Sony Convert - One (M7) General

So I have officially placed my order for the Xperia Z Ultra and it will be here come Tuesday. With that much screen real estate I just couldn't resist. I know I'm going to miss the BoomSound speakers, but outside of that, I'm ready to see how this thing works out. Anyone else leaning towards getting the Z Ultra?

Silly, maybe. From what I've seen so far, the build quality is sound, the phone is snappy, the screen is responsive. The HTC one Max would have been a decent alternative if it had been water and dust resistant.

I absolutely love Sonys ui, colors and feel. From the One to the other, don't know, you gotta decide lol. But that's a damn good phone, the Sony. Hope it's viewing angles are ok, that's Sonys only flaw. I have the honami, Ultra launcher, on my one now. Love it.

Nexus 3... by HTC? Looks like a possibility!

Just saw this...

+1, HTC >>>>>>>>>>>> LG
And what? You sure it isn't an iphone crap in that picture?
I hope so, and I like that image. No buttons, truly tablet convergence ice cream sandwich.
Hopefully the internals are something exciting like that N1 had for its time.
Going off my HTC experience the fewer buttons the better...
i prefer HTC/Moto
No trackball..... Trackball notification alerts are the best. Imagine an N1 with a 4" screen dual core, front camera, 4g and a trackball. That s my ideal N1 replacement.

i like the buttons but cheers to htc!
I've had the N1 now NS. And a Hero and EVO in between. While I love the build quality (feel) and the development for HTC devices, I had nothing but hardware problems with all of them. Both the T-Mo and Sprint versions of the NS have been flawless, so I'm kind of torn if I would upgrade to the N3...

I wanna see lg and sony ericsson entries as well. I'm just a bit disappointed with htcs design for right now. No capacitive buttons are just fine. But please dammit, listen like you've listened on the boot loader. Put in the trackballs as they have never been a problem but a compliment.

I would be happy if it came out with a 4.7" screen, because then I wouldn't feel a need to downgrade from my 5" DNA. On the other hand, an aluminum phone with specs superior to the DNA may just force me to switch carriers again. :?

It's kind of standard in forums where a large number of users are interested in switching to a device. It's off topic, but I see it a lot. Like in the Rezound section there's a thread for people discussing the DNA with fellow rezound users, there was probably a rezound thread in the thunderbolt section last year, etc.
It will worth if they put on the new Qualcomm cpu...as for design htc is really great on design for phones....but personally love black & red combination. That's why I own sensation xe and rezound except DNA...as for build quality I am sure would be great...if the m7 aka one will be same as in render photos...I think that will be very beautiful but not as DNA...
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
well if this phone has a 4.7 inch screen I see no reason I would downgrade to it but at 5 inches, I may just have to dumb my DNA, I am on att so Verizon not getting is is not a issue for me.
The 4.7" screen will mean higher ppi....and that might be their only point against other OEMs.....that's sum trick from HTC "oh let's pull them to the 5" barria then run back and make a phone smaller for every day use" ...to be sincere 5" should have been a no go area for smartphones ....phablet and 5" is brtter

Whatever. Imagine these phones to be like the great wrestling tag team of Legion of Doom. The DNA is Animal and the M7 is Hawk. These devices should dominate of thier carriers. The DNA will thrive on the Verizon network and the M7 will be good for Sprint. Eventually, the M7 will come to Verizon but I'm not ready to jump to get it. Its just another phone and in my mind I have the best on the market.

Yep unless its coming to Verizon makes no difference to me at this time. I doubt it will and even if it does it will take months.
i can care less about the m7 honestly. im happy with my dna, but what id really love to see a sense 5.0 rom or ota for the dna
The design is sexy. I'm loving the DNA but I don't mind HTC starting to push design in that direction at all.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
Not enough of a hardware upgrade to make me hypothetically regret my DNA purchase (since it isn't available on VZW), but hopefully some of those UI changes will percolate over to the DNA (perhaps contractually already in the pipeline, and the reason for the no-thanks from VZW?). While it's a crazy pain in the ass to get to the local photo storage (why not have a drop down menu for the cloud options?!?!), the Zoe gallery previews from the Youtube video look really great - very Harry Potter-esque, if you will. Obviously, the exclusive hardware things like the speakers and OIS camera are nice, but the DNA takes acceptable photos, and nothing, not a Nokia or HTC, is ever going to take photos that replace my Sony NEX-5N.
Hopefully, the Zoe enhancements aren't hardware dependent, but otherwise, would love to see a quick upgrade for the DNA to Sense 5.

Got to play with it..

The aluminum body felt great and not cheap in the hands. I have the note 2 and think I will buy this phone as well. The list of new features goes on and on. If they can get proper advertising, this phone will be a great success for htc.

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.

Sent from my C6603 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
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.

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
