The phone is very slim, but it did not prevent to blend in the headphone jack and microUSB minijack with the side surfaces. The "richest" is the right side, where we have the volume, lock and camera buttons, as well as a hinged lid, under which hides microSIM and microSD card slots. I incredibly liked one more little thing - the serial number and certification are not printed on the cover here (like on the iPhone), but hidden next to the cards, on the part that pops out from under the slots, if you feel the need. It's a shame that Xperia T is not waterproof - after all, James Bond wouldn’t certainly disdain this feature...

I’m excited about the phone, but after all - as a reviewer - I should also criticize something. Here you go: the keys! The hardware (on the side) were placed in a totally unwieldy place. In contrast to the hundreds of competitors, Xperia T has them closer to the bottom, so it's easy to accidentally press them when we just hold the phone in hand. I would have endured the camera button, but each time I block the screen unintentionally, I literally go to hell. I do not like the soft keys as well. Maybe I'm a traditionalist, but I preferred the additional sensors under the screen. They are simply uncomfortable, and apart from that they unnecessarily reduce the working surface of the screen... They also extort from us an additional "tap" on the screen to "wake them up".
