best phone i ever i had the xperia x10 but this one is the best ,i'm still waiting for IC . October 8, 2012

One of the best phone out yet some features have been removed with the icecream sandwich update like take screenshot, changing back and forth between silent and sound mode from lock screen. but the phone is great. best phone I have had yet. September 14, 2012

great Best phone I've ever owned. 4g it's strong even where my other phones were weak! Great screen and speed. Battery life is awesome! Congress to all my accessories. Worth every penny! September 7, 2012

Hope it has longer battery life Xperia S finally landed US officially, ICS runs very smooth, it has Walkman, nice display, takes good pictures. So far I don't see yellow tint on the display, Sony may have fixed it. But battery won't last long, i need to turn off data transfer to save power. Well, it is Android which tends to consume more power than iOS July 24, 2012
