I guess so, I'm (im-)patiently waiting for this phone to be released in Austria. Where are you from?

I'm from Vietnam. We have access to new phones way faster than many countries as we ship them from Hong Kong

Hello fellow Acro S users. Can I ask what method you've used to root the Acro S. I have seen the method for the SO-03D. I wonder if It's the same as the Acro S.
Btw, so far i'm very satisfy with this fone. Very smooth and stable. Three front touch buttons no longer clumsy as the Xperia S. MicroSD Slot. Water resistant and strong design. What's not to love.
And mind is black. I wanted a white but they don't have have one for me :crying:
I'm wondering...since the phone is named "LT26w" and the Xperia S is "LT26i" might it be possible to flash the Xperia S ROMs and Kernels to Acro S too?

The SO-03D (Japanese version of the Acro S) can be flashed with Xperia S Rom. I am pretty much sure that the Acro S can do too.

Thank you for the answer
This sounds like good news. I will try when I get the Acro S next week. A custom ROM flashed with CWM won't hurt anyone, I guess
Hey i read on a site that the phone is good but it's not as beautiful as it looks on pictures, is it true? I want to have one actually I have Xperia S now
I live in NYC just picked up a white LT26w yesterday from [email protected] Pretty fast and smooth, but my Galaxy S2 running AOKP seems a bit quicker.
I have a few issues with buttons and skinned ICS.
I was also hoping for the camera to be better. It seems the lens and sensor are OK, but the camera app is crap. AF isnt good, bad UI and a little buggy.
One thing I love is the waterproof design. Looks great and I used it in the pool taking underwater photos on and off today for about and hour total. As long as the waterproofing doesnt fail easily ill be happy with this phone.
One bad thing about wet finger tracking is tyat any water that drops or initally touches the screen registers a click.

Yeah, that thing is bugging me too. You need to clean the screen to get rid of the water to use the touch screen accurately again. But It's not as bad as the 3 front touch buttons of the Xperia S.

Trust me this phone looks good and feels good. You won't regret buying it. Btw, come back here and give us an update once you purchased it ok?
I'm planning to buy a charging dock as my fone didn't come with a dock.
Very odd that yours didnt come with a charging dock. Its meant for this phone so you dont ruin the rubber seals as quickly!

Hello,
Does the Acro S have the LED notification function?
Best Regards,

It sure does! Something I love about Sony design. I dont think I had a LED notifier since 2003!

I believe the seller stole it but i'm not sure. All of the shop i've checked told me that the Acro S does not have a dock to begin with.

Did you receive it in its original box? I really dont think they would sell it without the dock since.. it lets you just charge it without having to pop off the MicroUSB cover each time, keeping the waterproof seal healthy.

I have the original box, user manuals, a EP800 charger, USB cable but not the dock. In Vietnam I didn't see any shops or retailers who offer the Acro S with a dock. And yes, I definitely love the water proof feature and the strong body design of this phone. But don't worry, i'll buy a dock charger soon, with a silicon case and screen protector :fingers-crossed:

Is there a silver Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S? Cause the shopkeeper said to me there is no silver just the black and white.
You really needed to start a thread to ask.

Hi, is there a DIY method or place (EU) to change the battery and maybe the backcover, which can guarantee the waterproofing will still be ok after the procedure?
Backover is fixed with a glue sticker. If you'll use a good original sticker and place it in a right way, then waterproof will be as it was before.
If you don't feel that you can do this carefully by yourself, probably it will be a good idea to delegate this work to a professional.
Good luck!

Sony Xperia A2 SO-04F (Japan version of Z1 Compact)
Does anybody know where to buy aftermarket z5 premium dual parts like frames and screens?
I have 2 of them that I want to fix, I am a technician. But I still can't find any places that sell them exact types. because the normal z5 premium doesn't have the opening slot where the SD card usually would be put in. The motherboards are in good condition, I just need help finding the frames for them. I have tried googling where to find it and no luck. the z5 premium's I have gotten were from China on ebay, and they don't have the option for the z5 premium dual.
Frames and screen
You have all that stuff on aliexpress. Just google it
