I have been using this phone for close to one month. Here are my likes and dislikes on this phone:
Like:
The Design is compact- Not to worry that you are carrying a pencil box in your pocket.
The interface response is good - Before going for this phone I came across few comments that this phone's touch response is not that good or you should actually tap hard on the icons. Thankfully I did not have such issues using this phone, I really liked the response, it’s smooth.
The Sync of Phone contacts with face books profiles – The contacts will show the pics & details from Facebook once you allow the sync option. Technically you only need to make the sure the contact name saved on the phone is matching with that of Facebook profile.
Android Market – Accessing the Market for apps in this phone is quite fast.
Music Quality – The Music Quality is good.
Camera – The Camera Quality is fine.
Call Quality – One of the best.
Sync of office E-mails – I started to sync my office e-mails into this phone and it works great. I just respond to important e-mails even when I am out of office.
Dislikes:
The Camera – Given the fact the Camera is 8 MP, I expected to enjoy a better pixel content/quality. A little Zoom on the camera will end the snap in VGA quality picture.
Battery – I hear this phone has a good battery compared to the ones in the Market but I still doubt if that’s correct, I recharge twice a day, though I use the Internet only when required (45 mits) and turn off the data traffic, Listen to Music not more than 30 mits, Calls and messaging will come around 1.5 Hours on an average.
Overall the phone is excellent. I rate it 4 out of 5.

Even with 2.3.3 software there was zoom taking camera pictures,now with 2.3.4 there is zoom while making videos.This video zoom was one of the more important reasons for me to update the phone otherwise i was even happy with 2.3.3.
As for 3G,u have to have the right handset, with the right carrier,(the bandwidths have to match) to have 3G enabled.

Just updated my X-Ray to Android 2.3.4 two days ago.
This is what I can say about the update so far:
The Good
- Slightly improved standby battery time
- 3D sweep panorama camera feature
- Nice swipe-based keyboard (love it!)
- Improved music widget animation
- Screen capture feature
- Nice screen on animation
The Bad
- Old CRT screen off animation has gone
- Slightly slower screen on time
- Folder icon change (i prefer the old one as it looked tidier)

It runs smooth,no hanging so far. Live wallpaer of SG2 run good. Any phone will start hanging if you let to many apps run in the background :)

this and many reviews that i saw and read have pinted to the no air gap display.The main advantage is the pictures,text,appear close to the surface of the screen,improves colors,clarity etc.
The more compelling thing i read some where is that dust can come in between the lcd and glass in the phones with the display with the gap,and i also read a neo owner complaining of it.This might be a one of happening,but considering i will not be changing my phone soon,this no gap display will ensure that i dont worry about dust :)

Does Ray hang while is usage, heard about this problem, is it true or a false comment?
