its really not bad a phone but bigger names like HTC samsung and apple will kill it in sales. Need to market it right.

I like this phone a lot but I don't know about the camera on it. I don't care what the reviews say. The camera on the Xperia S is so-so and I can vouch for that myself. The samples I've seen from this device on this site are also disappointing. Honestly, the camera is the part of the phone I use the most and I need a good camera. I still think it is a good buy though.

At least this one doesn't have that cheap acryllic tacky glow bar. The thick and square design and curved back is very ugly and not good to hold. In fact, it looks EXACTLY like the cheap remote that came with my bargain bin Vizio TV. Remove the buttons, slap a screen on there, voila! The square and flat profile with the excessive curve on the back are not a good ergonomic combination. Why is Sony using this same exact design on EVERY SINGLE one of their phones? Even Samsung phones look slightly different from each other. Sony probably misplaced their design team under a seat cushion and is just resizing the current design using MS Paint. Also considering Sony is suppose to be such a top LCD maker, why do all their screens look so terrible, with very poor viewing angles and strange colors and oversharpness? Coupled with umimpressive 12MP camera, choppy video, choppy UI performance even though it's suppose to be minimalist and dual-core, poor battery life, etc., why would you get this phone even if it is on sale for cheap? You can get older models like the Galaxy S II or the Nitro or the Razr for equivalent or cheaper price.

Talk about being cynical. Sony has some of the best designs around.

After reading the review the Xperia Ion is no longer a phone that I would consider buying, thought Sony would at least spice it up a little bit. Hope the GX comes out soon.

maybe sony read the reviews of phonearena and theverge.com which give this ion a not so good marks.
