Just letting everyone know that Sony Store has all Xperia Tablet S accessories on sale 50% off. I just got the stand with 3 usb ports and an hdmi port for $50. Everything else half off as well. The stand rocks.

Thats a bummer. Didnt realize they would be like that? Maybe its just a matter of time and they will have the sale?
Does this mean the xperia tablet s is at 'end of life'?

My local Sony store currently has the XTS at 100£ off.
Clearly trying to get rid of all stock and drop support, awaiting the Xperia Tablet Z.

Does anyone know if Sony is coming up with Xperia Active 2? I mean after sony brokeup with ericsson.
Are there any rumors that I might not be aware of?
Because I am planning to buy Xperia Active in a month or so. So should I go buy it or wait up?
Also one quick question: Does motoactv work with xperia active?
You can check Sony Developers blog sometimes, new phones are usually announced there.
And I haven't heard anything about Active 2.
Xperia Active is very recent so I guess nothing new is coming. And in case it did, Sony would have announced it by now along with Xperia S, P and the other one with the strange screen.

Sony might announce new phone(s) any time.
The active was along the same lines as st15 and sk17. A mini. Since sony hasnt rumored anytging and since its a new device, its highly unlikely... The only company that does these shenanigans is motorola. They released the defy+ mid october, and now they are releasing a new rugged one... Go figure...

I live in Europe and the Xperia S has been out for a while but quite a while I've been doubting about the fact if I should get the Xperia S or wait for a new device by Sony. Lots of phones get announced. But a lot of these are not coming to Europe or take way to long to get released.
I currently got a HTC Desire and its becoming really slow and annoying so its really time to upgrades.
If you spend all your life waiting for the next phone you will never buy one, the Xperia S is brilliant.
Go with the XPS. We're not getting the GX (confirmed-ish), and you can maybe hope for the Ion. But not much else from Sony really.
If you want a smartphone that in 10 hours with a medium use drain the battery completely, buy Xperia S.

I understand that. But for example, I wouldn't want to get a Galaxy S II a month ago just to have the S III be released this month. Trying to avoid that happening.

BS!
SXS battery won't be worse than Desire's!
I bought SXS less than a month ago, switched from Galaxy Nexus and I don't regret it. You shouldn't focus only on hardware. User Experience is the most important thing. It's UX what makes you pleased when you use your phone and Sony (SE) knows how to make good UX. Aaaand it will get 4.0.4 soon, so you will have latest and greatest with better copy,cut,paste and way better google apps.
Hardware-wise this phone is gorgeous. It's got that "it", that cool-factor which makes everybody look twice on it and it's transparent bar on he bottom is just wow!
One more thing. It's got one of the best auto brightness I've ever seen on Android device. You don't hear something like this very often, but I think it is a detail which makes using YOUR phone pleasant. You don't have to fight with it. Finally it just works and you can forget about it
Just my 2 cents ^^
The XS is Sony's most powerful phone for this year (at least concerning Europe...)!
If you like it, I can absolutely recommend it.
Coming from a SGSII, there are TONS of reasons why I like Sony a lot more then Samsung... (Including the auto brightness, which IS brilliant!)
The Xperia S is great, and it recently dropped in price too (at least in Belgium). From €499 to €449 RRP. You can find it for around €400 easily. Which is a steal for this phone!
Get the store attendant to open the box and show you the build code before you buy, make sure you dont get an early one that will likely have the tint.
buy it....

well, xperia S is international version of xperia ion ( well not exactly the same but you can say so). so as long as I know there is no ion for europe. and believe me if there is a place that xperia S is worth buying in, is europe. I wish I lived in europe so I could use any phone I liked. right now Im using xperia play r800i and its not working well here since its international version and not U.S version. so yea bro buy it. if u listen to me, dont buy it the same day it comes, let it b for a month then buy it, because at first they boost the price to jump the selling. i did this mistake with tablet s and bought it for 400 and now they sell it for 300 to students.. i bought it the very first day it came out.
Well, I've just been to the store again to check everything there is and still the Xperia S is my most wanted phone. My only thing against it now is the fact that the battery can't be replaced.
Is it really unreplaceable even when voiding warranty?

You can change it, but there arent any available YET. Its not simple either, so its not like you'd carry a spare, but if say in 18 months you wanted to replace the pack it'd be straight forward enough as long as you have the write screw bits for getting into a phone.

I understand that it may be a issue for you, but seriously why would you want to replace it? It's a integral part of the phone so it's covered by the same 2 year warranty. If it will brake you will have it replaced
I have decided. I will be ordering my black Xperia S tomorrow morning.
I'm very happy
Hello,
I sold my Xperia after some time and I can tell you the Bravia Engine and little customisation from Sony is great. The feel of phone in your hand is also good. Also, the xperia U/P/Go/Sola/ other devices are very good gadgets and they have enough support from developers.The LED bar in Xperia U is truely awesome and it could change colours just made it epic. If you are go for looks and beauty, certainly these devices are for you. Performance is good usually but not good enough in some case. (the price is not too high)
What are the factors that disappoint you ?
I will tell you mine what I can think of:
*Usually no expandable memory and in some case, battery is fixed.
*Bugs in ICS with no real support from Sony on these devices
*Bad battery life although I turned off the LED bar and used it with zero brightness. Still couldnot last more than a day on average use.
*My charger started to take long time to charge and it was quicker to charge via USB cable. In the beginning the charge time was epic. Just about an hour to charge it fully.
*NO SUPPORT FROM SONY AND UPDATES COME VERY VERY LATE AND DEVICES ARE ONLY SUPPORTED FOR MONTHS.
*NOT REAL LOUD SOUND
UPDATE :
I bought another Xperia
You forgot Xperia sola
Because of ICS laggy update, no support of Sony, no jelly bean update for Sony xperia u and poor service
im currently using xperia sola for about a year. ive tried a couple other xperia phones '12 like u, p, s, j and sony didnt good that much of a work. this mid price range devices dont have great potential (using sony's stock os). that unfortunate thing is that if you want to make your devices OK you have to do lots of stuff(root unlock bl etc etc you get the idea). but most of the people dont know about xda-flashing rom etc.they just stay at gb or stock ics and complain,or choose to buy a more mainstream devices and this results to not jave that great potential from xperia mid price range device community.
Sorry for my bad english. :angel:
No, I have all my phones still
Ericsson T68m
2x Sony Ericsson T68i (one brand new in box)
2x Sony Ericsson T230
Sony Ericsson T610
Sony Ericsson T630
Sony Ericsson K510
2x Sony Ericsson W810 (Black + White)
Sony Ericsson C905
Sony Ericsson Elm (J10i2).
Did have another T230 and two K550's but lost track of them).
I hate my Xperia U, performance sucks (on stock and CM9), if I see a good deal I'll replace it, but still wouldn't sell the U.
I would sell Xperia U because of inadequate RAM and unavailability of separate recovery partition.
I'd be lucky to get anything for an Xperia P, after having this device a year I hate it, looking forward to a new phone at the end of this month, probably won't be a Sony due to my Xperia p experience

I am so regretful for having sold my xperia active. Now I have an Xperia Go, is not as powerful as I wish but it is ok. I change my rom once in a while and I am so happy with it.
I was so scared to unlock the bootloader of my X.Active and never did. I guess if I had, I still would have my old phone and never bought another one. Bricking and unbricking your phone and change roms from XDA devs is so funny that you will forget about all the new phones coming out every day.
as for myself, maybe i'd only sell my X-Sola if it's decommissioned, forced to retire, or got a rival phone in my pocket.. it's quite great actually, after tampering with it a lot of customization..
overall, i'm lucky to choose this one..

In a way I regret selling it as i didnot want to spend too much on a phone now so I bought HTC Incredible S which I changed to HTC chacha. I am not happy with both either but atleast the small screen on my HTC chacha doesnot distract me too much from playing games, reading forums, news etc. The main reason I sold it was that I couldnot concentrate much on anything really. Just me and my phone. I am not sure what will happen when I get the New nexus 7

TRUE, I just hate that they didnot update it to JB when they could. They talked about the hardware support on NovaThor but I guess they could have ported JB easily on all devices which were only few months old.

I agree. Xda is amazing. Really I have found so many helpful developers who are working on it without really getting paid. You should always be thankful to developers and those who are helping you out. Trust me, I find almost everything here. I usually do not need to programme at all to do whatever I want to do with my device. Thanks Xda

To be honest really, the devices are monsters. Many of the apps that are written wouldnot work with your device in google play, I have managed to play them really smooth. However, I have noticed that some games/apps won't work on ICS latest build but run very smoothly on GB and Custom roms. I guess ICS was complete failure in terms of its potential.

Well, ram is an issue. If Xperia U had 1 Gb ram and Sd card, this device would be epic but manufacturers always keep something to themselves so a person changes his phone often and they get more profit

I agree, I am also thinking of not going for Sony for atleast next 3 to 5 years looking at my experience. I prefer Nexus more with more freedom. HTC on the other hand is more complicated to unlock, Root, Get S off etc before you can flash roms. Plus, it is a pain to flash official Stock Rom for HTC which was much easier with Sony. So for the moment, these both companies are out of my league!

I remember rooting and unlocking my first device. I was scared and only think I had in my mind were thoughts of it getting bricked, damaged, burnt, short circuited and what not. Tell you from experience, for all the years I am doing it, I had so many bricks and every device came back to life in the end. However, I am yet to see a hardware issue!
Yeah definitely thinking of an android vanilla device, HTC comes with way to much crap and is not fun to root.

well i think that everyone would get a better devices for a little small amount of money.for instance i bought sola for 280 euros and that price was the same month that it came on market.now xperia sola cost 160-180 tops and with 300 euros now i would get htc dezire x. which is a pretty good phone.my point is that sony is awful and maybe ill never get a sony phone again:angel:

Well, if you wait a bit more and you will get nexus 4 for around 320 Euros or less or maybe even Galaxy S3.
It is always like that. Once the technology gets older, its price drops really quickly. Just think how much Nokia E72 costs now ?
when my dad contracts end or mine i will get his s4

nexus 4 already is 320 euros.my point is that if u wait a little bit longer and still use an old device you can get a better one.and also you may get caught like me and think that the device you pick was the best casue.companies first release mid range devices and not the biggest ones..and i was a fool to believe that sola, u, p with the exeption of acro s that they where good...
you forgot to write down sola ?
To less RAM
I would sell it because the Sola has to less Ram for smooth using, and the Display is to small for me :/

I'd wait for it, since it's newer, it has more posibilities to still getting updated in a future and it's slightly faster than the xperia tablet z. Anyway if you already own one, you should keep it

I sold my Z Ultra several months ago and totally regret it. I have had iPhones, a Note 3 and now have a Nexus 5 but I am selling it and getting another Ultra - I really loved the phone particularly the media and gaming experience on it and I was an idiot to sell it! I'm also going to get the bluetooth headset too as I think it will be really useful particularly as it can be used as a phone (so I read) :good:
The same think happened to me exactly as this I now have another new white z ultra loving best phone out there.
I got the HTC one max after selling my z ultra and most nights I do cry my self to sleep... haha. I have got myself a Z1 compact aswell to handle my cravings for Xperia xperience but it is not near the level of the ULTRA but expected. Plus the missus got the all new flashy z2 so I'm upset. I'm hoping there will be a new ultra to go with the very few rumours out therw

Really because I can now buy a brand new one in the UK for around £250 - less than half what it was when it first released. I wont be able to afford the ZU2 straight away.
If there is a new 1 I will have to try save for it hoping there is quite a few changes

The SXUltra has dropped in price by well over 60%, they are now cheaper than any other comparable phablet. To me its a no brainer. If you like the Ultra buy it yesterday at those prices!
I am not privy to any inside information from Sony. As the Ultra has not been a particular success for the company I would question if they are going to release a second Ultra? They are a very niche market product and expensive when they where introduced. It will be interesting to see if Sony do produce some sort of Ultra 2. The company is losing millions per day though is greatly improving.

I've heard a 6.2 inch is in the works. I had a Z2 but swopped it for a Z1 so that it matched my Z Ultra. Anyway I now have best of both worlds, great camera in one and huge screen in the other
