            AnonD-129806, 10 May 2013bandwidth is measured in Hz not bits/s..?Not really my friend. Bandwidth of the memory of a GPU for example is measured in gigabits per second, aka Gb/s. In an FM radio for example, the bandwidth is measured is Hz, or MHz or whatever

                  The reason why I moved from HTC to Sony is for the following reasons: (1) High quality. (2), Good looks, different from the usual pack. (3), Regular updates even for its older models. (4) Reliability. Good work Sony, job well done.

                      I am using Galaxy Nexus , but I Love Sony. I had Xperia Neo V. Sony always giving something new to customers, design especially, where Samsung and htc lacking. If you take last major 10 phones of these three companies Sony design is far better. My new phone will be sony. Dear Sony designers please keep going and give us unique design. Lov u lot...

                              Yay! We must congrats to the better management under the new Sony CEO. With more exciting products in the pipeline, such as Vaio Duo 13, 6.44" Togari smartphone, 5" beast cybershot walkman featuring Honami smartphone, PS4, NEX 7N, etc... I believe Sony will greatly increase their worldwide marketshares significantly with their exciting upcoming One Sony electronic gadgets.

                              Even in Singapore, under aggressive marketing by Samsung and HTC,sales of Xperia Z and SP are doing relatively well. I do see lots of Sony smartphone users on the streets, as well as the Sony headsets for music. Gd job Sony!
