on the back shouldn't be there (it will get damaged with enough table placement if unprotected). I would guess newer phones in the future will finally dispense with it given the corporate changes here.
Floating Touch sounds like it may have some usefulness for some people and it differentiates Sony pretty well, when most phones are starting to look and act just the same as each other.

This phone proves that not all smartphones need to look alike. I love the red one! I don't think the raised screen is practical, although it does merit them extra points for creativity. I can't wait to try the "floating touch" feature, too.

Any idea how much will this cost at launch?
