"Sony today started selling its new flagship Android smartphone, the Xperia Z2. However, at the moment the handset is available only in Taiwan, which was reportedly chosen to be “among the first wave of countries” to get the Z2 because Xperia products are very popular there.
The Xperia Z2 will see a wider availability starting April, when it's going to reach other Asian markets, as well as Europe."
So I guess we will get it in April after all

Me too, but apparently no one from America or Europe was there to have some hands on time with the devices :crying:, I'm dying to see samples of the camera with final software and see the batetry life of the phone :silly:
I'm still shocked that these are selling points in Asia

I saw that someone posted about kreyos about a month ago now. Guess what? I ordered one.
so
get in early!!
Kreyos is a waterproof sports oriented smartwatch, priced at almost 50 percent off. Their indie gogo campaign just started. I think it will go well with my note II.. what do you think?
(full disclosure, refferal program allows for free watch)
here are the links to check it out. The first link gets me a refferal, and the second link does not. Five refferals will get me a free watch, and you guys will have bought yourselves a nice new toy!!

You probably brought in plenty of new pledges already to earn your free watch, right? I saw your post in the lounge of AndroidForums as well
Just from the spec Kreyos looks awesome, no doubt about it. New Sony SmartWatch 2 announced today looks great too, but I'm surprised it only supports bt 3.0 rather than low power bt 4.0...

Just thought of creating a thread for pinoys who own this great device since I noticed many of my countrymen actually have this. Also, post where to find it in your area, etc.
We now have an official Facebook group here:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/sonyxperiaz1cph/
oh hello there, i've also joined tipidcp and facebook of z1c group hehe!
Hi there! Thanks for making a thread for pinoy Xperia Z1 Compact owners.
This is my second Android phone. Been looking for a high-end small device, so coming from Galaxy S2, this phone seems to be the best upgrade I could have.
Where to find in Sta, Rosa, Laguna: Almost all shops in SM City Cyberzone although they widely differ in price.
Anyway, I have a black one 14W16 with AUO screen and no flashbleed. Hope I can get your panel id. Just a little bothered it's and AUO but I do like the blacks on this thing.

not unless your phone is from a different region.
Can somebody share their 4.4.4 ftf file once they are able to download the update? I want to use this with Globe LTE, kinda worried about the LTE problems some experienced with those generic ftfs from the other threads..
up to this point. no official update yet

Does the Neo Hybrid help with the "sharp" feeling of the Edge? Mine should be here Tuesday (both the Edge and Neo Hybrid). I didn't think it was a deal breaker when I tried it out in the store, just wondering if it makes it any easier to hold.

Looks great! Making me rethink my decision of getting the black one! Anyway you can show a picture of the back of the phone case? My edge and neo hybrid will be here on Tuesday. I also ordered the clear case from Spigen too, but that branding on the back of the phone is gaudy to me, so I'm not sure if I want to use the clear one.
Thanks! It looks good! Much better than the pictures on the website. Makes me more secure with my purchase. Hopefully the gunmetal looks as good! Enjoy using that phone

-What is the point of human existence?
-Why do cats have fur?
-Does a Giraffe's coffee get cold before it reaches its stomach?
-Banter!
-I'm running out of ideas...

its a chance to show off your phone no matter if it has a case or not , wht not stick it in some water and take a shot of it that would look awesome
Seems there's more photos in the standard S8 thread rather than here. Anyway, my wife has taken a number of photos with her S8+ and also a video showcase.
