OT but hey, new clean, Nexus-ish design from Motorola with really thin bezels and stock UI. 
Leaked 4" Motorola phone

sweet! Now it just needs a fair price, an announcement or release in the near future and a removable battery to make it even better.
I hope the press conference in Russia next week won't be just about low end Russian handsets. |

HTC continues to be in state of delusion 
They would've thought Sony is not  and that s700/K750 did not exist (they had burst pic mode way before K800 recieved a much better BestPic mode) going by that logic, we should all convince Sony to accuse HTC for copying the LED flash and Autofocus technology revolutionized during K700/K750.
Sony K850i has brust mode long ago.
Anyways, Sony is the one who made panorama mode possible. Besides, Sony's chest of patents can bring HTC down very easily. 
uhh. excuse me, K700i/K750 came ~2 years before K850  but I get your point, HTC is playing nice guy with their statement.
@randomuser: I don't quite get that, So if MS would try to sip $$$ from Sony by litigation can't Sony fight back?

From ZOMG:
Apple won't litigate against Sony. One of Sony's many IP licencing subsidiaries owns a core multi-touch patent that literally every phone manufacturer must licence but isn't considered FRAND.
They also own all of Ericsson's old handset IP and Ericsson were in it from the start. Sony own multiple core GSM patents that are essential for releasing mobile phones in the west. Of all the companies in the field, Sony are the best armed and probably the most difficult to take on without facing reciprocal action.
Well Microsoft are a good barometer on this issue, they have sued basically every Android OEM large and small and forced them into per device licencing deals from $5 per device like Samsung who have a relatively strong arsenal all the way up to $15 per device for weaker ones from China who want to break into the US. HTC are somewhere in between those numbers.
Sony are legitimately going to be the number two Android OEM in 2013 and neither MS nor Apple have even hinted at litigation against SMC and if they could MS would try and get the $5 per device from Sony, at 60m devices shipped in 2013 that's a nice chunk of money for MS they won't get from an Android OEM.
Apple are said to fear the rise of Sony more than any other company because they know if Sony get their shit together they can be the most formidable tech and media company in the world.
Besides, Steve Jobs loves Sony. He built Apple based on Sony.
And for product demonstration of Apple TV, Apple used Bravia displays. Apple and Sony have some sort of secret friendship that is only subtly shown.

He said that Microsoft is also afraid of Sony. MS has sued every single Android maker including Samsung but not Sony. And nor do they have any plans to sue Sony.
@unknownC151A
Yes. I saw a few recent patent filings from Apple where there was a room full of Sony products I remember BRAVIA and Playstation only, but there were other Sony stuff too |

LG Third largest smartphone maker.
This is crazy. Suddenly ZTE flew out the list, Sony retained fifth and HTC came back.

I'd say BS. That report says Apple is No.1 Pure BS. Samsung sold more than twice the number of smartphones compared to Apple.
Ridiculous article. |

C670 should be a global phone. C6606 will be sold unlocked with the North American LTE bands.
So was supposed to be the Z. And Sony Mobile Canada is now pushing the ZL, which nobody wants here.
Do you know if c6606 will only be sold in the US?
Also any rumors on the phablet? Waterproof, looks like a bigger Z?
