you heard of accidental drops? my statement was what's the use of unibody? nothing special.

Yes sony always very slow one... for hardware they slow implementor thus they attract user on design n camera... for firmware... yes they slow but not as slow as moto/htc & the firmware update slow but stable not like samseng... heard they even have update for their tablet but in the end the wifi broken... need to wait another update...

Based on Arc xperience... they deliver their promises:
- provide unlocked bootloader
- deliver scheduled updates
- no major bug
- deep integration in FB

Added on March 11, 2012, 9:57 amowh gosh... I just heard it... you've named accidental even you don't have unibody if you drop at a critical part... you still need to change the phone... If u have frequent accidental drops in the past... better get Active or Defy... I've mention frequent drops didn't I?

Now I get it. Coz I wonder what is unibody.

smashpop say is coming to Malaysia on April. Hope is not true. Wanna get it this week!

dude...u must be new in this thread rite?

it's already announced that there will be an event for X-S on 15 March!

and Digi and UMobile also open for registration liao....

Who don't like the XPS can sell me cheap2..

Go get iPhone 4s and be happy. I profit, you profit

i do
btw can test the xps on any telco shop like digi
i never done it b4

If they do show the demo unit, you can test it out.

Hi all, I'm new here- been stalking this thread since v1, pretty much read everything and you've 90% convinced to get the X-S

Just a few things I've noted though...
(1) battery problem? so far no one has confirmed if completing a few charge cycles (whatever that is- charge, use till dry, recharge?) will stabilize the battery usage. Also read the software updates might solve battery problems- though how, I dunno (android noob here).

(2) Yellow tint on screen? Hopefully it's just a Taiwanese problem... though if it happens here I hope we can exchange it with the warranty, like iphone users did?

(3) I see yeelin04 has staff discount... first ever post here and I'm already asking for a discount. Embarassing

@yeelin04: how does it work? I join the list, and then go to sony mobile in pyramid to pay and collect- that simple? Can choose between color and all (I haven't decided)... and I'm also actually still leaning a little towards the X-P. Just a little though :3 Please advise

how do you stalk if you just join today ?

This is an open forum, you know.

You don't need an ID to read, only need an ID to post~

New to thread? Can say so as didn't read and check every single page.
As I know 16th March launching is official now?
Btw, where the event will be?
Ya, Digi and Umobile open for registration I know.

All smartphone also drain battery like hell de la with 3G + none stop using. I use iphong 4S b4 and it drain like mtfk compare to my SE Xperia Neo.

Samsung yes last longer because of 2500 mah battery eventhough is 5.3 inch. Sony Xperia S is 4.3 inch with 1750 mah. U wan me tell u how calculate battery consumption? Alot factor affect it.

So solution? go buy yaobao battery if u need extra battery badly.

Btw i tod Xperia S was a fast charging devices?

Yes fren I got u...I do have i4, 4s and note...no doubt iPhone battery drain very fast..but with their USB charge, it can be recharge in short period of time...I realize for Sony USB charge, it charge very slow.... I Duno whether xps is fast charging devices...at least when u try USB charge yst, it does not..

I am not first day using phone...I knw a lot of factor consider in...I always switch btw edge and 3G, low brightness, off gps and those unnecessary...but battery still drain fast...

I observing how the usage for full charge by today and share around here...

Your post not organize. The quote tag doesn't function well.

Appreciate with your comments. Different user experience different performance from a same phone model. This is the input that we need. Hope you can give more information after a few life cycle of battery charge.

I anticipated the battery life might drain fast, that's why I get an external battery pack just in case. Last long battery life is essential but it's not crucial to me. If battery life really bother me, I would rather get a normal keypad phone without touch screen. That give us maximum battery life for couple of days.

I think one of the reason as to why battery drains out so quickly is because of the animation at the start up screen.

If battery life is a problem, I would've stopped owning smartphones 4-5 years ago. I have to be as smart as my smartphone, especially if you're a data intensive user like me. I've never had a problem with battery life because:

1) Everytime I find a charger I charge (as recommended by Sony-incerases battery life especially for the first few full charge cycles)
2) I have a car charger that I can plug into which is the first thing I do as soon as I get into my car.
3) I have my detachable USB charging cable plugged into my work computer all the time with a standby charging head plugged in at the power socket so I can USB charge it or detach the cable to use with the charger for quick charge.
4) I use my MW-600 bluetooth headset whic gives me freedom to talk & listen to music while the phone's charging or it would be really messy.

Battery problem solved, I NEVER complain about my battery life eventhough all my smartphones would probably last 1/2 day maximum with my user habits Current radio usage for all smartphones is really sinful that it's unpractical and unwise to expect 'good' battery life. Deal with it and be creative.

Btw, Xperia S has fast charging feature right? A 10-minute charge can get you 1 hour of talk time, and charging can reach to 80% in 30 minutes only before it starts to charge normally so I guess that's a start

Sorry use too much of quote, typing with iPad on bed...hehehe...

Battery life is crucial for me...I admit I am degil, if wan battery life, go bak small screen, non touch screen...tat one ca. Last 3 days also can...but human being, we wan more...tq hehehe...

Added on March 11, 2012, 1:27 pm1) every time I find a charger I charge?? Battery lifespan ma very fast kong?
2) most of time is office base, sometime required some field work move around...yes I do have car charger as well..

xps really has fast charging features? Anyone can confirm on this? Maybe dr first batch user like yeelin and ninja can comment on this?perhaps tonight I also c how long it take to charge fr 0-100%

Confirm http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/sony-xperia-s...led-02-02-2012/

You need to see how long it charges to 80% because this feature only activated till 80%, then it charges as normal

i can say this phone is perfect
