    Eldamri, 21 Dec 2012Totally agree! it's so confusing sometimes. Sony should cha... morei think you really have good memory. so you prefer the names K850i, K750, W800, W8, etc etc. ??

    the alphabet names are less confusing.

    or maybe it's because sony hasn't come up with a really popular device. samsung has the same several phones released with different names but because of the galaxy's popularity, you may seem to remember them better.

            This is impossible. Currently the thinnest 5" 1080p phone is the Oppo Find 5 at 8.9mm. Now we are supposed to believe that a 5" 1080p screen and water resistance can be together in a 7.9mm body. Maybe, but not before Q4 2013 and the battery would be measly.

              Water and proofing is awesome!

              Hopefully other manufacturers will follow and make their phones water proof as well.

                        My contract is due beginning of January, so, I guess I will hold off from claiming a new phone until the Z comes along! I s/pose that means May/June. Hope it doesn't fall behind by then!

                            Knowing Sony expect a 1500 mAh battery there.

                              We don't want thinner phones, we want bigger battery which lasts whole day irrespective of of how we use it.... When would these companies bring out something like RAZR MAXX
