[Nimche]

Damn only if I know sony direct would match price. Smart move from your end
you should go to local store and get micro SIM for free

Is that the deal? where does it say about FREE micro?

Wish I went with the express devilvery - mine will not make it to me until Monday. Oh well, I have a busy weekend anyway.

I was risking it but it was too much money for me. Keep yourself occupied till next week. Hope for your to receive it soon. Where are you located?

Was refered to his T-Mobile micro SIM card question.

Thanks Randy, but I just bit the bullet and ordered a $10 micro SIM from T-Mo. I'm going for the $30 5GB "walmart special" and from what I've read, an activation code from a brick & mortar T-Mo won't work with that deal. Dunno why, lol.. stupid 2-cent plastic piece was free last week.

My bro just switch to tmobile unlimited talk, text, data for all 4 phone $180.00 non-contract plan. I think this is the best plan but you have to buy smart phone at full price but can't beat $45.00/phone each month with everything unlimited.

Bootloader will always come locked, difference is can it be unlocked?

I don't know the way to test that out but I heard from Xperia T you loose that. You know the way to check it?

View any picture/wallpaper using the album app with BE on & take a screenshot, then do it with BE off & take another screenshot. Now compare the two on any screen (say laptop) & if you find a difference in colour saturation/contrast, then BE is working otherwise it's not.

screenshot you mean with Vol - and power? or use a camera.
I don't think there is a difference

I'm excited about the ZL. It's the first smartphone in a long time that felt perfectly in my hand, especially for a 5". Much easier to hold and type with than the Note II or GS3.

I like the display, it's very crisp and full of colour and as long as the battery lasts longer than the GS3, I won't complain.

The camera will take some getting used to, and at least you can downsize the resolution. I just wish Sony offered a 3:2 ratio for pictures as well instead of limiting it to 16:9 and 4:3

How is it easier to hold than GS3? The GS3 is SMALLER!

GS3 is barely smaller, but the ZL feels smaller in the hand and with the textured back, it's much easier to hold and it doesn't slip while holding or trying to type.

I don't know what the material is on the back, but it feels good and also, it doesn't slip when you rest the phone on a smooth surface.

Uhh...ZL is smaller than gs3..other than being a little thicker..and it doesnt necessarily have to be small to be easier to hold. ZL has the curve/textured back which makes it more comfortable to hold.

GS3 4.8inch screen

ZL 5inch screen

Seriously? You're going by screen size? The ZL is shorter AND narrower.

Samsung Galaxy S3 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm (5.38 x 2.78 x 0.34 in)

Sony Xperia ZL 131.6 x 69.3 x 9.8 mm (5.18 x 2.73 x 0.39 in)

I've also held both in my hands side by side, and there is no comparison. ZL definitely feels more compact.

LOL...no comment..

Yes hes right ZL is a tad smaller and GS3 look at the actual dimensions and not screen size, every review had stated that its smaller than GS3.
