So I'm more of a lurker than a poster but since I got this new phone I'd like to share :)
If you have any questions just ask (^^)b

Coming from a Samsung Galaxy S2 so far I love the screen (can never understand why people want a 150 degree viewing angle!) and the look and feel of the device is so much better :))))

Hey, in Japan Xperia Z available in Sony stores? They must be unlocked, right?

Also since you got the phone, you can try out these apps as well ;)

I'll see what I can do about taking a video of it playing a video lol :p
I only got it today so I haven't even fully charged it yet. I'll give it a full run out tomorrow and see how long it lasts.
Things of note so far, the screen is much more accurate than the galaxy s2. While typing at full speed I hardly make any mistakes but I made quite a lot more with
the s2. Also it seems to collect a lot of fingerprints so I would recommend getting a screen and back cover :)

You definitely have to come to Japan sometime, it's awesome! :D

Bro,
Nice of you to share your joy here. I'll be waiting till it comes out here on 1 March.
However, I'd like you to try a short test. How long does it take for the phone to wake up from deep sleep?

The reason I ask is Galaxy S2 and S3 takes a while to wake up as seen from my video:

You might be familiar with this behavior has you own an S2.

Thank you in advance!

I tested it out and it's faster than what's shown on your video.

well buying a phone in a Japan is different from other countries, basically I'm buying the phone for 525 pounds over two years :/

You're also getting a rebate on service (which effectively ties you to Docomo since the rebate expires immediately if you exit early on top of your ETF and remaining handset obligation - in fact the Japanese word for phone contracts has the same root as the word used for bondage).
