My Xperia Z1 Review [New Photos 08/10/13] - Xperia Z1 General

Hi,
Some of you from the Z forum may remember me for posting a link to my blog where I wrote a review that most seemed to enjoy, so here is a new review of the Z1 that I have just written. Hope you enjoy this one too.
It includes some photos I took myself with the phone, I intend to add more soon.
EDIT: Added a lot more photos!

Will you make a more personal review of the device in the future? I mean no disrespect, but it seems like more of a sum-up of all it can do rather than a personal user experience after one week. There are tons of reviews out there where all they do is list the specs but never really get into the usage of the phone.

I did add a fair few personal comments, mainly on build quality, what I thought it lacked and what I didn't like, but I do see where I could make it more personal in other places. Thank you for your feedback .

DarkOnion's Guide on Choosing an Android Phone

Hi all.
Here's my latest... and another... guide on helping the average person choose an Android phone. Please feel free to share with friends and noobs and what not. Still a work in progress, but hopefully, I'll have it cleaned up in the next few days. Still a lot of grammar and structure things.
Enjoy!

I also thought it was a good article. I used similar criteria when I considered upgrading my phone, although that was with the droid 1. I was upgraded to a refurbished droid 2 recently which made me happy being as its so much faster and had lots more memory.....

Not really i am data mining for the other DEV's i can read most code, but asking me to compile it will take alot of time.
I am just very talented at sourcing info and separating facts from truth.
"i'm a problem solver"
And sometimes that requires you to be direct and harsh in the face of arrogance.
We all have skills.. mine is finding the truth. by discussing and understanding thr human mind.
I am into robotics and my programing skills are very limited. but like i said most code.. i can read and even change.
We really need as much info right now on the touch panel and the chip used.

XPERIA X10 Modding Blog | ROM/Kernel index | How-to's

Hey guys,
since browsing the development forum is kinda messy, I decided to make a blog to simplify things up.
XPERIA X10 Modding
It's currently a WIP. Tell me what you guys think or if I should stop.
I'll try to maintain it to the best of my ability.
The homepage is where I'll post updates and news about the phone/ROMs.
Really nice ! Thanks alot!!!!

Perhaps a brief explanation of the difference between a rom and a kernel would be nice.

I'll consider it.

Attention Developers And SGS2 Users

Hi guys,
You may know me as @shetalksandroid on Twitter or from my personal blog, SheTalksAndroid.com. OR, you may not know me at all
So hi! I'm Ada and I do SGS2 ROM reviews every week but I also write some useful stuff for SGS2 users and Android users in general like How To Guides, Tips & Tricks, and Editorials.
DEVELOPERS! Do you want me to review your ROM or app? Please send me a private message. Oh, and I write reviews for free Do take note that I write PROs and CONs for everything so readers can decide whether or not to install what you made. The final decision is up to them What's in it for you? You get higher chances of getting donations from my readers who like your work. I get 500 to 700 readers every day.
SGS2 OWNERS! Feel free to comment in this thread if you need help on something. I can't post links to my most useful posts yet so feel free to explore my blog or ask for help here I'm no expert but I try to make my guides as noob-friendly as possible.
NOTE: Please understand that ALL my posts are written from an average user's point of view. If ever you find links that don't work and typographical errors, or if you have something to add or suggest, leave comments here or on my blog. Also, I usually update posts and reply to comments on weekends. I have a full-time job and kids so I hope you understand :victory:
Welcome to XDA, where there is alot of kids nowadays. Anyway, i've pm'ed you.

I wish I was still a kid Thank you for your warm welcome! I saw your PM and would love to try it out. Do you personally know the devs?
I can see that it's still a nightly build but I'm curious what it is I won't be able to review it right away since my readers have already suggested some. So sit tight! I will let you know when it's ready.

I think that's great news,and for the developers and for the noobies like me.Welcome
Good news, i'm reading your blog right now. It's good to have someone to review loads of roms. Since most of people don't have time for testing which rom suits their needs. Thanks for your work.

Hi Ada, it's good to have you around. I know you're gonna be popular for your reviews. The problem it's that you're gonna need about 5 devices and 4 helpers to keep the wave of request.
Keep the good work.
Hi Ada... Welcome to the real world Awaiting for your reviews… it’s always good to have some new sides of view… :good:
And finally you came to XDA. I don't know if you remember me but we had a little chat on you cm9 review wayyyy wayyy back. Anyway, welcome to XDA and enjoy your stay
