      Sony phone have a bad different way they storage files.they split 3 part and the apps you download cant save into your sd unless you root.just my two cent why they just make the storage system same like others so people can store their apps to sd.and last thing i think that silver button ruined all black cool design.people definetly love if they can make it black.

                Ok so im new to android as i recently got the xz and i love it and i have recently used it for under water videoing it works perfect im new to android so im not sure if this is possible but on my old iphone 4 when i had jailbroken it there was this thing called activator that let u change certain buttons to do things like the volume rocker up would snap a pic. Is there any sort of thing for android? Like a custom rom with the option to change it so a push of the volume rocker on the xz takes a pic wen the camera app is open? Or maybe even an app that allows u to do that as i love my xz size its perfect for me i have big hands so i can handle it with ease but i would love the feature to be ale to snap underwater pics without having a smaller screen any help or answers would be greatly apreciated :)

                  First its a good move to add Quadcore combo adding more depth on water resistant level but sony sony sony you always come back into this game which always leaving hole for customer not to love your product totally.please smart enough to know that to put only 8gb in this beauty is just a sick joke.[yes me laughing when me buy dthe v].Be total in your product make a best masterpiece and on top with samsung in any department of your handphone.waiting if you really serious to dominate the market with honami.

                      Looks great inside and out.

                      My only concern is the volume rocker. Where am I supposed to put my thumb?!

                          Sorry if Z sells 4.6M in 40 days, while S4 didnt sell what S3 sells on its first day. And up to now no exact no. For S4!!!

                          Cry all you want but S4 can be the best selling 2013 phone but will decline on sales bcoz sony snatch some of its buyers

                            My next phone will be a SONY, just because of the brand and design. Not sure about the quality, I have been burned many times by sony-ericsson, so I should wait now.

                              its cool. lets just all hope the new panel is also a totally new display panel really, not TN LCD. In that case theyd have a winner.

                                Man, hundred comments after few hours? This phone seems to be quite an attention-stealer. Good job Sony for making me in dilemma.

                                  I prefer Sony than samsung, just look at the build of sony phones and the material they use in it.

                                    Well, I think this may just be the most perfect phone made. Loved the Z for the waterproof function (and lots of other stuff), but it was just too big for my tastes and it didn't have a dedicated shutter button. I loved the ZL for its smaller size and dedicated shutter button, but no waterproof. Now this beast comes along and it's the best of both. (For me at least)

                                      This is the new generation of compact smartphone, but still high-end. OMG! I love the design of this phone more than the Z. It's curved body, but sleek really stands out.

                                      I'd really consider switching my dull iPhone 4S for this.

                                        Almost the compact flagship GSM Arena was petitioning for.
                                        I seriously don't mind replacing my S3 with this.
