Yesterday I met him for several minutes.
Very loud.
Very light and thin. As if holding a screen only.

Errr, how tall are you irl, OP ? Mainly asking to get a visual of your average hand size in my head, cause the phone looks huge in those pictures.

That is the size of X10 a little longer. Photos are closeups and that is why they look like that.
Yep, tried multitouch visible test and I get four points. A fifth finger makes no impression... The four that are there are rock solid, though. Can't say as I see a clear need for all five fingers at the same time, but maybe I'm missing something?

No need for more then 4 tbf
But the digitizer is supposed to support up to 32 so a custom rom will prob make more avalible if needed

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Press Release seminar two days ago in Hong Kong, with actual Engineering sample units to be played with.
Damn this thing is really light. I've also heard that DoCoMo in Japan has released the red colored version exclusively, aside from the silver and dark blue edition that is released as originally announced. The exclusive unit also has double the size of ROM for storage as well!
How I wish I can bring that home right away... haha!
BTW it comes with an HDMI cable if you purchase from online SE or directly from the Sony Store with the arc, but if you purchase Neo, it will not be bundled with.

Yeah, the "other" colour for Japan is pink The 1gb ROM is a mistake on Docomo's part, and for some reason they chose to not give us the HDMI cable over here (the shop staff I asked didn't even know the Arc had HDMI out )

Since the unlocked Xperia Arc is available through the Sony Store it is probably safe to say AT&T is going with the Neo. Just speculation on my part but it will only be a matter of time for that will be announced.

My first one! I bought it on Sony Style USA. Initially, I was going to stick with my X10a, since it would get 2.3 soon, until the successor to the arc (duo?) is released later this year or early next. But, I just could not help myself once I saw it on Sony Style. I hope I did the right thing!
You have been searching for long time and I have already been through 3 arcs. I am going to order this silver one and report back. I hope it is the right one. are you sure Rogers has not released silver yet?

So I'm more of a lurker than a poster but since I got this new phone I'd like to share
If you have any questions just ask (^^)b
Coming from a Samsung Galaxy S2 so far I love the screen (can never understand why people want a 150 degree viewing angle!) and the look and feel of the device is so much better )))
Some video would be nice, playing 1080p videos and games and some screen transitions with widgets etc.
I'd really want you to make some battery life tests, and as many UI screenshots as possible - that would ba great
Also, i officialy hate you for being in Japan while i'm not ( really really want to visit Japan! )

Hey, in Japan Xperia Z available in Sony stores? They must be unlocked, right?
Also since you got the phone, you can try out these apps as well

I'll see what I can do about taking a video of it playing a video lol
I only got it today so I haven't even fully charged it yet. I'll give it a full run out tomorrow and see how long it lasts.
Things of note so far, the screen is much more accurate than the galaxy s2. While typing at full speed I hardly make any mistakes but I made quite a lot more with
the s2. Also it seems to collect a lot of fingerprints so I would recommend getting a screen and back cover
You definitely have to come to Japan sometime, it's awesome!
yeah the phone is available in sony stores and I assume they are unlocked but I haven't asked them.
I bought it with docomo because it's cheaper
what apps?

Bro,
Nice of you to share your joy here. I'll be waiting till it comes out here on 1 March.
However, I'd like you to try a short test. How long does it take for the phone to wake up from deep sleep?
The reason I ask is Galaxy S2 and S3 takes a while to wake up as seen from my video:

You might be familiar with this behavior has you own an S2.
Thank you in advance!

You're also getting a rebate on service (which effectively ties you to Docomo since the rebate expires immediately if you exit early on top of your ETF and remaining handset obligation - in fact the Japanese word for phone contracts has the same root as the word used for bondage).
Congrats man..Lucky you! Waiting for a hands on video..Maybe in a dark room [lights turned off].
Can you compare 3g signal strenght in dbm asu put sony z and your gs2 on table with same carrier

Yes but the fact that some still have it like my mom still kept hers I figured I would keep them updated, the only reason T-Mobile did not upgrade was the Z1's KitKat was extremely buggy like sound issues etc and they wanted to wait for those problems to be resolved.

It is also possible to update without losing root; just not through OTA.
Az you see that 4.4 is rolling out for z1 so if we are not update by middle of july it is not going to happen.
Tmobile reps are pushing people to not to by z1s not a good sign.

Why and where has it been said t mobile is urging customers to return or not buy the z1s?

Sent from my C6916 using xda premium
I did not buy my z1s in the store. However last time I was in the tmobile store about a week ago they were pushing Samsung on everybody. Unless someone came in specifically looking for the Sony they would never point anybody in that direction. Even if someone came in looking at the Sony I could see them easily convincing them to get the S5 over the Sony. They are both water proof (now I know this is not true but to the average consumer who sees them both dunked in some water they are) they both have great cameras. Salesman follow it up with S5 is newer and there is no way Joe consumer is picking the Sony.
I am sure they are getting commission bonuses when selling Samsung phones. Hard not to do that as a sales rep.

I would never buy a galaxy s phone... the way the bezel is designed makes me think of girls and their bubbly letters. My rep was cool though. I went in there, got my dad a G2 for father's day, and told him I wanted to upgrade from Z to Z1s. He didn't question any of my decisions.

I got mine in another country, that is, there is no guarantee with Sony, just to the store, but it will be very difficult to replace the device.

I choose the standard z5 because it's only marginally bigger than my XZ premium is to big for me

Well, usually with Sony (dunno bout the other manufacturers), the first batch comes with some defect/s. You have to check personal reviews, here in XDA and other forums.

Mine is a UK rev 2, there's no problems here. You can't draw a generalisation from a few reported cases.
With every shipped batch, regardless of Rev number, there will be faulty phones.

And how will I know whether UK or Taiwan? The device box indicate?
I got a golden Z5 (non compact) REV3. My right- and bottom sides of the screen are unresponsive. It's only a couple of millimeters but it makes it hard to press "p" and space on the keyboard.
Also reading that some people have back light bleeding.
My problem doesn't seem to effect many people though.
I have a rev1 from the UK with no issues. Screen is fine. Sound is fine. Camera is perfect. The only issues are software related which I hope Sony fixes in the near future.
From what I have read the rev3 series seems to be the ones with the majority of the issues. I wonder what the difference was in the manufacturing process?
Hi guys. How do you go about finding if your Z5 is a rev1 etc? I am thinking of buying my Z5 from Clove either this week, so it would be good to know.
