Just Got My Xperia!!!

[n4v1n]

So I got home and there it was; the box.
first thoughts:

This thing is deceptively small!!!! When I saw the box it was shipped in (it was small) I thought I had been dupped and sold one of those fake ones or something. The pics and reviews do not show how small this thing is!

The screen is amazing, I just turned it on and the SE logo looks so clear and vivid. When you turn it on, all of the leds light up in diff colors... sooo coool.

The keyboard is very flat even with the diamond cut keys, but I still think it is great to type on.

I can't express how smalll it is!! I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this as it cleared my fear of having a huge bulge in my pockets when carrying. It is a bit hefty, but thats good, caus it doesnt feel cheap.

I have ATT and i live in a 1900mhz area, so I'l get back to everyone on whether 3G works or not.

2 second UPDATE: I notice a letter H at the top status bar, does that mean HSDPA?. Also, when it wants to make a connections it says gprs, 3G!!!. 3G works on ATT!!

Congrats too from me n4v1n. Glad your 3G works - just note that there will be areas in the US where you will be restricted as there may only be 850.

Please keep us updated on the phone

How much did you pay? How's the performance so far?

i paid $918 for it not including the super fast shipping from the UK (i got it in 2 days!) The performance is great, but the only problem i see with it is the panels as they are somewhat laggy, but still useable. If you stay within and don't touch the panels it is lightning fast, so i guess this can probably corrected in a firmware update.

So you're saying that the whole selling point of the phone isn't really that great after all?

ehh I wouldn't say they're not great just not optimized yet. I'm sure it will be corrected in a firmware update as mine is still the august firmware. Even if the panels didn't exist, I would still love the device.
