The place that has [or is supposed to have] the Xperia shows the phone as being black. Anyone know, is this a black plastic ? Or is it still metal?

that's good to hear. I think it was the i-mate that I had that was black metal, really nice and solid feel to it. Am I correct in thinking this will use Tmobiles 3G connection ?

Well i have a metal Nokia and 4 years in, there's only 1 little scratch, guess it depends on the manufacturer. But then again i take great care for my devices, i've only dropped it 3 times in 4 years and one of those times wasn't my fault :P
