I was thinking of rooting it, but already update to 4.3, & I'm too lazy to roll back to prev firmware, will wait & see how it perform in 4.4 then I'll decide.
and I heard 4.4 will fixed the camera bug for unlocked phone.
and yeah, white balance will be included in 4.4, probably.

You mean the bootloader? They fixed it in 4.3

ok good to know that

Sure can unless you keep playing games.

keep in mind prices in euro usually more expensive if u do direct conversion

last time Z1 release price in euro is 599 or 699 if not mistaken. almost 2.5k here, everyone heart attack

even they sell T2U at RM1500 is still consider expensive with its specs, consider AP Z ultra is only around RM1400

powerbank + clipcase for Z1

and some rubber bumper case too...

personally, I prefer rubber bumper over alu bumper, sure alu looks more elegant, but like some1 already mentioned, the alu frame itself might scratch your phone, they r metal after all. And rubber is soft, they can absorb impact forces much better than alu. Alu frame is more on deco than actual protection.

Man... I love the walkman series. Had a w810 used it for years. It had both Walkman and camera button

To the european prices is reasonable. Blame our weaker currency vs the Euro. And using euro pricing as comparison is always wrong

can show us some photo? im interested to get one too..

off topic : Xperia T2 look quite nice also actually

Xperia is always nice...

I'm surprised they didn't change the power button that was last year..

wow this is cool stuff. i'm feeling like we are back to the K series again. but i hoping that they will have k+w in one phone though

yeah... i think sony will still stick to the omnibalance design this year. hopefully they'll change the design later this year or latest next year cos too many similar design is getting boring (like samsung's s3/s4 era...).

but this year same design good also. at least lessen the temptations to upgrade my z1 this year

Yea lor but i love the power button position. Easy to access with single handed

Come come download and play

I don't mind omnibalance with minimal bezel (look at T2! Bezel so small at side). But agree that hopefully they change the design or else it is bored

Is this pic taken from Z1?
