In my opinion, many of us consumers predict prices lower than what it actually is when released. For a high end phone with specs like these, it is optimistic to say that for the price being lower than RM2000 as it is late into the dual core game. Yes, on-paper specs might be at par with what should have been released 6-10 months ago, but the performance itself is a big selling point.
Most noticeable example is the GNex. With its specs lower than what many came to expect, 5MP camera, same 1.2GHz dual core months after s2, plasticity construction, many or in fact most people predicted prices far lower than what it turned out to be, some went as far as RM1600 for its "ridiculously low specs".
I might be wrong, however, but judging the way prices of the smartphones are, us consumer for sure anticipating prices like RM1600 to RM1800, but I wouldn't be surprise if it went over the RM2000 mark. Like what you have just said, those are really impressive specs indeed, and OEMs would be more likely to have prices that reflects the value of their products than to have low price for competitiveness. Well, many people still buy GNex at 2.1k and GNote at 2.2k....
Just my 2 cents.
Agree Your 2 cents are definitely worth in Sterling Pounds rather than Ringgit Malaysia
Somehow, i felt that black color Xperia S brings out the most of the transparent thingy (iconic identity). Anyone feels the same? I am really looking forward to get it in white.
Anyhow, is getting a micro-sim from telco free? Cuz my simcard certainly cant fit Xperia S since it needed a micro-sim.
sim card cutter is everywhere. You may request those handphone shop to do for you as well
Okayyyyyy. But just to aid to own-selves information, does requesting for new micro-simcard requires us to pay for a certain of amount? Maxis user here btw =)

i heard it has PlayStation Certificate..woah..must be cool for gaming
To clear your doubts, YESSSSSS its PS certified.. games games games

On side, alamak u guys, she is kind enough to post pics of the phones, but semua komen hanya tau tentang her nails and her thighs LOL.. Sweat big time now...!
Seriously, after doomsday posted the black version of Xperia S. I am much convinced of myself that the black brings out the best of the transparent iconic identity thingy. Anyone agrees?
I dont know if anyone noticed what SoyaCincau said in his video. Its about the camera, its 12mp, meaning there are lots of details being captured, and when you pinch to zoom in, the picture does not rendered properly. Have a look at the video below. @9.00
Thx for the update. Anyone noticed about HuaWei? IMHO, their specs are impressive, needless to mention their price too, same as well. Competitive Huawei =)

I think the models is a good idea too, so that you can try out the camera on them
I rather not having the switch-able bottom thingy. Not impressive after all, it makes more like a kid's toy for me. But the thing that really really impresses me is the changing color in the transparent section depending on the major color of your screen. How i wish its in Xperia S...
About the changing color transparent thingy, weather it is hardware based or software based, I dont think we will have an idea of it unless we know what component that emits the light. My first guess would be a LED, but what type of LED? Normal ones or full spectrum ones? hmm.. Lets just hope that its the full spectrum ones LOL.
The secret to RGB LED color mixing starts with a specialized light emitting diode commonly referred to as a full color or RGB LED, which is the led type used in our RGB strips.
A unique feature of this optoelectronic component separates it from other typical RGB LED lamps. Most light emitting diodes contain only a single internal die, and can produce only one primary color or optical wavelength. However, the full color or RGB LED contains three separate dice, corresponding with three separate colors. By mixing three primary colors, the RGB LED can actually generate a vast array of custom colors.
The acronym RGB originates from the three primary colors, red, green, and blue. The RGB LED package actually contains not one, but three isolated anodes and cathodes. Each of these individual isolated circuits corresponds with one of the three primary colors, commonly referred to as channels. In reality, this RGB LED is a combination of three LEDs packaged within a single case.
But having a LED strip that can change color is not enough, because the strip needs something to instruct it which color to show and when to change, which is the RGB Controller.
The RGB Controller can tell the strip which colors to show, but simple channel switching can produce only seven basic colors including red, green, blue, yellow, violet, aqua, and white. In order to generate additional colors, one or more RGB LED channels must undergo a reduction in output. Rather than reduce total electrical current through the channel, a simple LED color mixing circuit will reduce the LED pulse width. As a result, the light emitting diode will illuminate for a shorter period, causing that particular color or optical wavelength to appear dimmer. By effectively modulating the pulse width of each individual channel, the RGB LED can generate a vast array of unique color combinations. The acronym PWM actually stands for pulse width modulation, we mention also this concept in our entries about LED dimmers.
A typical LED driver incorporating PWM normally consists of an embedded microcontroller. This microcontroller contains the necessary firmware required to generate all desired available LED colors by controlling each individual channel. An engineer will typically program the microcontroller with firmware designed to produce a very specific color routine.
Allowing the customer to specify a unique color routine is primary advantage of the microcontroller when utilized in PWM color mixing circuitry. So as we can see, the basis for dimming and controlling color in an installation of our LetsLED® LED strips is the same, pulse width modulation (PWM).
