Pros: Phone little thin and light
Excellent speed. Everything works, I do not run including games (GTA III, Modern Combat 3). Substantially increase the speed of the device compared to my an old HTC Hero, let look at some of the new applications: Evernote has become even more convenient, BeyondPod has become merely a convenient podcast manager (when the old device was on the verge of removal), Dropbox easily replace the cord.
Internet on it works just fine, especially on Wi-Fi. I still amazes the phone is not straining extorts from the Internet to 600-700 MB game files or video podcasts. From the old phone it would be a living hell with regular breaks and a lack of memory of both operational and own. The browser was immediately replaced with Opera Mobile - not that I did not like the standard, it's just a habit. The speed of the opening pages of heavy phone with ease udelyvaet first iPad, Flash-reproducing video from the page without any brakes and inconvenience.
Camera. Definitely, I like it just makrosemka. Ordinary photo is good only to shoot an ad or an interesting moment when nothing more dramatic at hand no.
At work. Best for me, when the smartphone is 2 days with normal day and with increased load. Here it is. Normal mode for me: 1.5-2 hours of audio (music, audiobooks, podcasts), 10-20 minutes of talk time, 1-1.5 hours books, the Internet 10-20 minutes, 1-2 minutes GPS (satellite search, where I like the most convenient way to get through traffic jams). At high load often increases Internet, books, and GPS. My Settings: synchronization is enabled, the auto at half brightness, Wi-Fi is included 7-8 hours at night the phone goes into flight mode.
Phone. This is just a great solution to the phone 8 GB (available initially about 4 GB, now I have a free 1 GB) of internal memory and a memory card connector.
Great sound, valid for headphones.

Disadvantages: Backlash and the creak of the cover around the volume rocker, I do not know what it depends on, but it appears and disappears. Me it is not very annoying. More unpleasant microscopic gap between the block and labeled XPERIA panel screen. Maybe it's just my lack of phone, because mention of this anywhere else saw.
Tight key photo. It is easier and more convenient to click on the screen and take a picture.
Disgusting videography.
Lack of always-on search keys. It is amazing, but on your phone OSes on the search giant is not possible to start the search immediately and from anywhere.
Touch keys. Very often stumble over them at the worst possible moment and take off or back to the main screen.
Non-removable battery. The reason to buy a new phone, I was swollen and had lost about half of the capacity of the battery HTC Hero. But what will happen to Sola?
The speaker is on the back cover. Volume is significantly reduced, as he lies in the upper screen and even on some sound-absorbing surface. What were they thinking developers?
The included headset is pretty good quality, but it still falls short of the Sennheiser CX 300. For taxis or for audiobooks / podcasts she comes only after some time you feel discomfort in the ears. When purchasing a high-quality headset revealed that none Sennheiser headset for iPhone does not work with this phone. Models from other manufacturers are working selectively.
Touch is not always possible to determine where the top-down and the phone often, getting out of his pocket, I press the volume button instead of the power button. And for the volume button is not the best place (I would like it a little higher, or to place the power button), but most likely it is a matter of habit.
The device is installed File Manager Astro, constantly showing ads. It looks a little too cheap - though not Chinese noname manufacturer.

Comment: The phone was purchased three weeks ago after the other bidder dropped out slowly: iPhone - walking into a terrible burden unwieldy iTunes, Sony Xperia S - Mahina uncomfortable lying in his hand, Xperia P - messages about marriage and not rasshiryaymaya memory; HTC One V - marriage with the power button and a failed attempt to go to the great design hero and legend. General remains one contender. At the time of purchase, I still had doubts, but now I regret that I bought it instead.
