Well, yup. The time has also come for me to leave this nice, cool and awesome community and move to another. The best part of all is that I'm not "moving" far away - I still bought a Sony phone, simply because they are awesome.
So yeah, I bought an Xperia S for a few personal reasons:
- I stopped using the PSP controls for games simply because I got bored of these advanced games (so now I casually play simple games like Angry Birds, Little Alchemy and Temple Run)
- As I aged a little bit and advanced further into studies I realised I need another kind of phone, one that should satisfy my needs *as XPlay did for one year and a half* (good digital camera replacer, better specs, more internal space, FM radio and a few others) - I know that XPlay can still be used as a multimedia phone, but I just feel I need something else
- I heard Xperia S will receive Nexus-like updates in the future - well, considering I wanted to buy a Galaxy Nexus before I heard these news just for this matter, consider it another reason
Well, there could be a few other reasons, but these are the mose essential. It was nice to meet you all, I must give a big thanks to developers and a few other users who made this phone from awesome to extraordinary! Thanks for eveything and have fun with your phone even further.

Hmmm, say, is this new home you're moving to a mental institution? j/k
Also, assuming price isn't an issue, why didn't you for an HTC One X or SGS3? nothing wrong with the Xperia S but it isn't that much of an upgrade.

If only Wuby would follow suit

Oups, sorry for mentioning Angry Birds, it was only an example.
I bought Xperia S because I like the design, the camera, the screen and also because I bought it at a limited offer.
All I could say is that I still miss my XPlay, but life moves on, and I needed a different kind of phone.

Wuby maybe you should stop trolling? Just a piece of advice.

Stop trolling?
I meant that i only do it if someone asks an question and i answer and he ignores and ask again.. That means the guy cant read
Huh? Thats the only thing i do.
All the people hate me, but thats normal.

You should change your sig. It's a bit depressive and it's incorrect. "All the people" DO NOT hate you. I think what it is, is that sometimes you post sarcastic answers that don't really help or benefit anyone. Some of your posts are fine and constructive whilst others aren't, which is what i think people don't like. I think your recent downloading RAM thread has examples of this. Don't mean to offend you.

Same! I was thinking about putting emulators on the PSVita I'm getting for Christmas... But I kinda want to be able to use the PSN so I can play PSO2 when it comes out. I still have my old LG Vortex in hand too.
I'm going to be honest, I LOVE the design of Sony Ericsson phones, but I don't wanna have to pay again to unlock another phone's bootloader. I want to have a nice, non-slide, phone that can flash kernels for free.

GLHF
Good Luck & Have Fun :]

Kid smashes his Xperia Play

I'm actually holding my Xperia PLAY tight in my hand whilst watching the vid

So, "it broke a while ago"..then later it's "it might be working, I don't know", and he removed the sim and memory card...and he hits with the hammer like a little girl..what a **** IMO.:laugh:
I do like how he managed to capture it all on his slim vertical potato camera though.

Or the kid just extremely weak and he hits it in all the wrong places.

Anyone who smashes something for pleasure is a fool and immature. Clearly by the sound of this kids voice his balls have not dropped yet.

I felt so mad about this video, not about the play but how gay he smashes it. My 3 year old daughter could smash a play with 1 hit using a hammer. She can do better than this duffus...

The gallery is really impressive too. Also, I watched a video in GSMArena.com. At the end of the video, they showed some effect like Scalado Remove. In the video, 3 girls were posing, those girls were like a picture and people were moving in the background! Really impressed me!

I like the look of the "sequence" shot thingy, very impressive.:good:

A really common question with today's flagships getting bigger and bigger with every generation. In all honesty i can fit a Galaxy Note 2 in my jeans pocket quite comfortably and i wear skinny fit! Sony have done an amazing job reducing the bevel on the Z as well as making the whole phone super slim, it would fit easily into any pocket, jeans or otherwise.

Very nice review !!
I love my Xperia Z too !!!

I am glad to see this kind of review and from some one who own the XZ! Most of reviews out there are from testers, who had phone for like 2, maybe 3 days. I shared your review on Slovenian android forum also

really good rewiev from u i all"so traid my Note 2 for this bad-boy and more than happy i got it. in other words...the phone is F...ING AMAZING!!!! victory:

Also had my SXZ for one week now. I think it's really awesome. Some bugs at Google search, but it got fixed after the last phone update.
The Facebook picture rotation got better by the time. Just need to upload when watching the picture instead of going into face first. But I see when I upload it loses the BE2 effects, any tips on that one?
Batteri lifetime is much better than iPhone tho.
I picked the Xperia Z out instead of S4 because of the water resistance. Rather water resistance than a phone that can see where I see.

Yeah i always find it difficult to find a decent review for any phone, as you say, most of them are from testers, and its not their own phone that they use all day every day.
Thank you, Im glad you liked my attempt at a review, and liked it enough to share it on another forum . I wasnt sure what reaction i would get or even if it was any good but posted it here to get some feedback and im really happy the feedback has been so great .

Good review agree with you on most things but tbh I can't notice any lag. They should improve the speaker though.
And it would be nice if you could change the application drawer in some way.

It might well be that I have quite a few widgets and folders, but seeing that Apex never lags with exactly the same layout, there must be an issue somewhere but as always, every body's experience will differ.

i also enjoy the xperia z quite a bit.
i am a USA user, & the phone does quite well, although without 4g capabilities.
i was previously using a lumia 920. & this phone is much more of a beauty, & elegant than the 920.
i will have to admit that the 920 did take superior photographs in night time situations, eg: night club photographs, out @ night photographs with friends. etc.
i look forward to many more sony flagship handsets.

Zoe is what tipped the scales in favour of the One over the XZ. Hope it takes off in a big way.

This will probably sound stupid and obvious but how do you get the videos to go in order?? my Zoes do the photos and videos randomly?

Quick question, did you add the audio yourself afterwards in another program or do you do it through a "zoe feature" and select from a bunch of different audios?
