But I do get irritated many of the fanboys here speak of Sony as being God made and that it never has problems. No phones are perfect. The Google Nexus line regardless of the manufacturers have been my least troubling phones that I've used. They aren't perfect. But really the most pleasurable way to enjoy Android.
