Traditionally, ...i models did not have the 850MHz or 1900MHz bands needed by U.S. carriers. But the Xperia S already has them, so, no need for LT26a.

With the Newegg one you don't get any extra accessories. You also get an ep800 not an ep850, but that seems to be the norm. This is my 4th Xperia S, the first 2 I had gotten around release and had yellow tint. The first one came with an ep850 and an hdmi cable. The second one came with ep800 and no accessories. The third one I got was from Germany and it came with 2 smart tags but not an hdmi or ep850. I think the earlier ones got more extras but now they have phased them out. If you look at the Sony Store one, you will notice it does not list anything extra in the package either so I doubt those will come with anything extra. Also if you buy at Newegg you will still get a 1 year warranty because Newegg is an authorized Sony retailer. I got mine from Newegg.

USB Cable (EC600L)
Stereo Headset (MH650c)

Newegg sucks ass don't buy from them. They have the worst customer service. I have a problem with the battery on my new Xperia S and they make you go through the manufacturer even though they have stated on their website that they deal with it.

The guy even answered my replies with ":)". What are they, twelve years old. I at least expect professional service.

    pdashop.be changed from 7 march to 16 march, most other shops indicate 2 to 3 weeks from now

    So i suspect 16 march is about right

    O well.. It's Belgium right, I saw it coming

    The official release in Belgium is 2 April. PDAShop.be (and all other Coolblue stores) are Dutch stores and will ship handsets with Dutch customization.

    GSMWijzer.be (where I ordered mine, Dutch too) lists 5 March (monday) and is reliable :)

    How the hell is North America getting this phone last?
    We have the biggest market. Should be released here first. :(

    I wanna import from Australia.

    In the about phone details does it say your phone is LT26i or LT26a?

    Any luck on the firmware?

    I also got mine from Newegg. It says LT26i. The SI number is 1261-1876. You can find the ftf file here.
