I must say, it certainly feels great in the hand! Premium feel like a certain fruity phonemaker's phones, not the cheap plastic of a certain Korean brand... The screen is gorgeously crisp, viewing angles are good, and the gaming and video playback is smoooooth :)

For those in singapore, there are 2 Z demo units at the Wisma Sonystyle. :)

Sv: Just played with the Z...

It doesnt feel too big? I plan on getting this, instead of my iPhone 4. It's quite a jump from 3.5" to 5". Though I used to have an HD2, so it might just be a question of getting used to a much larger display. :)

I have a Nexus 4 which is a 4.7, the difference to a 5 will be minimal... most people I know that had iPhones and moved to larger Android devices had no complaints about it. Indeed quite the opposite...

The bets course of action is to go to a Sony store and see how it works for you.

I don't think it'll be a big problem.
I've heard lots of stories about people getting addicted to big screen after having one.

I've got the droid DNA and the .3 or whatever is noticeable. I gave my gf my sgs3 and can't imagine going back. I know the xz will have on screen buttons so that will take some screen away but with gmd gesture control it will be all HD, waterproof glory

Goodness, I can barely imagine using a screen as puny as the iPhone 4 screen. That screensize I easily understand for budget phones. :p
