i like the new looks. those 3 curved buttons on earlier Xperia gave it a bit of girlish looks. this one looks better. new launcher. perfect.

Add me to the "same feeling" list.
Sorry sam, but this one doesn't look "Manly" enough to me! :D

(PS: Looks more like 'brick'. So Cuboid! :()

well a design change is very much welcomed. look at HTC, same design on all their mobile (button placement). won't say a word about Samsung. A-to-Z all same. LG mobiles too look same once you cross 15k.

a standard electric brick ;-)

seriously..espcially samsung and lg is trying to mimic iphone in their design. why dont they come up some innovative design like what nokia did with their n9/lumia 800.

Just saw the handset.

I liked it...hope it would be made into black too.

And, what tis with Android 2.3?!!!

ICS is already launched...Can't Sony ever catch up with latest Android installment?

@rhitwick comon..this is an old statement...just look around most sony 15+ models r running Android 2.3 on time and would get ICS ...

This one may get ICS just after release

Xperia S MRP is supposed to be Rs.29990. So the street price would be around 28.5- 29k. And no its not launching this month but in March. India launch maybe around mid March.
