Sony Xperia Ion

Excellent Camera, Beatuful design, allows you to sync movies purchased and /stored from Playstation 3 to your Xperia Ion via Sonys video unlimited, Good speed, runs games easily, limited Android GUI modification.
Cons Runs 2.3.7, installing playstation Store could be easier, takes some getting used to pushing the buttons
Summary I would suggest people ignore the review that CNET has given this phone and would say go to AT&T or Best Buy and try it out for yourself. The phone is beatiful phone and it has the features of Android ICS built into its customized version Android. The camera takes amazingly sharp and accurate pictures. It could do better in low light but it is still good. The phone has brilliant colors. One cool feature with the camera, is taking a picture in 1 secondor less even when in lock mode. The digital keyboard is very accurate and very responsive.

Another feature about this phone that no other phone manufacturer has, is its ability to work with Sonys Video unlimied service. Those of you who use a Playtation 3 and have purchased movies from the Playstation store will be able to sync those movies to this phone and take them with you on the go.

Sound quality is amazingly great on this phone.sound than a and one cool feature is that you can pre program apps to launch when you plug in an accessory. i have the music unlmited app launch automatically when I plug in headphones.

Facebook, text messaging, twitter, is a snap using Sonys Timescape app. Theres really no reason to launch the facebook, or twitter apps when you can do everything from the new version of Timescape. Sony really did a good job with Timescape update

The design of this phone is solid and doesnt feel cheaply made. The front is pratically all glass and has a frameless look. (It looks like a Sony Bravia HX 8 series TV) The back is made of aluminum. The very top and very bottom of this phone is the only part made in plastic. Another problem is that the buttons arent as sensitive and you usually experience in Android phones. Trust me when i say you WILL get use to it though. They are sensitive, just not as senstive as some other phones. other phones can be to sensitive.

Games run smoothly and fast on this phone.

The only things i can find disappointing is that its running 2.3.7 and not Android ICS aka Android 4.0 (the newest version) but, its getting an update... so I wouldnt worry aobut that too much.

Cnet has kind of left me with a sour taste regarding this site. its almost like they didnt want to say anything good about it ro point out its exclusive features. The review was very biased, and that is why i encourage people to go play with the phone rather than basing your decision off of this review. Read the user reviews and not the Cnet review.
