Sony Xperia S available beginning of March, already on preorder
Clove UK issued a note for its customers that they will have the first batches of the Sony Xperia S with the mighty 12MP Exmor R camera sensor and 32GB of internal memory starting the week of March 5th.

You can actually preorder now for the fairly expected price of around $700 unlocked, which, as these things go, will likely translate to $100 or so bucks lower in the US. Of course, the US has the Sony Xperia ion on AT&T's LTE network to worry about, but it shouldn't be far behind.

Just a refresher - both phones have HD screens and dual-core chipsets - all firsts for the company, along with the strictly Sony logo, again a novelty for its handsets, after the break-up with Ericsson. Unfortunately, the Xperia S ships with Gingerbread, which should turn into Android ICS in Q2 of this year. We made a bunch of camera and video samples with the unit we handled at CES, to aid your decision.

Pre-order price is normally high :P It will for sure be between 500 and 600 when it lands :)

Plus, it's unlocked so..

update wont be ready untill march. it takes time to integrate with the Sony's custom ui and to prepare and test the device drivers for the components like Camera and other sensors..

Have paitience.

That video showed the main thing I do not like about Android at the moment. I have a Transform and my wife has an Optimus S and I always mix up telling her how to find something. In the video he started saying he was going into settings but it was a different setup from his usual phone evidently. I do the same thing as well I hope once ICS hits more this clears up.
