Let me say I am a Sony fanboy and I am using Xperia TX now. I like Sony phone because they have near AOSP experience, I am using dynamic normalizer since my psp-2000 which let me listen to music with out need to adjust the volume for every song. Front face speaker is a HUGE deal. IPS display is a must for me since my 1st android phone -HTC ONE X. Sony Exmor camera is simply amazing when i comparing my the picture taken from my phone to my friends - maybe bravia engine doing the trick. Walkman app is very amazing for me, it can smoothly even i underclock the CPU, it can download album art for wide variety of song and language and the visualizer is amazing if u trying to impress your friends. The album app is also amazing for viewing picture, slide horizotally to zoom in or zoom out, show the location of the picture take at the bottom. AND DONT FORGET IT HAS SDCARD EXPANSION SLOT!!! I better stop here the post is too long now
