It's a Sony...
By Juan Vega
I've always been a Nokia user, and this is my first non-Nokia phone. I like to customize my phones, so an iPhone was out of the question. The new Nokias are quad-band only, which makes them now useless to me since I'm on T-Mobile USA. So I could only turn to Android.There are only a handful of pentaband Android phones, namely the Nexus ones and some obscure options, and this Sony. The Nexus 4 is a terrific bargain, but the lack of a dedicated camera button was a deal breaker to me. I love taking pictures, and a software-only shutter makes it kinda awkward to me. Also, the N4 has a bigger screen and round shapes, which I dislike.Processor cores and screen resolution are largely irrelevant to me, since all apps seem to run acceptably well even on 1 or 2 years-old phones, and to watch HD content I'm largely happy with my HDTV. So, I chose this phone based, primarily, on its pentaband capability, on its looks, and on its being a Sony.As all non-Nexus phones, this one came preloaded with (admittedly) a not-so-obscene number of crApps and a couple of really beautiful and useful ones (namely, Sony's widgets). Sony's customizations to Android are not as obstrusive or colorful as some others (I got to handle Samsungs, HTCs and Motorolas while deciding, by the way), but really add usefulness and elegance to the phone, IMHO.What was really lousy was Sony's launcher. It's... rather monolythic, limiting. In such a harmonious package, the launcher feels rather dated. Even the leaked Xperia Yuga launcher feels like just makeup. So, I ditched it for Nova but the native Sony widgets won't work with it. But, there are some options to replace them (unfortunately, the replacements are not quite as beautiful or as well thought...).Now, to remove some of the crapware and to run an automation app I needed root access. And the only way to keep root access no matter what is to unlock your bootloader and install a rom. And the good news is that Sony itself will help you unlock your bootloader. If you are the daring type, you just won't care about this voiding the warranty. But if you do care, just leave the bootloader alone.I'm very happy with my phone. Almost no lags despite running Ice Cream Sandwich (in that department, Sony announced the Jelly Bean update rollout for this model will start sometime in February 2013), beautiful design and solid hardware (I mean, quad-core HAS to be better, but honestly, all my apps run well enough for me. I haven't noticed that much of a difference, if at all, while looking at my phone next to a Nexus 4). The camera takes excellent pictures: even in macro mode the depth of field is so narrow that the edges of a 10 dollar coin look slightly blurred when I took a macro shot! And it has a SD card slot! And of course, the well known (to me, at least) Sony build quality.The only cons I've found, this far...Battery life. On the stock rom, battery life is AWFUL. I don't know why. Maybe the crApps try to sync all the time or whatever. But the battery drain is CRAZY on stock rom. Maybe uninstalling stuff would work (Titanium backup might help, but I think it requires root access anyway), but it made me consider returning the phone after just a couple days. After I replaced the stock rom with Xperiment 1.5 (a stock-based rom) the battery life noticeably improved. Hopefully, the Jelly Bean update will address this battery life thingy.Autofocus speed and accuracy in low light. Depending on the contrast and the distance to the subject, it can take AGES to lock focus, or even miss it completely, IN LOW LIGHT. I don't know why. And I haven't found a workaround. Maybe in the next firmware release, but right now, even my ages-old Nokia N8 outperforms this one in the low-light-focusing department. Other than this, the Xperia T has an excellent camera with enough options. Also, the pulse led flash works very well and doesn't give the pictures that nasty blue hue or the spot reflection...To conclude, this phone is great out of the box, and excellent if you put the time and effort necessary to customize and optimize it. It's very well worth it.Pros:-Design-Size...-Camera-Official bootloader unlocking (but voids the warranty)-SD card slotCons-Battery life (on stock rom)-Low light focusing speedCheers!

By Tim McCoy
New phones are always exciting and this one has met all of my expectations! Coming from the HTC HD7, I think this one is a much better choice. Fast internet even when away from WiFi, good screen and picture, 13mp camera is only 4:3 ratio but has 10mp at higher ratio (16:something). Android apps are plentiful and Sony is ultra reliable.Great seller product.
