wait a bit more and see whether jelly bean is good or not, and then decide, although jelly bean for other sony 2012 phones are also somehow buggy
currently, i advice: DON'T BUY IT! unless you are fine with a slow and buggy and battery hungry phone
Battery hungry is an understatement

True, but the big screen is great for videos and gaming. Camera is decent and phone is well built and sturdy. Get the international version for the unlocked bootloader and more custom roms.

Just got it myself. I'm happy. Want my opinion? Just get it.
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
If you want custom or modded ROMs, you should buy Xperia S, SP. Or if you want a phone with better specs buy the Ion or Acro S.
Maybe you can take a look at HTC One S? It has got some decent specs. It has only 16 Gb inbuilt memory though and there is no MicroSD slot, but as you come from Xperia U, I think that it may be enough for you.

I really like my Ion, for the price it is amazing really. Even if you're stuck with 4.1, I think it's worth it. Or you could save up longer and get something with longer support.
Sent from my LT28at using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Get SP, Ion is getting outdated for now.
Actually SP I can't pay that much. In my country which is India price difference is there a lot between two. I would had gone for SL but it has 26 gb storage with no memory card slot, As for one S it's spec aren't as good as Ion.

The ion is a great phone, if you can unlock you bootloader. I like my ion but with an unlockable bootloader I'm just bored as hell. For me, my future phone choice will come down to bootloader status as much as specs.
Having high end components but not be able to do anything with them is pointless.

It's up to u,if u care about the size of screen, u can choose it but jelly bean update for ion not yet released by xperia.
Ion has got micro HDMI on the same side as the usb (useful for doking it) and micro SD card for more MP3 and video.

Well, if you're talking about display, camera and other features, then yes. However, performance of the One S is much better because of the Krait processor and Andreno 225 GPU.

Don't bother with the HTC one s unless you want to be part of the disgusting home button bug. It's annoying and hardware fault. I WAS gonna get that phone to. Google search and YouTube that bug before considering that phone.
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
thanks for all your replies..the only thing thats holding me back now after seeing all views is limited development for Ion.
Dude, get it.
It's a beautiful phone and since ur getting it in India the bootloader will be unlockable.
As far as development is concerned, yes ion has a very less choice.. But devs have brought the major roms cm, pa and slimbean also better stock kernels.... As far as other mods are concerned most of the xperia s ones are usable, like u had in xperia p, u and go.
Oh and the screen is awesome.

Call it fake or mockup or whatever, there is a strong rumor that Sony will be releasing Nexus Phone this year.
And how is a Sony Nexus different from the Xperia T? Or rather, what exactly is a Nexus? Also, I'm more interested in the rumored quad core Sony phone that was leaked last week.

In general, a Nexus device gets the latest updates faster than any other phone. They usually set the bar for where Google thinks the platform should be at. All of the manufacturers will have their own flagship devices, but none of them will get updates faster than a Nexus device.

So a breakdown of some stats:
MSM7227 Snapdragon processor (I assume 1 gHz max)
3.5 inch screen
3.2 MP camera
1500 mAh battery
Launching on JB (E dual will launch on ICS with JB update coming after. Thank you Felimenta97)
But there are no standout features except for possibly the dual SIM which was featured on another Xperia phone this year (Xperia tipo I think). If anyone wants to add on to the list feel free to do so.

Well, not anymore (in terms of specs, at least). E and J were the last very low end phone of their line. Now is just medium to high end. They want to be a premium company. Even their "low end" phones are gonna be medium ones. Wait for a event soon... (Not sure when, as looks like they won't be at MWC).
and still they decide to release FF OS for this particular device!

we're not "god damn" obliged to answer you either
1) the graphics aren't "f***ing" bad - it's just that the S3 is newer and much more expensive. for the price we bought our arc at the display is not bad at all actually I dare say its better than over contrasted and over saturated super amoled.
2) you're playing a game of course it will get hot. you mean other phones don't get hot? unless, or course, its very hot even when you leave it on idle.

Hi
I own a Xperia S since a few weeks and someone is going to give me a Xperia T as a gift in the next month or so. I will sell one of them but i'm not sure wich one i should keep
What do you think? I really appreciate you opinions.
Absolutely no doubt. Keep Xperia T with u and sale Xperia S.. Y thinking ?? Xperia T is much better than Xperia S. And u will get future update too...

Keep Xperia T.
T has better hardware than S, and it has further update support.
The t has the faster processor and jellybean
But the design is quite dissasterous and uncomfortable to hold
So it's pretty hard to pick
But go with the t
