*Cancels S3 plans*
Is this even as good as the s3 hardware wise? I thought the mint was the one that was gonna be good?
Am looking at these myself now potentially, as the s3 is so butt ugly lol.
Whats the build quality like on sony's latest phones?
Well it'd probably perform about the same in every day usage, it depends I guess on what you want to use the phone for. This phone seems to have an excellent camera with good picture and video quality, with what looks like a dedicated camera button too for those quick snaps. The memory is a bit low, 16Gb only opposed to the variations of 16, 32 and 64Gb Samsung have stated, along with their Micro SD slot. The S3 also has the bigger battery (2,100mAh opposed to 1,700mAh in the Hayabusa), but the actual difference in the life of the battery is yet to be seen.
I much prefer the looks of this, looks more standard, but I won't know for sure until I get them both in my hand to try.
The SGS3 and Hayabusa have the same SoC, memory and great 720p screens (no need for another pointless AMOLED vs LCD thread again) It'll come down to which one you prefer in the hand.
The only thing we haven't seen yet is the new 13MP stacked/RGBW sensor, that could be a worthwhile update over existing BSI modules. A lack of SD card slot will be a real turn off though.
With Sony pushing the 'iconic' design in Europe and the current S4 shortfall they might not release it outside LTE markets.

All the more reason I need a few £million so I can create a smartphone startup that only builds phones aimed at stock Android or custom CM builds. Nothing is locked from the factory and camera modules can be upgraded by the user.
Can you imagine it?
I can, and it makes me sad panda
This will be stock I bet, looks pretty nice too..(to link to your Panda

Errr, I like it, if it has the right internals and screen I'd have one, imagine the potential for whittling customisations.
In that case, what about the HTC One X?
Yeah i quite like the look of that so its currently a front runner, but if a more powerful phone is coming out in a couple months time i can wait. Heard that the gpu on the new sony phones was some massively powerful one?
I doubt there will be anything massively more powerful this year to be honest.
The next big phone launch will be the next iPhone.
