Sony is slowly but surely finding its feet. Those numbers,if true, are very encouraging for Sony (and a feel good factor for us Z owners )
Lets hope the upcoming flagships cement Sony's position and reputation as a top manufacturer.

The article says "Sony could sell 4.6 million units of the Xperia Z in just 40 days"
So it does not say they they DID sell that many.
We'll, I hope they did. The phone is one of the best Sony have released in a long time. Everyone that I have shown it to is blown away by it. Easily the best Android phone I have used and I've had them all from the G1 till now
Edit: The article linked in the op is terrible. I still hope Sony move some units though as this phone is phenomenal!

LMAO. The Galaxy S3 sold more than 50 million. Nice try buddy.
I like the fact that this phone is a rarity. Makes it more exotic.

That info has been doing the rounds since yesterday. It's been reported by many quoting analysts. I don't think they'll be too far from the actual figure. It'll either be slightly less or slightly more.
It's still an impressive number and when you consider the fact that the phone isn't on sale in America, it's even more impressive.
Looks like the HTC didn't take much away from the Z but the S4, that's another story all together. Sales will definitely drop but if they can keep shifting 1.5 million of them every month. They'll finish the year ahead of target which is the most important thing. The Z was never going to wrestle the crown from Samsung. They are too far out in front for that but with good performance, they'll reach their target on claiming the number 3 spot from Huawei. No small feet indeed when you consider the very large Chinese market. Sony's unlikely too to penetrate the Chinese market because of the history between both peoples. They'll just have to rely on the rest of Asia and Europe. That's why they need to start looking to expand their reach in America. Europe and Asia might have been well receiving of the Z but without America, Samsung and Apple will stay out in front. HTCs problem is the reverse, they have a presence in America, particularly the US but elsewhere, they just have a niche following. With the exception of Taiwan of course.

Yes, let the fashion hindered people keep buying the s3 or s4. I cringe at the sight of one, it looks that bad. I don't understand why people are so in love with it.
To be honest, the only reason why Samsung picked up in the US is because if their kind replacement policy. Sales rep will sign your contact and claim 2-3 free devices on your behalf to make money.

Great promo.
The Apple fans were bemoaning how this insults Apple fans...
The thing is - at no point in the ad does it mention Apple, or iPhones or anything.
We all know who they're talking about because the stereotype... isn't really a stereotype.
So, the question is - unless you're proud about sitting in line for days, waiting for features the rest of us already have, having to deal with new connectors and so on... why complain?

Yeah, the big scandal. The iphone 4 antenna problems were solved in the 4S. I would generally be in the list of new icrap releases, but seriously I got tired of waiting on Apple to come up with something innovative. The only reason I continued using an iphone is because I spent hard earned money on many many apps and there is data I had concerns that would not be transferable: contacts, password list, repairs history on my motorcycle and vehicle, etc. But enough is enough, I'll be trying to get an Samsung Note 2 next month, and there will lots of manual input.
Maybe thats one of the reasons so many people keep buying iStuff. That doesn't justify people camping out outside a store tho....

It's hard to innovate when all you do is buy and patent other people's inventions. It's gotten to the point of ridiculousness now.
I love this video, I used to work at AT&T and would get calls all the time about when the iPhone was going to get MMS. The first time i got that call i went through troubleshooting because I refused to believe a phone that expensive didn't have MMS.
All of the sudden i felt a lot better about my Candy Bar symbian phone.

Funny I have had the phone for 2 weeks and really enjoyed her review good find
I've watched her review of Galaxy Note 2 before i bought it. Honestly - i like her style very much. She focuses on the device, and not on spec/brand wars or what's "best" or "outdated". Some people forgot that not the absolutely best on the market doesn't mean bad and worthless.
Is the loudspeaker really that bad???
I really hope not.

Jump "back"? You did own Note 2 previously then? Why'd you ditch it at all in the first place?

I tried the experia z as well..
Although I loved the crisp screen the battery life was just awful compared to the note. I think I will stick with my new note II for a while and wait until the next generations of hardware.

Actually it's not idiotic, people love to get new phones and I would like to swap it for a week. But I wouldn't have it for a long time since the screen is way to small. But I wouldn't be mad if I got one. As there is much awesome features in Xperia that I like but Samsung doesn't have. But the feature way I think Samsung is better. But I would definitely like to use Xperia Z due to it wouldn't be boring to get another phone to play around with
Also about customisation they got some themes standard. And I think it's sad that Samsung doesn't have that. I like to customize my phone and change the look. HTC is one of those who actually is one step forward but they got too few themes but it changes even the notifications and pull down bar. Sony just change the icons and menu background. But what can we change from Samsung? We need 3rd party apps to change what we want. It's a bit of a shame.
I can't call it idiotic to swap the note ii to Xperia Z it's all about what you want to do with your phone.
So your comment is idiotic no matter what people will one day be tired of their current device but they maybe not be able to change. I'll wait for note iii or ill change to galaxy mega as its a cool phone/tablet

Got to borrow a Z for four days a while back to try out LTE in another city. Atrocious screen (Seriously terrible), poor battery life, bad camera, & broken software. Shame, as I love Sony's industrial design, and their approach to Android skinning is rather nice. Keep wanting them to make something great, they get close at times but the basics are all wrong.
Note keeps on being fantastic.

I paid £600 exactly in UK and it came with an hbh20 BT headset. Think there's a few more weeks til it's stateside, heard rumours about 11th October... They didn't officially announce it here at all, just turned up in stock on 11th and luckily I was keeping an eye out. Awesome phone, man, just awesome, hope you get yours soon, be good to have you on their forum.
The 6802 is available I think which is the 3g version.

That poll result is extremely expected since I've only seen such hype preceding a phone when Apple was about to release the original Iphone. Apple was in a much better position though as nothing comparable existed at that time ....
Lets just say everyone was wayyyyyy too optimistic about the current speed of progress
Ppl were too gullable regarding the pre release leaks.. If there had been no leaks, I'm sure more ppl would've been satisfied and at worst indifferent towards the new s5

And I said that you can't base anything on these polls. You got those who genuinely don't like the S5, you have fanboys (HTC, Sony), you have trolls ect... If you wanna base anything on something concrete wait till you see how many units the device sell. These polls are meaningless.
