Nyphon looks okay spec-wise, but that murky photo seems to suggest that it shares the same slab-o-plastic looks of the Xperia S (which presumably also means no memory expansion nor removable battery like the 'S), which is not appealing to me.

(Sony Xperia Kumquat) Though it sports the same processor as the Nyphon it runs Gingerbread 2.3.7

Hope that's just a pre-launch configuration - since I can't see a good reason why Sony would want to run ICS on some "new" phones and G'bread on others - surely that means more(/unecessary?) effort needed in software support?

I just could not buy a phone called a Kumquat....
