Re: [info] know your phone

So I don't see cdma radio support. So this means it's not coming to Verizon? I'm looking to buy a phone soon this year on Verizon but I don't want anything that is out right now so I'm waiting to see what's going to be released.

I hate how they keep everything a mystery with phones.

No CDMA phones from Sony right now. Verizon and Sprint are quite backwards, CDMA is in all ways inferior to GSM. It's also too small a market to be interesting to invest in for Sony right now.

look at the pricing this is no s3 killer ;)

why fix it if it ain't broken ?
Sorry? It'll be cheaper than the outright price of the S3 within a couple of months (once launch pricing settles). This is for a more powerful phone, much better screen, much better camera, waterproof etc. Go buy an S3 if you want, I don't really care.. but no need to be hatin'

You know, your post is really helpful, but for this line. Why is everyone on the Z Forums comparing it with some other phone? As if the Android/ iOS war wasnt silly enough, we now have Android/ Android wars :(

EDIT: Why don't you make the features into a tabular format. Maybe include the ZL to the side too? Many (like me :D) are considering the ZL too.

In a couple of months the s4 will be announced. I can only assume that will be better than this specs wise at least.

It'll be announced in a couple of months, add another month before it hits the stores. The Xperia Z will be available in a month. By the time the S4 hits the market the price for the Xperia Z will have dropped and it'll most likely just be a better deal overall.

Yes, the quad A15 will be more powerful and I'm fully aware of that. However the reasons I won't buy a samsung today will still be the same when the s4 arrives (stupid plastic build, screwed up/non-existent source, terrible dev support). Some things are just more important outright power - and the S4pro is still very powerful.

In australia the S3 is only just cheaper than the price for an Xperia Z - the 4G SGSIII is actually more! The S4 will absolutely be more expensive on launch than the Xperia Z.

Well uhm there's no puddle of water here anywhere near our streets here considering our country is considered a tropical island country... Only instances I might drop the phone on water is if I'm using it in from of our kitchen sink :D
