      AnonD-45523, 17 Jan 20134.2 still has some unfixed bugs even on nexus devicesThat's right. 4.1.2 is actually much better in terms of stability (less bugs, better battery, less wakelocks) than 4.2.

            bought X10 n then never look behind to buy sony since playing safe with samsung... sony r poor in bringing early updates coz by the time this phone will update to 4.2, key lime pie will be around the corner n looking at their previous record sony will further update to klp till end of this year... while S4 will ship with klp in Q2/2013 either may or june...
            conclusion- xperia z cant beat S4
            but this phone is amazing in looks n i love it for this...

              I hope they fix the worst bugs in 4.1.2 before Z is launched. My Note 2 is not nearly as good now on 4.1.2 as it was on 4.1.1 and i dont think its samsung specific things that need work, but the android 4.1.2 base.

                  It d be a miracle if this rectangular thing manage to sell even 5 million ,cause I know for a fact that reviewers and commentators here on gsmarena don't buy all these gadgets,most of u guys just dream about them,people who buy smartphones are out there,and they r buying s3,note2,and iPhones,not to mention they all waiting for the s4,peace

                      Sony's new phone naming convention seems to have some resemblance to Sony VAIO laptop names.

                      Xperia Z corresponding to Sony's top of the line VAIO Z series.
                      Xperia T to high-end VAIO T Series.
                      Xperia S to VAIO S Series.
                      Xperia E to cheap economical VAIO E series.

                      But, don't have any idea about other models.
                      It's just some coincidence or a strategy by Sony to streamline its products.
                      Whatever, SONY is doing great at present and I wish the company to be at the top again.

                          I think they should do this out of the box in launch time

                                it would be more interesting.
