The editors didn't like
Ships with dated software
Color banding may spoil display for some
Still no good reason to care about PlayStation certification
No microSD card slot or user-accessible battery
The Xperia S has quirky capacitive buttons
Slow 3G data
An uninspiring screen
And a pokey processor. Its $559.99 price is also steep.
Lower screen resolution than some competitors
Poor camera quality
Annoying port cover
Keyboard case not worth extra money
Viewing angles distort blues
Capacitive buttons too close to screen
No removable battery
No expandable memory
Heat build up is noticable
More 'phablet' than phone
Heavy use will kill battery
Mediocre design. PlayStation bits disappoint. You have to update it to ICS
Back scuffs easily
Not yet Ice Cream Sandwich
Large form factor is awkward for typing
The capacitive button dots are hard to spot and not very responsive
Sealed battery compartment
No memory expansion slot
Chunky with weak build qualityCamera output is only superficially goodSony ecosystem needs to be more cohesive

It might be an ugly phone. Actually no, it *is* an ugly phone. But Sony's Xperia S is truly bulging with features. Whether this is the right phone for you depends what you're looking for. Personally I'd still lean towards something like the HTC One X whi...
