I hope the power button will not have the same problem like the Z Ultra that doesn't wake up.

    question: so this will be the Sony's next flagship then? thank you

                        AnonD-81428, 22 Aug 2013I wish they could add 3GB of RAM.Why don't you just wish they add 40gb of ram lol! I wish the software is stable and it works seamlessly with hardware. The good thing about handling both hardware and software (like blackberry, nexus or apple), they both work together. Hence no need super horse power to run the phone smoothly

                          Goodbye Xperia Z, Z Ultra, here comes Honami, and then again... again..

                            If Honamy's design turns out as embarassingly cheap as Z's, there is no way I'm buying it. It will be a huge dissapointment to basically see the same phone with upgraded specs. Latest Iphones, Xperias, Lumias... just incredibly dissapont designwise. R they blind? Those cheap plastic buttuns on Xperias, Lumias,... how can you downgrade design (especially it's quality) and expect from people to buy your phones? I agree, great power on/off button on Honami, but the rest of the buttons probably look and feel like on Z - just like those on a 1,5 dollar chinese plastic toy. Same goes for Z's design as a whole. Just take for example Nokia E7 and N8 design and build and compare it to latest Lumias.
                            And remember this, Sony, Nokia, Apple... half of your customers are ladies, and they don't give a .... about specs. They go for the design, great camera, decent browsing and flawless calls - and that's it.

                                Sony's design is indeed impressive. But I no longer buying any of their products. My PS3 lasted for only three months. My 46 bravia led tv is still working after more than two years but with black horizontal line at the bottom of the sceen and some more hair like lines at the upper right corner. And now i see complaints about the ultra z. I was excited about their honami but i am not going to waste my hard earned money on any of their impressively designed yet not so dependable products.
