hi hi
just want to add, slightly after one year with my Z1 and loving it.

on Nov 1st i brought my Z1 to Viper Challenge, it was dip with mud and pool of muddy water a few times even it is stored on a pouch on my shoulder. took it out and wash it in the lake and that i think was one of the best "indirect" advertisement for Xperia waterproof phones.

as i took it out near a lake and wash it in water because it was covered with mud stains from the mud pools, lines of people were looking as i wash the phone with ohmy.gif blink.gif and then i cleared away the stains, swing it a bit to get the water drops off the phone as much as possible and use it to take picture. i heard an exclaimation "ohh thats an xperia" from somewhere... hahaha...

took like an hour to 90min though.

one thing i notice is that the theme's in personalization, only changes the wallpaper and not the buttons or menu color.

my phone went for a triple flip and ricochet twice, the screen cracked, under the protective glass screen protector. shocking, the glass screen protector has no damage.

now thinking is it worth repairing the screen?
i remember reading somewhere in this thread it cost around rm800?

after the latest upgrade, now my Xperia Z1 is 14.6.A.1.236 and a phone reset, its running really smooth and nice.

as for the camera, i feel that the hardware is really really good but the Z1 default camera software is horrible. so in the end, every photo i taken i use a third party app, Camera 360.

it won't be too long before i will change my phone as my Z1 battery has already bloated & the back screen glass cracked, a dent that allows water into the front screen, it doesn't feel like its worth the repair cost anymore.
