generally love mine, great looks, size, screen and camera, functions well generally and fast enough for me. Only bugs are lack of ICS and battery life, but bnoth are manegable and planned updates to sort in the next 1-2mth

I still think its the best smartphone out there, OneX and SG SIII are too big and expensive, and no real feature gains for me.

Hi, Patel! My Xperia S is the best phone ever. I love it from the buttom of my heart. The screen is very bright and it's HD. The CPU is blazing fast and 3D HD games like Shadowgun run extremely smooth. The Wi-Fi Sharing with my PS3/VAIO PC (or if I had a Wi-Fi TV) works like a beast, super fast - sharing is great. Also, talking about sharing, the Fb integration is amazing and very deep... And much more :smileywink:!...

In conclusion I advice you to buy it :smileygrin: :smileylaugh:!

Have the Xperia S since end of March, had a fault after a week, and the ISP replaced with a new one, since then no problems, apart from a couple of reboots (I suspect due to some software bugs).

Overall I'm happy with the device so far, and am curious to see how ICS will improve the general use of the device (not just for the sake of having the latest!) although will propably wait a few days and watch this space for the brave few who will install first.

Battery time is always the issue with big screen phones, and will only last you one day in practice (with conservative use), so need to be close to a charging point, e.g. in the office etc.

just wait for the Xperia GX, if you like to take a lot of videos and/or pictures this is not the phone for you, the pix look amazing on the phone but once you transfer them to a computer or upload them, they look HORRIBLE.

Guys do you have any idea when is the Xperia GX will be launched in India

Re: Buying new Xperia S

Uliwooly — Tue, 22 May 2012 06:34:30 GMT

the Xperia S seems like the new version of the X10 with all it's issues

like the poor picture quality, horrible video recording, the ear speaker is too low, battery life horrible, poor housing materials.

I hope the GX doesn't have this issues
