Hmmm might cancel my Xperia z pre order

[JamDonot]

Am currently watching the HTC One announcement of their new phone. Have to say, looks pretty awesome, seriously considering cancelling my xz order and waiting for the HTC. I have had the HTC One and the HTC One X before, both have awesome screens, and when all the forum posts about the quality, or lack of quality, depending on which post your read, of the xz's screen. Hmmmm, decisions decisions.

TBH I was thinking the same not long ago but after hearing the new HTC has no memory card slot and only 32gb version. Im not interested atleast 64gb like one x+ would have changed my mind.

It comes in 32 and 64 gig options. Need more than 64 gig, get a laptop.

Sony z Pros
Better looking (i think)
Water/dust proof (not really something I need)
SD-card
Better dev support
less customized version of android, so possible faster roll out of new versions

HTC One pros
Newer SOC / faster/ less power
Better Screen
More internal memory
probably better speakers (not that i care)
infrared (not that i care)

As for the camera we don't know which will be better, and I don't really care as in the end all camera phones are rubbish

I'm not sure what to do, but looking at the hardware spec list the HTC is the one to get
looking at the software and design I favor the Z

Darn why could HTC just make a ****y phone

edit:
The presentation veld a bit like a teenage phone, that is holding me back as well

I'm sorry but the HTC One looks better than the XZ. And better Dev support on the Sony? Please.

I will see how much the 64gb is on contract.

Like I said, to me it looks better, no sense in arguing about taste
HTC is famous for being late with the release of kernel source and when they do it is often in a non compilable state, Sony is quicker and better in this respect .
Saying things like "please" isn't an argument.

It looks better to you is cool but to say sony will roll out updates sooner and better Dev support is funny.

HTC has a large Dev community, LARGE. Mike 1986 is a known HTC guy, and we all know him. And its just one guy that I'm mentioning. This argument about release of kernel source is what you sony guys keep talking about, yet all previous Sony devices aren't relevant today.

exactly!!! not quite happy with HTC dev support

 

[redThd]

There is no such thing as too much space in a multimedia capable device.

To OP: I can't believe you think that anyone cares.

Who said too much space? If you cant live with 64 gig then get a laptop with 320 gig or an external hard drive and use Skype to make calls.

I guess it is where you after for most post xperia X10 devices you can get nightlies from CM. and the free xperia guys are doing excellent work to make that happen. You are able to get Android 4.2 on your arc (early 2011) possibly older devices as well, but I don't know as I don't have one. If you count the number of cooked roms it might be less than the one x but that doesn't say anything

 

[Riyal]

Ok finally made my decision! HTC One great!!!!!!!! Non removeable battery? Ok rejected! Sticking with Xperia ZL now once and for all!

That doesn't say anything?? Really? I call it larger Dev support.

There is always something better around the corner. I wasn't expecting the Xperia Z to stay on top anyway.

Yes, but many HTC Devices have jellybean too. My DHD has jellybean and it is a 3 year old device.

PLUS the Chinese HTC Scene is huge.

Unfortunately, and by all accounts the M7 leaves the Z far behind. A superior screen, Camera, Sound Quality and Loudness, not to mention build quality.

I don't see why anyone would purchase a Sony handset unless they are a fanboy, in which case it would be pointless arguing with an irrational person.
