It's time to show off our winners amazing photo skills and to hear what they think about the Xperia S.

Keep an eye on this thread from tomorrow for the daily photo challenges, and the ongoing reviews from our 6 new Android experts.

The challenge is to take photos of you using the Xperia s, from your friend using the Xperia S.

With the high quality HD camera you should be able to come up with some creative photos of the two of you.

Here's a couple of shots of our help and support team "Looking at you, looking at me".

Nick subtly blending into the vending machines.....

Maddie, not so subtly in the garden.

Bruno relaxing with the paper, and James has somewhow ended up in the work cafe.
Bonus points for Nick and Maddie being in the background. Of both photos......

Xperia S reviewers.......... The next photos are up to you!

2 photos per day per pair (that's one each). But if you have far too many good ideas you can definitely send them through and we'll share them here!

Any challenges will be a secret
The photo submission has just been emailed out to everyone.
We've included a PDF explaining what to do, and if you have any questions from there, let me know by PM or reply to the email.

Looking forward to it!

Alright I'll kick off the daily questions!

First impression on opening the box?

I was suprised by the amount of additional features included; sweet leather case, NFC chips, hdmi cable etc.  Unfortunately there is a dead pixel but apart from that 1 little pixel is the screen is quite phenomenal!

Yes when I opened the box, the phone itself emerges from its surroundings, it's ambitiously large. But of course has this really premium look to it, the white definitely the only colour for this device :-) and all the goodies! Particularly happy with the earphones that come with the phone. Box itself a little cluttered design wise.

Our First Impressions of the Xperia S!

Anthony - Ok, So Firstly, Sexy Box! Its Design is small, elegant and perfect for Xperia NXT, The goodies were great, everything i need is included, ear phones, HDMI, Multipurpose USB, I was not sure about the white at first, but now i think its a stunning eye catching design.

Josh - I was happy to find the phone was suprisingly large, nice white colour, cool extras, awesome headphones, and cant go wrong with the leather pouch. Overly, very impressed with all the extras included, thanks sony lol Kind of had to tear the box apart to get to everything, little messy.

Albert - First impression, box was pretty premium despite the fact that it is a simple pack. Extras are very very generous (HDMI cable, NFC tags, leather pouch in this term) , which is so not Sony Ericsson (well, it's a Sony now ). Quite surprised to find that the white Xperia S was and is actually beautiful (I was into the black one at first) ! Phone is a bit thick and heavy, but it looks stunning! overall, I am totally impressed!

Feronica - I wasn't expecting for the pack to be so complete! I just thought that it is just another phone with earphone and charger. I was using Iphone 4 but somehow fell for this one after the unboxing. The looks just beat the Iphone in every aspect. Big screen, stunning design, and advanced features, such as the NFC tags, which is a very brilliant invention I think! The only downside is that the phone a bit heavy, but that wouldn't matter for me

Ok so. How to find the camera! The best thing about this phone is how quick it takes a photo. When locked, screen off and all, hold down the camera button on the side and it launches straight into the camera, taking a photo in a split second. It's fantastic! Otherwise there is an icon for the camera on the home screen.

Albert - very responsive, so this is the quick launch feature they've been talking about in the forum. it takes less than 1.5 sec to get the camera ready by just pressing the camera button when the screen is off, awesome!

Feronica - fast and very simple, now taking pictures is just as easy as moving my thumb, just press the camera button even when the screen is off, no more hassle, no more button to press, no more sliding on screen, less effort than ever!

The camera is pretty ok... the colours are a little too natural looking for mine, i feel like the video mode was better on my iphone though.  the panaroma feature is very awesome.  the 3d photos are a bit of a gimick cause srsly how many people own 3d tvs!
