If the 900mah battery info is true then these become disinteresting pretty much right off the bat. I don't insist on fantastic battery life, but with 900mah you can't possibly get decent usage times out of these.
Imagine running the GPS, wifi and a bluetooth headset at once on these and you're looking at 15 minute run times. :p
Besides that huge and glaring flaw (why do they always do that - blight a great device with some glaringly obvious foulup?) they are indeed droolworthy. Still... looking at the Xperia myself so far.
@Lein, take your Titan back. I own a Titan and with the factory battery I listen to streaming internet radio fed from my phone into my car stereo on my to and from work (a total of about 2 hours of driving). I also e-mail and text message with it somewhat regularly throughout the day and I don't charge it until I get home late at night at which time it usually has about half the battery left.
While the Titan doesn't get great battery life it's NO WHERE NEAR what you claim (unless your Titan is defective of course).
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

Try running just a 3G connection and GPS on a 1500mah HTC Titan. You get about an hour of constant use (on the train, for example.)
So yeah, your estimate is probably pretty accurate.
yes BUT these will be running more power-efficient chips than the older models.
