Sony returning to the U.S. market with a bang

Yesterday's unveiling of the Sony Xperia ion made us think about the hidden significance behind this announcement. The Xperia ion is not just a new top-of-the-line smartphone by the manufacturer. It represents Sony's commitment to setting its foot on the U.S. market once again...

Yeah the phone is nice and if Sony can release a quad-core monster at MWC, than I can say that Sony is making a comeback:)

I think the casual market still thinks of Sony as a premium and trustworthy brand because of its other products like the PS3 and its Bravia TV's. I believe because of those high-end connections, Sony will force its way into the casual audience, and it has the specs to steal a geeks heart

Looks like a captivate - I wonder how good that 12MP camera will be.....great job SONY (no Ericcson).

I would love to purchase one of these fine Sony products, but for whatever reason their attention is never directed to Sprint. I have other Sony products that the phone will accompany very nicely, but if it doesn't come to Sprint, then to me it doesn't exist.

I love my Galaxy S II, but this is some sick stuff. Way to go AT&T and Sony

I don't think there's a "brand recognition" problem, now that it's just Sony we're talking about.
On contrary, I see mass market being eager to adopt exactly this kind of phone wearing the Sony badge.
When you think about it, Sony is still THE electronic brand in the mindset of average consumer. HTC and Motorola are way behind in that regard.
People need a true alternative to Samsung, and Sony is just that.

oh and yeah, comparing Nokia 900 with this?
ridiculous

actually, here's a dare to phonearena: compare the lumia 900 with arc s, in the standard side to side spec battle (not the new xperia s, but arc s)
my bet is that arc s will put up a good battle. maybe even win.
and then put lumia 900 against ion.
need I even say that ion would absolutely trash it?
I see it winning in EVERY SINGLE column

I prefer the xperia S but this is a strong offering. But by what standards is Nokia lumia 900 a montser offering? I don't see how that phone even compares.

what is the need of these ugly hardware buttons. It just looks like a copy of motorola now. The design does not look anything like sony. The Arc design should have been maintained.

i really love this phone! very iconic and standing out. 12 mp camera... damn cybershots their the best!... bravia engine... damn they make damn great televisions... and sony appliances are so expensive than their korean counterparts... i love japanese technology and everything japan because my mom always tells me japan always love perfection... when a biscuit they plastic gets a minor crack or something... it automatically goes to the garbage...

yup except for x10 which i believe was more of a trial product... i've had an xperia arc as well as xperia mini pro... the ui is beautiful and polished and is not "heavy" so performance dosnt really suffer....
