My wife loves the real keyboard. That's the only reason she still has a Blackberry.

@ hihihans In my store we get lots of people who want to move from BlackBerry but want to keep the qwerty keyboard but there isn't any decent ones out there, regarding my post on the qwerty I think Sony should develop I have just found out the in May of this year JDI started the mass production of a QHD display with Pixel Eyes tech that would fit the bill perfectly with a 3.7 inch display with a qwerty keyboard and optical trackpad. C'mon Sony their is a market for this just make it happen

But the problem is people also want good cameras, big screen and good battery life, and the keyboard has to be good otherwise you might as well use the on-screen one : such a device would have to be 15 mm thick at least so you have to reduce the screen size in order to make it pocketable because a 15 mm 4.5 - 5 inch screen would be way too big (a narrower and shorter but thick device is manageable), and/or make some compromises elsewhere (flat useless keyboard, small low quality cam module, small battery ...) This is why there is virtually no qwerty phone over 4inch, 1800 mAh battery and all have have had bad cameras since the N97. And even with all these compromises you end up with a big device. When these phones are made, they have subpar specs and people would prefer keyboard-less phones, this is why there is low demand and manufacturers finally decides to stop making them altogether... It's sad but people who doesn't belong to the mainstream doesn't get the products they wants ... I, for one,would have liked a Xperia Play 2 but I know it's nearly impossible for similar reasons) Even Nokia only made Asha (as opposed to higher-end Lumia) keyboard phones lately, because people buying phones that cheap didn't expect good specs in the first place.

This is the Motorola Photon Q it was released about 18 month ago and it to be the best qwerty phone I can find spec wise if this is possible 18 month ago what is possible now or even in another 6 months surely. Sony has the tech to make the phone with some big improvements like battery capacity and the thickness .http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Motorola-PHOTON-Q-4G-LTE_id7253

If I were Kaz I would've sold Sony's shares in Olympos which is up 140% from the time Sony bought it and acquaired 51 percent stake in Sharp's handset business to cement Sony's position as no.1 in Japan and reduce per device development cost and then probably bring sharp's handsets outside Japan. |

That would be a big no no!!! Because the tech Olympus have is beneficial to Sony in other industry outside of mobile. Remember, Xperia is not the only thing SONY sells! I for one want Olympus' 5 Axis IBIS and auto focus tech from the OMD-EM1 into their future Alpha line-up. It was a pity that the A7/R did not have such tech implemented, though I still pre-ordered an A7  . |

A rumor from last month regarding Z1 successor camera (i wonder how reliable is that person): http://neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=87285064&postcount=521
"Also, got some news for next year's flagship camera module, it retains the 20MP, f2.0 but the sensor size may increase from 1/2.3" to 1/2.0" (30% increase in area) but it is very early in development so they may stick with an updated version of the 1/2.3" sensor with better light gathering characteristics (a full silicon respin of the current sensor, essentially)." |

I hope this thread doesn't repeat the last with over 1K pages with mostly off topic bs. Maybe that's why the insiders are scarce these days. Hope the mods can keep things on topic and delete the rest  Anyway, just saw this...
Z1s vs Z1

The corners look rounder than the Z1 and although it may just be the thing the Z1s is lying on it seems thicker too, looks superb either way can't wait for the announcement.

Thanks for posting the link tors. I read somewhere that the Z1s is supposed to be slightly thicker. No big deal there. Just took a look at the corners and think I like the squared ones better on the Z1. |
