Which is why I said you're not missing anything at all with the S. By then you might think, "I should've gotten the S when it came out." You can even look into the P. It's making me ripping my hair just choosing between the two. The P will have much more appealing gimmicks than the S. You'll see why soon.

@Felimenta97, SEUS checks for the firmware version your device has, not based on where you plug it in and update. All of them points to the same server location anyways.
[XPERIA X10 General] SEFanX10i:
@unknown13x

So you mean hayabusa and mint will have Snapdragon MSM8260 CPU ?? :(
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
Sorry, I do not know, and I cannot confirm that at this moment.
[XPERIA X10 General] aR_ChRiS:
From what I know the xperia P is going to have the novaThor chipset. So do you know when the release is happening for this phone?
[XPERIA X10 General] championswimmer:
in markets from April
[XPERIA X10 General] Dr.Gonzo105:
Unknown 13x which would be the best sony phone that would be released in 2012?
[XPERIA X10 General] Denie46:
Yes, I have a similar question, what I didn't understand is wether Hayabusa will have similar specs to S or it will be a mid-range phone ?
[XPERIA X10 General] king-james:
I prefer the ION because, I like the design more, the bigger screen and battery, standard simcard and one of the biggest point, it has a micro-sd slot! These are the reasons why I want the ION in compare to the S...

But now I am excited to see the Xperia P... You give us a lil hope. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] :
This is Nypon I believe...
[XPERIA X10 General] dachao:
Is this the shell from the Sony Xperia U (ST25i)?

Non removable battery and back cover. The Xperia S should have been this way.
[XPERIA X10 General] king-james:
@ jo74dav

Thanks I saw this pic already and also I've read some info about the specs, but nothing more. But U13X said it is a interesting device. Maybe because of the new screen technology or other nice new features we never saw before... Just 18 days left. :D

[XPERIA X10 General] SEFanX10i:
Hope the final firmware will be much improved cuz that looks nowhere as close to the Galaxy S II in terms of smoothness.
[XPERIA X10 General] dachao:
It is because of the animations on the xperia S.
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
I too will prefer the Xperia ION... It looks and reminds me of my dear x10 :)

Sadly ION may not come/be released in India :(

Not too interested in Xperia P but lets see... A hands on experience may change that ;)

same here...ion is far better ... hopefully it comes to India

Sony exploring Vita OS for smartphones and tablets, says AV Watch

http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/12/2793065/sony-vita-os-smartphones-tablets
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
Much more locked than iOS

PS vita os is very similar to ps3 os so ps3 took 4 years to be jailbroken(and still Sony blocked it after an update and not hacked again 1 year passed)

PS vita also not hacked yet
[XPERIA X10 General] samuel109:
That could be interesting and unique atleast. The Vita OS doesn't look bad and could look good on a phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
Yup the HTC Endeavor looks promising!!! Though its rumored to have tegra3 chipset... I would prefer Snapdragon S4 chipset...

That's bad news... That OS is proprietary and will be heavily locked down...
[XPERIA X10 General] dachao:
I agree. It would have a unique OS and if Sony makes the PlayStation Suite so it allows easy porting of apps it could be the next big thing.

---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

It is bad news for the XDA community but 95% of customers do not even know what XDA or root is.

iOS is locked and it sells like crazy.

Before anyone jumps to worse conclusion about porting Vita OS. They're talking about gaming aspect only, not the whole functionality. Vita will have alot more functionality, but the phones is just adding gaming aspects to it...it's not taking out Android OS.
[XPERIA X10 General] Haldi4803:
Sony Xperia S.

2nd Half 2012 olololo

i hope if we get VitaOS they'll make Dual boot!
[XPERIA X10 General] aR_ChRiS:
Don't think that would be the case, as Sony are not likely to release the sources of the Playstation OS..
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
Sony are not nuts

They have just released the vita and why would they release a phone with same os to compete with themselves?

And the apps on vita runs on very different principle I will upload an example of ps3 app(both on ps3 and vita apps are quite similar)

Camera shootout Sony Xperia S vs Nokia N8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BpMQ9DraHY
[XPERIA X10 General] totalundone:
I like the new Xperia S... but oof, that review was so biased...

The snapshot samples they provide show just how much better the N8 is at taking photos. Contrast was much better, less purple fringing, better reproduction of colors. All the Xperia S shots have a white haze over it (cheap lens issue).

In that video, they focused on the blurry cheek of the statue with the N8... even though they centered the nose and they compare it with the Xperia S that had the cheek in focus.
[XPERIA X10 General] LORELAI89:
@Unknown13x,can you tell us some of the gimmicks that xperia P will have?If not,could you at least tell us,if it's gonna have 512MB or 1GB ram??
[XPERIA X10 General] aR_ChRiS:
I only know that it'll be on the NovaThor dual-core chipset with the mali400-M1 gpu.

Excuse me for necro bumping what you said..

Most people that buy android phones are on a higher level than your average joe.

That's what Nokia, I-phone, and BB is for... noobs.

samsung disapproves!

android has become mainstream since the galaxy invasion.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
That may be true.

But that actually supports what i am saying even more.

If SE has become more about it's name than making quality phones then they forgot what made them so great at a time.
[XPERIA X10 General] cikomiko:
they are not dumb and deaf. they will change their product philosophy like they did with the software.

1st gen outdated software, hardware was up to date or atleast competitive

2nd gen latest software, outdated hardware

3rd ?? who knows, maybe they will learn from their past mistakes and build a phone with the latest software and hardware.

i´m very excited about the announcement of the new xperia line (my contract ends next spring, a new phone ist needed!) :)
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
If this is any indication of their concept of "latest hardware", then I am not inclined to agree.

This would be ltest hardware if they released it right now, but it isn't even announced yet, meaning release probably won't be for another 6 months.
[XPERIA X10 General] LJE:
My bad Mr higher level, or is it Mrs higher level today?

Should I take my phone back and tell them I made a mistake. That I needed a phone like a Nokia or bb not this android that the salesperson spoke so hightly of?

What was I thinking buying a phone that looked good and did everything I needed my phone to do?

But what would I know, you're clearly suggesting I'm just a lower lever individual that buys phones that I don't know how to use right?

You're not excused btw...... fail troll of the day.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
I wasn't trolling for starters,. just giving my opinion. :confused:

I have those rights too.

And everyone is allowed a opinion, BUT that doesn't mean all opinions are correct. :rolleyes:

If you were a ID10T you would not be on XDA for starters and you would not be modding the phone's firmware.

I'm not here to hold someone's hand and give them the half truth.

[XPERIA X10 General] LJE:
It seemed like you were ripping on me for my reasons of buying an android..... my bad, I had just opened my eyes and probably read too much into it...

I don't believe android is marketed to "people on a higher level then the average Joe"

Sony Xperia S in Australia This Fall. A long wait.

[XPERIA X10 General] milton.bain:
I got this email :

" Dear Milton,

I wanted to give you some more information about Sony’s intended purchase of Sony Ericsson and what it means for you.

Some things won’t change at all. For example, your existing warranty will remain completely valid and you’ll still get the same great service and support that you’ve been used to. But you will see some important new benefits.

Your Sony Ericsson phone already features great Sony technology. But in future, you can expect even more leading-edge Sony capabilities – and easy connectivity with other Sony products including TVs, PCs and tablets to allow you to share content seamlessly across multiple screens. There will also be more opportunities to enjoy premium entertainment content from Sony including music and film services from the Sony Entertainment Network.

The first smartphone product from Sony, available this Spring, will be the new Sony Xperia™ S

Thanks

Steve Walker. "

[XPERIA X10 General] championswimmer:
x10, arc, active were all kickass devices. not that they have anything new before other phones but they took the market by fire.

x10 was not d 1st 1ghz phone but certainly it shook the Android world, similarly the arc made news only with it's looks and camera.

see xperia s. u think people will buy it for specs? ppl will buy it for that 1.5sec camera and that superb design. and that my friend is good enough to make the phone sellable upto even last quarter of 2012.

Sony phones make heads turn when u show them off at public gathering. the ppl at a party are stunned by looks of a phone. they don't ask for specs. :)

@doom

yep read that thing about devs not jumping ship (vendor)

i guess that's got technical reson too right? (all semc phones have similar flashing, all galaxies have odin, all htc has that s on s off thingy)

moreover once someone uses Sony, it's hard to switch.

touchwiz looks cheap-ish type (while sony uxp has that glossy finish) and sense is sooooo heavy n resource consuming (while sony uxp is much more minimalistic) don't you agree? pls tell u views on that

btw very interestingly sony phones come with huge free space on /system partition and no other vendor has that.
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
abt devs jumping ship there are multiple reasons for that... personal preference, device/vendor user base, device specs, device popularity, device price etc...

i have used android devices from SE, Samsung, HTC, Acer, LG & Motorola... the Samsung devices UI is HORRIBLE and is terribly bloated and the build quality is just too plasticky and iPhoney... HTC is toooo full of SENSE crap, i like the UI but makes the device SO SLOW, though the build quality of HTC devices is brilliant, top notch, premium finish/feel, the only negative point i can think of is that almost all devices looks same, right from the Wildfire to the Sensation, they hardly have unique designs... Acer has unique UI elements but there is not much developer support for most of those device... LG is just pathetic design on the phone, UI wise... Motorola build quality is really good, very sturdy devices but devices are TOOOO bulky and TOOO MUCH LOCKED UP, and the stock android UI (pure AOSP)/MotoBlur is not that great on them... SE has the most light weight & bug free ROM with a very elegant UI, design wise SE are one of the best devices in the market and each device has its own unique design... i hardly have any FC on stock SE ROM... on my friends Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, i got 3 FC & random reboots in 15 mins on new box pack clean stock ROM :p

the only thing that i dont like abt SE devices is that they are relatively locked up (cant flash radio,kernels via recovery)... had they been more "open" i am sure the developer interest would increase...

though Samsung & HTC have some of the most top end (specification wise) devices...

this is the reasons why HTC devices are most preferred by developers... huge user base, very popular devices and fairly open (once u unlock bootloader via htcdev.com)...

yes i know abt that space on /system partition issue... from the feed back i got for the Easy Rooting Toolkit, i can say confidently that Samsung, HTC almost leave NO SPACE on the /system partition, even though they have HUGE /system partitions (500MB to 800MB) there is hardly 5MB free on it... so u can imagine the amount of crap/bloatware in it...
[XPERIA X10 General] Felimenta97:
5 Mb left? I managed, on a custom ROM for X10 MP, to have lots of files, apps and some apps I put on system/app (to avoid losing something, and for more space on /data) and managed to keep 40 Mb left. Detail: The /system partition had 220 Mb, total.

Yes it is a problem for me and maybe for a lot more people who are expecting to buy their first SONY smartphone.

Sony should not have rebranded the S and the Ion if they were going to only rebrand the phone and have "Sony Ericsson" written on everything else.
[XPERIA X10 General] dachao:
It is what it is. That unit that was unboxed was from a SE employee. The content will change from market to market.

As far as I could tell the only accessory that has SE on is the wall charger. the headphones are Sony.
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
i dont get it... how does it exactly matter?

SE have been developing this device and other Xperia 2012 devices, for almost 7-8 months now (may be even more)... so u cant expect a pure Sony product given that the acquisition was just recently completed...

if u want "true" Sony smartphone wait for 1H 2013 / 3Q 2012
[XPERIA X10 General] SEFanX10i:
I didn't mean I expected it to be a true Sony smartphone. What I am saying is it is going to confuse buyers when they see that even though the phone is branded as Sony everything else is Sony Ericsson. Don't you think its a bit weird ? If the Xperia S is being marketed as a Sony device, everything else should have been taken care of and not just the phone being rebranded.

Hence why I mentioned if it was going to be this way, Sony should have sold the Xperia S as a Sony Ericsson and not Sony.

@Dachao

All the accessories and cables except the earphones are branded Sony Ericsson. And all the documentation except one has Sony Ericsson written on them.
[XPERIA X10 General] Yardglass:
I agree that I'd rather the phone and all accessories were branded just 'Sony', but I'd rather just the phone was branded 'Sony' and the rest Sony Ericsson than having it all branded Sony Ericsson. That's just 'cause I think the Sony looks better though. As has been stated - with the timings involved I'm just pleased that they even managed to change the branding they have.
