Yes you're right.

Hi everyone!
I am thinking to get an Xperia Z tomorrow, and could order black, white or purple online from Sony, or black and purple from o2 or get the white one from Phones4You.
Any comments about the colours, if the body of the phone shows marks with one colour more than another etc, would be appreciated.
Might also get the charging dock!
I think any special offers are long gone.....

I am using a black one and it is an absolute beauty!!!
It looks stunning in black. The only gripe is it is a fingerprint magnet. But in my opinion, the appeal of the phone in black colour just over-shadows it.
To be honest I have not seen the phone in White ande Purple colours, so can't comment on these colours.

Take the black one!! Black looks perfect!
The white one isn't everywhere same white. The back glass is darker in compare to the sides.
And purple is for girls.

Hi again!
And purple is for girls.
 Made me laugh so much!!
I'll ask to see all three in store !
Is the upgrade worth it over an Xperia T? Or should I wait for an Xperia ZZ007 ?

Video comparing night time footage of the Z vs. Galaxy S4 and HTC One
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlx4_qlB6vA
The Sony easily holds its own here. The white balance is superior, there is far less auto focusing occuring and you can see far more details in the Sony footage. The GS4 does have some nice level of details, but then again it's got a narrow FOV than the Sony and HTC so things appear closer and hence bigger. I'm a bit iffy on those few shots like the Eiffle Tower one. The Samsung provides a mroe pleasing appearance for the tower itself against that black background, but the Sony gives you more detail of what's going on around it.
The Sony is a bit noisier than the GS4, but I guess that's the tradeoff for all its advantages.

Great shots. Yes Z stands on it's own.
It proves AGAIN that even well prepared profi comparison on GSMArena is worth nothing in some cases.
The comparison there doesn't show the real estate. Lol.
In some areas HTC is superior but the Eiffel Tower shots sucks
Good to see this comparison since all of them excell in different areas.
@ofiaich
Black is great because the sides are still dark purple. Looks very good.
And get it. It's the Sony I would like to stay with for at least a year.

@doministry : what does the 9.2MB update say it's for? It seems really small. I did get 3 items in the update centre or World, Clock, Top Contacts and Weather. All were under 10MB each. None were 9.2MB.
@tapas123 and @HxH : I've not had a good chance to play with the headset in conjunction with Xperia Z yet. As I said I use it in the car and I've been room bound for the last five/six days. I have a bit more freedom now so I'll test it over the next week or so and report back. To be honest I'm not expecting stellar performance, I want it for the sole reason that it means I don't need to play with the flaps when I get in the car. In fact, I could just leave my phone in my pocket and just handle SBH20, which I've clipped to the dashboard. Is there a thread for this already? I don't want to pollute this one too much.
@Ofiaich : I'd consider waiting for Honami. T is still a solid performer and Honami is 3-6 months from release. It ought to be a world beater. Of course, if money is no object and you don't mind changing again soon then get both. Whatever you do don't get Purple, it really is for girls and I think it exclusive to O2 in the UK. My friend is really looking to get purple. I don't have the heart to tell him it's a bit gay. He likes to drive round Barnsley playing Britney Spears loud with the windows down though, so maybe he can cope with purple! White is a little strange, it's true, the frame (non-glass parts) are slightly pearlescent and almost a very light pink in colour, which is unnoticeable until pointed out. I don't regret getting white myself though, it is stunningly beautiful.

@Ricky D not so sure about SBH20 thread, accessories forum is so quiet lately
That's same concern for me about audio port flap, I don't want to mess with it.
I usually listening to music when travel around.
In some case I may need to carry external battery for a convenient reason.
I'm strait but I love with Z purple, it's outstanding, but waiting for IFA and will decide later.
btw, where is sony camera basher, those eyes always turn to blind!

Does anyone have any info on how to get the cable for charging Xperia Z from Xperia Tablet Z (as shown on xperiablog a while back)?
@HxH : I really only listen to music in the car. I'll bring it into the house next time I'm at the car and give the battery a thorough running over.

Ricky, I think that custom cable is only available in Japan.  Not for the rest of the world |
