XPERIA Z is waterproof.

As for underwater pictures, have to wait for actual reviewers to test that out. If the screen capacitive touch technology is the same as the Acro S, then no. Acro S's screen goes crazy underwater and it doesn't function. Couple that issue with the lack of a dedicated physical camera shutter release button, you will not be able to take anything while submerged.. Unless you set a timer for 2/10 seconds while above the water and submerge it for the shot.

yes easy 2 root, if u unlock bootloader, legally
but if u illegal root with locked bootloader, need 2 do more stuff
if unlock bootloader u loose all sony stuffs like bravia engin n clear audio+

sony service centre, each different location or staff is different lar
but if ur device is under warranty they will change new 1, 4 u.

I like Xperia Z..looks cool and the specs is great.
But i don't like this thread. Too much hate posts. I don't know why ppl love to say bad things about other brand or product. For me..posting about this phone strong points is much better than post about other product weakness. Here, ppl posted bout hate Samsung..bad HTC..stupid iPhone rclxub.gif
It just make me afraid to join this type of Sony community. Try take a peek at other phone official thread. In S2..S3 or Note2 official thread, condemning other phones/product is very rare. They prefer discuss about their own product..and very seldom talk bad things about other product. I use mostly Samsung product but would like to try other product as well. After lurking and reading on this thread, i bought HTC One X+ before upgrade it to Butterfly. Maybe when Xperia Z release here, i might buy one but i don't think i can join this community as i find their mentality quite different to others.

It is impossible to control what people write or contribute. After all it is a forum. But if one were to address the subject matter/issue at hand even though it is controversial and not attack on a personal note, it would make it more pleasant to engage in here. However, there are certain quarters who just somehow are insolent and exhibit their immaturity by posting un-called for terse and condescending remarks.

Totally agreed with you bro rclxms.gif
Like i said before..i love the phone but the same cannot be said about its community. Not matured enough.

I didn't follow this thread 100% so I can't say anything about it. So far haven't read about haters' comments.

But having been to Sony Mobile Forum (not lowyat, but the official one), in comparison, lowyat here is far more mature than there tongue.gif

Makes me stop visiting there and when I find lowyat is far better  laugh.gif

Makes me proud when I think Malaysian can be far more mature than international forum.  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

Calling other ppl retarded definitely not matured. If you're in US forum and call somobody retarded..be prepared to get flamed by almost everybody else. thumbup.gif

I don't call anyone retarded.
If you mean "ujelly", don't let him be the representative of the whole community after 120 pages.  smile.gif

I appologize and i didn't meant you're the one that calling names. But as a community member..others should speak against something rude like that. By silence and do nothing is what i meant that this community not matured enough.
