Sony definitely makes some of my favorite phones.

Mind sharing where you got yours from and if you felt it was a good deal?

managed to molest a unit of Z1C @ Changi, feels reasonably solid, and it feels really good in the hands, just like the good old S2..

Changi airport ? Do you know the price or bundle?

The magnetic charging dock is included then?  rclxms.gif
Does it include a memory card?
Price is $798 apparently according to their pre order site  blink.gif
*
Price seems alright with bundle (Sony think its worth SGD 150 tongue.gif). So phone would be worth SGD648 ~ RM1679.

Sony SG site says pre-order is 28/2 - 13/3 but nothing about release date. Right to assume Z1C coming out 14/3 ?

But which is more efficient?
This cable or the dock?  blink.gif

They say you pay for what you get right?  hmm.gif

Well if you travel, the dock is going to be an extra hassle

Heard there's cases and sp available at klcc...anyove can confirm? thks

Ok I was at both KLCC & Lowyat Sony Centre this evening. Both no discount at rm1699 but Sony KLCC had Sony points , so about rm30 store credit. Sony Lowyat offered free SP & cheapo back casing but no points.

I'd say pros of buying from Sony is the 1 or 2 year extended warranty. Rm100 or Rm150 respectively. I got the 2 years since it covers water damage, so no worries for the next 1+2 (3!!) years smile.gif

Disappointed no fantastic bundle ala Singapore but still satisfied with my buy ( KLCC ) since I redeemed a premium SP

Good review on your buying experience at different Sony Centres but I dont think it makes a lot of difference buying from different Sony Centers. You mean the extended warranty is RM100 for 1 year and Rm150 for 2 years? I thought there is only Rm100 for 1 year extended warranty which means 1+1?

But for you guys thinking of claiming for water damage, please beware. I read it somewhere here, a forummer who sent  his Xperia Go to Sony for warranty on water damage had a difficult time doing so. In the end, after much argument they relented and gave him a new set but made him sign an agreement stating that he cant claim for water damage anymore.
*
Not much difference but Sony KLCC was a harder bargain than Sony Lowyat (lowyat offered free SP & case immediately while KLCC had to haggle).

Rm100 1+1 , rm150 1+2 warranty. Offered at both KLCC & Lowyat.

bought it on Friday. so far battery performance is great without stamina mode. even better than my s3 with 3000mah official battery.  i'll think twice root this phone now. maybe decide to keep it clean for a while. haha

batt life is fantastic, 9 hours with setup, downloading apps (wifi), game tests and standard work day phone calls + email + messages etc ... remaining 71% thumbup.gif

what I was even more impressed is the short charging time. Took half an hour to go from 50% to 90%.

anyone knows how to customize the notification light ? Dosen't seem to be an option unlike the XPERIA Sola which I upgraded from.

Kinda weird, because with whatsapp notification, it either blinks purple,green or white hmm.gif

What app do you use to get the battery icon ?

Also when typing a sms/whatsapp/email ... do you guys get a "keyboard" icon showing on the left side of notification bar ?

No app, it's the default kitkat battery icon if you choose to show battery percentage somewhere in the settings. biggrin.gif
Yeah that keyboard noti is there to let you select which keyboard you want to use if you have multiple enabled.

btw, is it my phone only or does this Z1 Compact charges up pretty quickly?
Turned off and charged my phone at 19% at around 7:40 around 9:10ish dah siap green light (although in first charge i notice that green light doesn't means its 100%) 
Standard ke? Maybe i not used to it since my old phone charge very slow biggrin.gif
*
Yeap thumbup.gif

But quick question, I'm using an old HTC charger because of the 3-pin wall connector. But this phone only charges up till 98% even if left overnight ... is this a software feature or its because of the charger I'm using ?

Out-station now so can only try the default Sony charger next week.

So the wifi icon doesn't display or you cannot connect to the network at all ?

I would try the simple things 1st, reboot modem, reboot phone and see if it helps

I got mine from Sony KLCC @ RM1699 but only screen protector so I'd say it was a good deal. What's zero shock film ?

I went through the options (4.4.2) and don't see a wallpaper that looks like Earth & Space ? Closest was Live-Wallpaper of some stars.
