Just got off the phone with the local Sony Style store in BC Canada and was told by the salesperson they would have the xperia s on April 17. He also said it would be 99.00 on a three year plan with Rogers. I thought that was odd as Rogers has stated they will not be carrying the phone. I asked him if they will carry Sim free versions and he said that there was no info given to him in that regard. Guess it's a wait and see situation.

Thailand released date is March 25th. Just got the phone by pre-order and pick it up today.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Someguyfromhell:
Available in Estonia.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Baxxx:
Got it!!!

looking an dfeeling great, but bootloader-locked (a1 said it wouldnt be, but it is :mad:)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LahiruRD:
Available in France since March 7.

Costs around ~499€ & also there's a 50€ debate (rembourcement). So phone will cost around 449€ sime free of course :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] redragon95:
Available in the US through online retailers, such as Expansys. Also being sold on eBay but not in stores because it won't be released in the US(we get the ion variant with 4G)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] foofiebeast:
please don't remind me that they decided to special design us a larger uglier version of the best looking phone that has come out in years. Ridiculous.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] senne-vdb:
I got mine delivered yesterday from GSMwijzer.be in Belgium for 446.95€. Pretty fast delivery if you ask me: they got my payment thursday around 2pm and I got the phone friday 6pm.

Box contains the phone, EP850 charger, USB cable, standard in-ear buds, 2 NFC tags.

Only problem I have so far is that I can't seem to get the mobile internet up and running for Mobile Vikings. :( They don't have a tutorial on how to set it up just yet, and the settings they send over text don't want to install.

Edit: never mind, got it to work by checking tutorials for other Sony Ericsson Android phones and mixing the settings up here and there. :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] diemort:
BASE already has the Xperia S, but out of stock. The GSMWijzer shop offers a great deal, especially choosing a post-paid plan that gives you a big discount. Unfortunately only 2-year contracts, I need a 1-year one :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] redragon95:
that one's not out yet, at least we can still get the S instead of ion over here. No 4G though but that's not a problem for me because I'll be leaving the US pretty soon.

By the way, if anyone from the US is thinking about getting the Xperia S, there's a $20 discount at expansys, so the final price is $580.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zaimi:
I got mine on march 30 for a cost at MYR1899 original set Thorus warranty includes 5 free accessories worth MYR534 (LiveSound hi-fi headset, car charger with micro usb cable, HDMI cable, screen protector, NFC tag). I bought at Sony Mobile Centre Jusco Perda Penang Malaysia.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dlshadow:
Are there any chances the Fido (Canada) will carry the Xperia S? Or any release dates for Canada ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shahkam:
CANADA : 17TH APRIL i talked whit a sony rep at my local store and he said rogers will get his hands on and maybe best buy !!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MoreYummy:
rogers exclusive again?

What do you mean maybe bestbuy?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shahkam:
Yup rogers exclusive and best buy will get it after a while as well I'm just waiting for them to get it at best buy because I have 50% discount there..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dlshadow:
Long way till the 17th :( and I'm not sure if I want to change to Rogers.

Do you know anything about the price ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shahkam:
The rep did not talk about price he said that's all he knew .. do not change to rogers ever ! I had a 55$ contract and they always billed me for 95$ at the end of the month and they would pull as an excuses its the tax fee's

For pricing i estimate about 500$ sim free or so..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] romiltherock:
Xperia S launched with a huge marketing campaign here in New Delhi, India.

Available in stores from today, the 10th of April. :-)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pixy132:
just received an email that SIM free Xperia S is available in local **** Smith in Australia.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
Talked to a rep here in Canada. They didn't have any pricing on the off contract. Read somewhere that it's supposed to be 99 dollars on a 3 year.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alsaqr:
people should not rush to get this phone until Sony officially resolves and makes a statement about the yellow tint issue

Devices produced till end of week 12(end of March) still have issues depending on your luck 50/50

so i suggest you are sure they Are 12W13 models or later than W13
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
Does it say this anywhere on the box? I doubt that the rep will just let me open the box to check it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DizzyWorm:
South Africa

I saw a tweet that the phone will be available in local stores the last week of April in SA
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] electrash:
Croatia avaiable for a week, got my hands 5 day ago.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SevenFathoms:
Sony Xperia S for Canada:

From what I've been reading and all the news I've tried digging up of when its coming out, so far they all say April 17, 2012 for Canada only at Sony Stores. Others stated that the phone will not be subsidized but others said that Rogers will be offering it for $99.99 for a 3 year contract (through Sony Store I guess) or $499.99.

I got the $499.99 from this link here (at the very end when he talks about prices)

Edit: Oh I made an account to post the link, but I'm not allowed yet. Just search "Sony Xperia S mobile syrup" on YouTube and its a review video of it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dgattenb:
Wanted some tags , so I orded them from amazon , no where did it say they weerre not in stock

I have looked today :

8 April 2012

View Order Details | Printable Order Summary

Dispatch Estimate Tuesday 8 May 2012 - Monday 11 Jun 2012

Delivery Estimate: Thursday 10 May 2012 - Tuesday 12 Jun 2012

Not yet dispatched(What's this?)

Where did everyone else get there tags?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
I can confirm the $499. I went to a Sony Store today to check out the dummy unit. Same size as my current Sensation. Loved the look of it in my hands, (even though it was just a dummy :()

Also, if it's of any use, they are selling the "i" model of the phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SevenFathoms:
Okay, well that's cheaper than I expected. I thought it would have been like $599 or even $699 here in Canada. Well I'm glad to hear :)

And I can't wait to finally get a new phone, my 3 year contract is almost done, and I'm still using Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 LOL
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Imdking:
Damn! Son! That's an old phone! Hehe he!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
I am thinking about pulling the trigger on this. Has anyone bought from expansys before? My other concern is about if the price is going to drop because of the Canadian version. Is it worth it to buy it now? My current phone is an old gsm hero. How is the rom support.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alsaqr:
ive bought from expansys before and they are a Excellent in shipping fast.

What people might not like is their return policy as it might be over 3 weeks to get your money back and they will take a restocking fee between 10-30%

im not sure about prices, but it might not be a dramatic drop until mid summer

Most Xperia S being sold have the yellow tint issue

so i suggest to wait another week, so that you get a newer prouction phone that might not have the issue

back of phone it says for example 12W11

w=week

11=week 11

problem has appeared on phones that are up to week 12

so i guess you 14 maybe be the phones with the fixed screens

good luck
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Good to know, ill try and wait. My other option for retailer was Clove or if anyone has another suggestion then let me know. My hero will have to do for a while.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cwk4207:
i just picked up my xperia s from a sony store here in canada.

the make is 12w14:) but no smart tags were included:(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
Just got mine too. Rep said they will be getting the tags and the Live View watch soon. 30 and 150 (Said he wasn't sure on those).

But hey, got a nice phone for now. I'm just waiting the 30 minutes it said to wait before powering on the phone. This is going to be hell.

Oh god, so much crapware...

I was already to pick one up but unfortunately the 99 dollars deal doesn't apply to existing Rogers customers. Now I get why people switch all the time
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Anyone who bought from Amazon US and already received can tell me what was included on box? I bought mine there, but I will only have it in hands by early May...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] UFO_Sasquatch:
Well I'm ready to take the plunge. Trying to decide on a vendor at the moment. I hope to not have any issues with it here in the U.S. and AT&T. I've read mixed reviews.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ssj_jaypee:
So Rogers finally has this phone?

Bout time! I only got the Xperia S like 2 months ago LOL
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
At least we're ahead of the States :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
If its sold by amazon.com.... then you are getting the Denmark one. It comes with P8500 charger and two smart tags. I bought the last one and just sent it back because of the yellow tint issue.

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

Do you mind sharing some info. Is there a white available? and could you also share price without contract? $499? Did you guys pay tax or that is it?

I would like to get one of them.

Thanks in advance

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

with tint?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
The P8500 is the with fast charger? And two smart tags? Infinite hapyness. Hope it don't have yellow tint issue. Xperia S will take a while to come to Brazil...

Does it have HDMI cable too?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SevenFathoms:
I didn't mind waiting honestly, but anyways:

Sony Xperia S for Canada ... bought mine here in Winnipeg. It includes:

USB to micro USB cable

Charger

HDMI cable

Headphones

That's all it had, so there was no:

No NFC tags

No extra screen protector

No cloth to clean the phone

No car charger

No anything else

So the price being $499 + tax kinds of explains why =p But I'm very satisfied nontheless.

Oh also, the Sony Store in Winnipeg only had black (which was what I wanted anyway).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
Haven't seen white yet, might be coming later.

$499 without a contract +13% tax and a Electronic disposal fee (which is a penny) $565 in total.

The phone WILL be locked to Rogers untill the devs find a way to hack the phone using the test points (if it is still possible).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
No, there is no HDMI cable. And unless you get lucky, yellow tint could appear when phone gets hard and believe me doesn't take you long to make the phone hot.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Ok. Thanks for the info. Can't wait to get it in hands :D

I am really bad lucky, but I hope I don't have nothing. My X10 MP (sinlge core, OC'ed to 768 Mhz) get hot really easy when on Wifi and charging. The yellow tint make the using experience worse? (Videos, games, browsing in general, or touch itself).

Again, thanks for Info.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
All the yellow tint is a blob of tinted screen in Yellow. You could notice the most on a solid background like yellow or gray. In colorful stuff, you could hardly see it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Some info on the Russia/CIS retail package: EP850 charger, two tags, HDMI cable, USB and standard earphones. Some people don't get the tags, but they should be there.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alsaqr:
Congrats on your phone

i hope you dont have any issues like us

Could you test the phone if you dont mind to see if the yellow tint issue appears or not ?

test it by plugging it in the charger and start watching videos or playing games till it gets over 40 degrees.

then check if the screen gets a yellow color over the the home button or on the corners of the screen

thanx
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Can you send me a link of where the phone was actually sold by Amazon. All the ones I saw through Amazon were other vendors, which means there is no way of truly telling. Also if you did get it from one of the vendors, which one?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Xperia S price on Amazon is dropping really quick. It was USS 640 a few weeks ago. It's USS 575 now...

I went to vodacom and they said they are expecting the units to be available the last week of april, or atleast somewhere around the 24th and onward... So this should be for all the local stores i.e mtn, cell C, vodacom...etc.

To buy in Singapore

A friend of mine want to orde one in white from her friends in Singapore. The question is whether it's available SIMfree and without any mobile contract. And what would be the best way to buy SXS with cash or cashless?

Thanks in advance for every reply)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alsaqr:
People

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE untill Sony says that they fixed the yellow tint issue. Or that you are 100% sure the phone has been tested in temperatures over 42

PEACE
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
Sony did fix the issue... the problem is that I don't believe they recalled all the faulty units. So, if you buy online it's really a gamble.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tchamberlin:
Just got mine from Rogers yesterday for 149.00 using upgrade. HDMI and wall charger included only. Only black is available and unfortunately the Rogers crap apps were on it. Seems to me if Rogers does not support it we should not have to have their applications installed. No accessories were available at the store such as cases and such.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ssj_jaypee:

Mine is a 12W14
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:

Where you bought yours if you don't mind me asking?

I bought it yesterday, and it's properties are: AAAB, 12W11, and touch firmware 7.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tel033:
Hi does anyone know if clove in uk have already the new stock with revision ab.. And further?? Cause they don't know the batch beacuse they can't open the box in order to see it thanks!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alankstiyo:
In Mexico it'll be available starting on may 15
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Imdking:
So, should i understand the absence of the Xperia S in the U.S. this late into the year as an indicator that it's not coming all? Can't even order it from Canada. I know, I know... "get it from Expansys.com". Those prices are exorbitant!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Amazon has good prices on it. Get it from global mobiles.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Just so it get noted, Xperia S and P are coming to Brazil in June, and U in July
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ThilinaC:

Released around few days after Indian release,thinking to get one around september :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
July 13th in the US with ICS through sonystyle.com Semi-solid release date.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Is this the S or the ion you are talking about and can you post a link to where you saw this.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
Replied to your pm but I'll reply here too. The ion should be available from ATT on or about June 10. The xperia s should be available from sonystyle.com and Sony stores unlocked with ICS in or about July 13.

Don't have a link. It's from someone I know at Sony US.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Good man lets hope this is true. It would be nice to get an actual Sony warranty in the US. Still trying to decide if I should go for an Ion or get the better looking Xperia S again.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
Yeh they are both really nice devices. Played with both for awhile at CES. I'm torn between which one I like better. I like the looks of the XS but the bigger screen of the ion is sweet.

Having an unlocked XS though is good for roms and stuff.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
just got word the Ion was moved to the 24th of June for release. It has finished technical testing with AT&T this past week.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
what a terrible release schedule. any word on a us xperia s release?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
still July 13 with ICS through sonystyle.com
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Imdking:
So it got moved BACKWARDS, not forward. Got confused for a wee bit. Actually kinda convinced myself it was moved forward from the July date....... Mmmmmph. Oh well!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dachao:
Since you are well informed. What are the chances that AT&T is going to get the still unannounced Xperia MINT lt30?

Based on rumors the phone is supposed to be available in September/October.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
I'll see what I can dig up.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Trying to decide if i should wait for the us xperia s release or just buy one off of global mobiles amazon. Having the sony warranty might be nice and there could be a price drop. I could get the ion too but i think the s will have better development and rom support.

What do you guys think?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dachao:
I got the international XS and have the yellow screen problem but no warranty.

Called the US and Hong Kong support center without any success.

They refuse to fix the phone.

My advise would be to wait for the US variant of the phone just because of the warranty.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
I'd bet money that ATT wont be getting mint or hyabusa till the very end of this year or beginning of the next. Look at the terrible release time table of the Ion.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
When asked if any other phones were coming out for AT&T I was told to see if I can find anything about "mint". So I'll take that for what it is....a not so subtle hint. ;)

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

I am trying to see what Sony US will do about the yellow screen as I have it too on mine.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dachao:
Good luck. Let me know how it goes. I will try to contact them again once the US version is out. By that time the US service centers should have parts.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
I'm not too worried about the warranty thing because most problems appear within 30 days and that's what the amazon time period is.

My questions are if the bundle will be different for the Xperia S us version. If the cell radio will be tuned for US reception. Also if ATT will be getting the red Ion because it looks quite sweet. Also I wonder if the Ion dock got cancelled too like the Xperia P dock. Otherwise I think I might buy my S today or tomorrow.

Spectre, you got any info on these things?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Imdking:
The LT26i has all the UMTS bands for all regions, including 850 MHz for AT&T. Check the spec sheet. There is no need for an "a" version of the phone. The only people that get no dice are American T-Mo customers because they need 1700 MHz for upload.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Even though I ordered my Xperia S, I still want to know if the Ion is going to have a locked bootloader. If it doesn't I may pickup one of those instead. I guess I have 30 days to figure it out though so it isn't a huge deal.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dachao:
The Ion will be out on the 24th for $99 on contract.

As far as i know, on FNAC and Expansys, for now they are the only shops i've seen that are allowing to pre-order and will be shipping on 6th March. Any other shops don't talk about Sony's phones.

What is the source of Irish release date - have not seen anything more specific than "March Release" which was given from Carphone Warehouse.

Just Looked at their new phone guide for march and it seems it will only be available on o2, Meteor & E-Mobile in Ireland (Well at launch at least).
