This design looks great (except the round power button), but i prefer DNA design as it's easier to handle.

Sony camera sensors are great but they must improve the software as the reports about Sony cameras are not good.

It looks very promising unless Sony will release the phone too late.

Is there still any chance that they can improve the battery, yeah i know 2330mah is a decent battery that could probably last a day on a medium use, but if possible iwant something that could last a whole day or more on heavy usage...well i guess u just can't have everything that u want...but still a great phone from sony,

2330mAh is the US model. The world-wide one is significantly larger. And bear in mind, this was just an early prototype.

bro, if you want aawesome backup from sony, do not fear.. i have been on sony since foreva and trust me they do not lose power on anything else as fast as they lose while talking....lol.. once i managed to play radio for like 3 hrs with 5 % battery.heheh
and on android if you want, you can even get one and half day with this fon, just turn of the google location and gps services, i bet it just doubles the sony battery life.!!!
call less ,but if u wanna call too much go for something else. otherwise multimedia..no darn problem. you will never regret my review.

Not to mention Sony contributions to open source which makes it guaranteed you can get latest Android via Cyanogenmod very quickly with few issues, Samsung lied that they would be dev friendly OTOH

I think Sony only have themselves to blame, how come Xperia T was release w/o JB? and how come their camera sucks when they are the top manufacturer of sensors and DSLR?

Hopefully Sony will do better next year.

when you have a micro SDXC slot it actually support up to 2 TB..... Yeah (2048GB)... Only problem is that you can't buy a 2 TB micro sd card atm... And for the 128gb.. it is not available.. it might be in CES or 1Q of 2013 though.

Its easy for sony to climb on 3rd spot even without a quadcore phone. U just wait and see next year. :)

Why would you view it sideway ?

25. XiphiasGladius posted on 18 Dec 2012, 06:56 0 4

Watching videos/photos are better viewed in all angles. Don't get me wrong I have an Experia Arc, the screen on that phones is awesome when viewed head on, but when watching movies with someone else, a slight tilting and the colors and contrast washes out thus making it dull to look at. Also I'm not buying the "why would you view it sideway when you can view it head on" crap anymore. Since it's a high end phone I don't want to see any compromise attach to it. That's just my opinion btw.

Sony needs to sacrifice some parts on the phone so that you wont brag about the price. One thing this is the only high end phone for 2013 that support waterproof. Can u just be happy and no need to worry about ur phone gettin wet.

Xperia P users :) on any angle of screen

Sacrifice some parts of the phone? Yet they price it comparatively with Samsung's high ends? Me brag about the price? Hell no, I'll buy a phone for personal entertainment and not to brag it (I ain't a shallow person). I thought to myself that I should reserve judgement when the final unit is officially release but after reading recent SONY articles both here and over at Xperiablog I got discouraged to buy any SONY phone come 2013 because of the BS they're makin' in regards to updating their 2012 devices. . . Looks like Samsung has a new customer in me. . .
