So My phone just arrived.

Busy charging it as we speak.

Box contents:

Micro HDMI Cable
Micro USB Cable
Car charger
Wall Charger
Earphones with various size ear fittings.
Glass protector
Tiny Cleaning cloth.
Sim shaped scratcher for bubbles.
Manuals
Phone

More to follow.
 
I cut my sim to size after practicing with another first and that seems to have worked :)

Boot up time is around 40 seconds (first boot).

The lint free cloth that came with the phone left bits of material over the glass and this screwed up the scratch protector.

So far it's very fast, movies play beautifully, sounds are good, set up was painless and generally no issues.

The keyboard works well even with my huge thumbs (30mm thick thumbs) so that is a bonus :)

Will add more when I am not at work :)
 
Congrats, I am also enjoying mine.

Got mine from the UK, no car charger.

Did you get the NFC tags, I did not ?
 
No NFC tags, not really disappointed, I was expecting this, seems only AT&T get them.
 
Dammit... Mine is ready for pick up in PE

I am no where near to go fetch it :(
 
Build quality is good :)

Nice and solid phone, aesthetically pleasing to look at, the clear strip at the bottom of the phone gives it a very high quality finish.
Also ergonomic to hold and touch.
 
S3 rules. You chaps have bought crap. I will get my s3 in exactly 3weeks and 4days when a family member of mine returns from Norway :D I will post some pics in here. It should work in SA no problem because it is unlocked.

I don't have cash for the crap you are buying. Hope your crap breaks in the first week so your crappy warranty can bite you in the karma ass :)

One man's crap is anothers treasure :)

Personally i recon, you can stick that huge piece of junk where the sun dont shine. For one the S3 looks like is designed by a 3 year old and for another the build quality looks like one of the toys you'll get at toys'r'us.

Beside that, I am not a fan of huge phones and prefer my 4'3" screen thank you ver much.

Now go troll over in the Windows Phone section :p
 
pity the weight of the Xperia S is roundabout the same as the Iphone. the difference between the Iphone and S2, you can definitely feel it. I was hoping the Xperia would be lighter. Still, I am looking forward to the review of this Xperia S!

Must say, this thing is an absolute beaut, saw one at Vodashop Fourways 2weeks ago, shame it uses the old S3 Snapdragon found in Sensation, i wish it had the Krait.
Enjoy your beauties guys, the UI and design look incredible, a true head turner just like the Arc and X10.
 
there are many reviews out there yes, but I'd like to hear from someone local and someone you could interact with, poke and prod with questions :)
