New xperia z water damaged...

So i bought my xperia z on friday, (well thursday night as i working in the phone industry) and decided to test the hype....
So i had my phone im and out of bowls of water (about 15 times) bounced off walls, dropped from above my head several times onto wooden /tiles/concrete etc.
And to my surprise the phone with stood all of the attempts to break/water damage it.
But i noticed the phone needed to be charged so i unplugged the rubber seal to charge it and once finished decided to show off again to my friends( forgot to mention that i was at a birthday party drinking heavily) dunked the phone back into the water and it went crazy.
I FORGOT TO PUT THE SEAL BACK IN.....
. So my phone was water damaged..
As i was able to do an insurance.
So all in all, i have never attempted this with any other phone in my life (this was a first) but i was highly impressed with the resilience of this flagship from sony the xperia z....
There wasent even a mark on the anti shatter film that is on front and back of the handset.
So bottom line is that if you are prone to accidents or just not good with phones in general. THIS IS THE PHONE FOR YOU AS TESTED TO THE MAX BY ME...
Just to note that the camera was perfect the whole time leading up to the forgetting to put the seal in...
I also got a few cool photos from under water...
So thats my story.......

That possibly could have helped. Haha.
Funny enough it didn't die.
I was still able to turn it on and bluetooth my photos that i had taken from the party to the new phone..
It did restart a few times and had like water marks on the underside of the screen near the charge port..
So presently suprise it still worked.
But i wont be doing this in a hurry again.
But good to know that if i spill a drink/use it in the bath and drop it down the toilet it would be fine.

Maybe i didnt make it clear enough, i did a faulty exchange on the old handset (sent back to head office as faulty) making it impossible to resell to the general public!

I understand you might work in the industry, so do I, you must be a manger at a store with authority or something similar, as I know for a fact if I tried to exchange mine on the same basis as you did my manager would not allow me too....mainly because as soon as head office received it, they would charge the store the full cost of the handset for returning the phone which was BER. This charge would come out of the store's bonus profit meaning every consultant would be effected....pretty harsh for them when they had no involvement!
But cool story anyway bro! :good:

Not trolling dude, just a but far fetched for me...

Yeah... And while it's built to be a bit more shock-resistant than most phones, it is NOT built for wall-throwing and such.
It's quite impressive it survived that... But this is pretty much warranty fraud if you sent it back as faulty.

Selling the Xperia Z...

I want to trade the phone with the lady in this news article:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/03/08/now-this-is-how-you-sell-the-xperia-z-at-retail/
Sony should do this in every country!
P.S. No I'm not really selling my phone

That is epic hahaha....

It is nice to have a very durable, high end phone

[SF] Xperia Z1 and Ultra

If you are interested you can find the Z1 or the ultra at the official Sony stand at the Westfield in San Francisco.
I'm not getting anything for this advertising indeed. They are tasting the territory and I hope they will open a bit more Sony store in US.

[POLL] what's your next move?

If your going to change your phone what's your next move and why ??

I don't intend to change anytime soon. I'll stay with Z1 for a couple of years.

Idk I might give the z2 ago due it costing me nothing to upgrade... By the summer lol, I get yearly upgrades due to cashback deals lol, but migjt wait to see if they make ultra's successor
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk

Originally thought I was going to get to the New HTC One but after realizing they didn't really upgrade the camera that's not going to happen. The Z2 isn't much of an upgrade for us yet, I might hold out for the Z3. If only Sony gave us IR Blasters and allowed UB for all devices, I would not want to look elsewhere

Definitely getting the z3
Sent from my Xperia Z1

I will stay on my z1 for a long time now- till it gets really outdated.
I like sony so i will probably get a new SonyXperia Z3 or 4
Im`a gamer so if there is any other phone at that time, with much better specs for gaming i would probably get it. -don`t think so they are(& will probably be) all nearly the same.
But for now-for a couple of good years i will stay on my Z1

Z4 I want to get 2 years out of the z1. Maybe one year on stock, and then over to freexperia when Sony kill z1 support in 12 months.

Z3 for me as long as there's a 32gb variant
Sent from my C6906 using Tapatalk

I waited for z2 but now have to wait until May.
I just ordered a note 3 instead. It should arrive at home today after work.
Then 18/24 months see what sony brings out.

so, where's the pool?
Joking, yeah, i'll get the z3 and AFTER a few months, not on launch like my other xperias

Probably Z3...... Or let's see what the iphone 6 brings...

Stuck with my contract for the next 18months but will probably get the next Sony flagship that's out at the time I can upgrade
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app

Based on Sonys release cycle, I predict a Z3 by August, so that will be my next upgrade
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app

Z3 august or iphone 6 September or may just wait even longer for the Z4 jan.

Just got it (used), upgrading from an LG Optimus G
The only reason I upgraded was because of the water resistance, so I don't expect to change in the near future. Performance wyze, the LG OG was already prety good, it's just that LG sucks on updating.
Doesn't seems to be the case with Sony, so I'll probably keep it until my contracts end and I get an upgrade (in 18 or so months)

We don't really need these topics!!! Why people write this stuff, better write something usefull about the Z1, that's what I think

Will stuck with my Z1 until Z3 comes out.

Currently happy with my Z1. Though I'm waiting for the Z3/Z4.
One thing I would like to see is NO FLAPS but still IP58 certified.
