Looks like Sony is gonna take away quite a hefty sum from me this year - first will be the Xperia Tablet Z, then this - the only worthy replacement for Note II.

great news. One of the news portal also reported that the devices is aiming at South East Asia countries like Singapore and Indonesia coz ppl here like big screen phones, so SEA will get the devices earliest in July. Malaysia was not mentioned but i think we will get this beast in July too.

not necessary the bigger, the more expensive. Else the LTE Xperia Tablet Z will be RM3k if calculate like that. Note II is just RM100 more than S3 when launched. So maybe this will be just RM100-200 more than the Xperia Z. This is not a mainstream phone coz not all ppl can accept such a beast.

can't agree more. Kinda disappointed with the camera and ram, internal memory of 16Gb also kinda little. Is additional 16GB to make it 32GB really that more costlier?

will grab the 32GB Xperia Tablet Z first before i lay my hand on this. Xperia Ultra + Xperia Tablet Z kinda too over the top. Maybe just keep my Note II and do the Note II + Xperia Tablet Z combo.

haha...i think you are the minority. I never have friends or acquaintance carry a torch light all the time. On the contrary, we love the led flash as torch light once in a while.

and I use the LED flash more as torch light then camera flash coz i hate the wash out look of the photos with flash.

Try out the Xperia Z at Sony Centre but cannot accept the "small" screen. At normal distance (about 25-30cm from the screen, my eyes can't really tell the difference of the screen PPI. If view at 2 inches distance, then can see the Xperia Z FHD screen still looks crisp and smooth but it is not my normal viewing distance.

Hopefully the yet another Honami will give us some top of range specs - 13mp Exemor R cam, 3GB ram, 32GB internal memory, S800, 3,500mAh battery and water-proof. 5" screen is kinda small, wish for a 5.5-6 inches screen though.

HTC is still in my blacklist, no more HTC for me after Desire HD.

yes, ultimately the marketing ppl win. they should really do a proper survey of what the customers really want, not what the marketing think will be a good selling point. dun understand why some big corporation make those obvious stupid mistake.. ***hint hint*** the big M with their Tingkap 8.

i can forgo the glass back for a plastic back with removable battery any time. Now have a spare battery to swap in and out of my Note II conveniently.

looks like it is 5.x device, bingo!!! better match than Ultra to Note II.

do you have a big hand coz it doesn't seems big at all in your palm. comparing it with my hand holding Note II, it appears it is about half an inch longer only.

opps... looks like i have been "fooled".... anyway, nice mod.
