    The Sony Walkman turned out to be absolute rubbish. Initially I was excited as I thought it was an inexpensive music player with amazing battery life, turns out it's an overpriced piece of crap. As a Sony fan I'm really dissapointed.

          Nokia 215 is the second most exciting phone after ASUS ZenFone 2. At least it one of the cheapest and beat backup phone. (Rather than just gimmicks)

            Lamborghini one of the ugliest phone I ever seen.

                    This CES is a disappointment. Nothing spectacular.

                      From the author's comment about the new Sony walkman, can tell that they are really not audiophiles, if not they would not how to appreciate what the new walkman brings. So next time they mention something about the sound quality on phones in their review, I'll take it with a pinch of salt since they don't really know what they are talking about.

                          The Nokia 215 looks nice in black.
                          I could see myself using it in the future.

                            "The 480 x 854 pixel 4-inch screen only intensifies this general feeling and so does the complete absence of a bundled headset of any kind. The player, as already mentioned does run Android, but sadly it is 4.2 Jelly Bean, which again seems unacceptable for a brand new device aimed towards very select premium markets."

                            Are you guys crazy?
                            This is not your typical mp3 player. A person who buys this is a audiophile. The earbuds you usually get are nothing compared to the high end headphones they would just throw it away. Buying a ±1000$ device for music usually means you have the gear that fits it.

                            Also that you get a screen and android is just so that you could look some things up while listening.

                              MrGray, 06 Jan 2015boring ces.exceedingly boring by the sounds of it so far! Low end android trash a Nokia phone that looks like it's from 2003 and some low/mid-range HTC desire phones. Not really anything interesting thusfar!

                                Acer liquid z410. 2455 PPI!

                                  I kinda like Sonys new Bravia Android TV line....
                                  With topnotch hardware inside, x1chip, and only 4.9 mm thin ?!?

                                  That shiat looks awesome

                                  It hasnt been announced yet or what?

                                    its funny that when you hands-on/review normal device you spend some time saying about build quality. but when you have "luxury" device... nothing.
                                    Its funny because I saw few of those "luxury" phones, and build quality was just funny. so what if they use leather, gold, diamonds etc etc if quality is just like in some old phones. You talking about pseudo gap in note4 sreen, but if you would saw some gaps between leather and platinum case on one of vertu phone you would just laugh...

                                      .... Liquid Z410. It packs LTE connectivity and a 4.5" qHD display with a rather low qHD resolution resulting in a pixel density of "2455ppi."

                                      Wow thats pretty low
