So last week I was planning on buying an ipod touch 4g or a dell streak 7
But then I tought my mini pro was going to last for maybe another year
So I started to look for android phones with hardware keyboard when the htc desire z cought my eye
I started searching for prices and I found a deal at amazon that comes with a 16 gb sd card
All together for 390 dollars
So I might be ordering it when summer ends
Now you guys share your toughts of your future phone or just make an opinion about my post ;-)

i'll go for xperia mini pro or qwert variant of galaxy sII hope they'll launch!
my next phone will not be SE anymore
I just take a Galaxy Tab and bye bye X10 mini pro...
Good phone, but form factor problems (little little screen) and no support from SE (no froyo )
That's a shame

DON'T BUY I****! no iphone, no itab, nothing that start with I, they SUX, personal experience.
You can buy sgsII or optimus2x(it's cheaper )
Keyboards vs Dualcore i would choose dualcore
Well, I would simply wait for the Nexus 3. But if you like the x10 mini pro's form factor and can bear with a single core, get the xperia mini pro.
Yo estoy esperando el Xperia Pro aunque todavia le falta varios meses para salir, pero mi plan se me acaba como en medio año mas asi que solo falta esperar que el precio sea bajo. Tiene teclado fisico, buena pantalla y camara.
Ese precio del Desire se ve muy bien ademas HTC tiene records de ventas muy buenos, supongo que los telefonos sirven bien jaja. No se si ya lo hiciste pero checa en la seccion del foro de ese cel a ver si tienen buenos ROMs que valgan la pena porque parece que no hay android 2.3 oficial.
English:
I'd wait for Xperia Pro, Desire sounds good, check if there are good ROMs around.
Nothing from SE most likely. If I get enough cash, an iPhone is most likely. My iPad is absolutely amazing. If not, Android by HTC.
HTC Desire!
I had a iphone 3gs but hated it. For me its gonna be the one in my sig unless summat better comes out before it.
Evo 3d or optiomus 3d got both ,,,,,oooooothere so cool but my scrached mini is still the one ,,even with the huge scrach on the screen peace
Ps dont get a I phone ,,,, but my brother mods them so check his page out http:/jailbrak.net
The king is Samsung Galaxy S II
se will get **** from me from now on as a sign of gratitude for the ongoing support of x10 mini. **** u se may you be bought from microsoft and your head offices burn to a crisp
The HTC Desire Z just got a confirmed future oficial release for android 2.3. So I guess it's even more of a great option to consider it.
I replaced my X10 Mini already in April with a HTC Desire HD. Keeping the X10 Mini as secondary phone until the beginning of June. When I put the little wonder back in it's box.
Going from the 2.55" screen X10 Mini to the 4.3" screen of the DHD was quite a something.
Got a little sentimental for few days ago and restarted the X10 Mini which hadn't been recharged since putted back in the box.
Got surprised how slow the phone was thought I ran it without a SIM-card and had installed alot of useless freeware apps from the market, the last week I used the phone
BTW found some snowy photos on it's memory card from last winter
Htc desire s... Allready on my pocket
buy any phone or what you want.but not SE
was a toss-up between desire z and xperia arc, but will prob get the new mini pro next month. a single core is fast enough for me (dont play high-end games, just want a smooth UI)
i like having a smaller phone (have x10 mini atm) but would like a physical keyboard to make using emulators a bit easier
i know there's a chance se will stop supporting it, but it will start off with 2.3 which means i can use flash, and it has a hvga screen so a lot more apps will be available than with the qvga x10 mini, which is good enough for me sinc i've got x10 mini working just how i want it (so hopefully wont be long before new mini pro is rooted!)
I definitely won't be using SE again...how the mighty have fallen.
I am appalled at how they have just simply forgotten and dropped the X10 lineup - particularly the mini.
Installing apps 2 SD is HIGHLY needed, especially with the X10 mini/pro's low phone memory, yet SE refuse to support and upgrade it...not even to 2.2!
It's disgusting to loyal customers (I have owned sony ericsson phones happily for the past 6 years, but my X10 mini pro has left me appalled).
I have even looked into getting a new phone even though I only got my X10 mini pro in January....
I also looked into the HTC Desire Z, but it is very heavy and slightly too large, especially from moving from the Mini.
However there seem to be bigger problems, such as them frequently dieing after 2 weeks (for no reason), over-heating and re-booting issues (even whilst stock), and having a weak hinge.
I'm looking to install Apps2SD on my rooted Mini...if that fails I may look into other phones, however I'm nt sure about Desire Z - all I'm saying is do your research before taking the plunge!
The upcoming Xperia Pro looks very good (better than the Desire Z with same screen size), however it's a Sony Ericsson...and I am not gonna support their products after the shameful disrespect they showed X10 customers...
The arc is a slow turtle. Get x-play if it's possible, stock battery and stock firmware gives 2 days even with moderate usage.
I'm using the galaxy ace, 800 mhz Turbo processor that can probably be overclocked in the near future to 1 ghz.. it's already running smooth now.
XDA ♥
Seems like telcel just put up the Xperia Play for free with a Mas x Menos 3 (w/o data plan) for 12 months, saw a site saying it and a facebook page offering the Play for free with a contract but didn't say any details.
If you're interested you could call or go to a CAC Telcel and ask about it.
I should stop looking into phones when I shouldn't be getting one.

Possible Specifications Sony Xperia Z2 Ultra
Emmanuel Jimenez |June 22, 2014 17:05| 0 comments
Sony not only launch a new flagship this year, Sony Xperia Z3, but could also launch another high-end smartphone a Sony Xperia Ultra Z2 . Now, they have released any technical specifications of this smartphone, it would be a large version of the current flagship, the Sony Xperia Z2.
So, count on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 until March, was the best processor that was available on the market. Although now available on Qualcomm Snapdragon 805, we can say that the difference between these two is not noticeable. Moreover, we can say that there is no user to be able to distinguish the level of these two processors. Also, keep in mind that this new Sony Xperia Z2 Ultra would have a 3 GB RAM. Again, it must be said that the difference between the RAM and 2 GB is ultimately not so remarkable, but the fact is that if you have to choose between a processor or better 3 GB RAM is better to opt for the latter option, because in the future it could itself be decisive. The internal memory of 16 GB would be, but could be expanded via a microSD card.
Sony Xperia Z Ultra
As the multimedia components are concerned, the Sony Xperia Z2 Ultra would have a 20.7 megapixel camera, the camera flagship smartphones from Sony. By the way, you could record as 4K. It would have a LED flash and a secondary camera of two megapixels.
However, the Sony Xperia Z2 Ultra screen highlights. It would be a 6.44-inch screen, slightly larger than the 6.3 inch screen of the Xperia Z Ultra. It is not known what the resolution of this screen QHD or whether it would be Full HD, but hopefully QHD because a larger screen, higher resolution is most decisive.
Of course, the Sony Xperia Z2 Ultra is waterproof and will feature Android 4.4.3 KitKat and operating system version. No news on the possible launch of the Sony Xperia Z2 Ultra, although it is possible that the presentation of the smartphone is made at IFA 2014, as in the case of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

Lots of coulds and woulds.
Take it with a grain of salt.
And Z Ultra is 6.44 inches right? This says it was 6.3. Seems rather fake to me

Mexicano here.
The text is so large so I'll make it brief:
-Xperia Z ultra will have:
Snapdragon 801. Even though the 805 is already in the market
3GB for RAM
16GB ROM
20.7 MP camera with 4K capable recording
LED flash
6.44 inches
They don't know the real resolution for the phone. But they hope it'll be QHD
^ Remember guys, all the above information are simply RUMOURS.
The very slight cpu upgrade to Snapdragon 801 and the absurd 21mp camera and the pointless 2mp front camera makes it seem more fake.
Imagine the noise in the pictures at 21mp? Our current 8mp camera produces a lot of noise let alone 21.
13 or 16mp at the most is more believable. No way Sony will upgrade the cpu to 801 when 805 is already out...
Hi to all xperia z2 users.
I have galaxy s4 currently and planning to upgrade my phone. I don't have a big budget but recently the price for xperia-z2 is dropped in eBay India (imported ones)
The other attractive phone for me is the xiaomi MI 4, I love their Miui 6. MI 4 is far cheaper compared to the xperia-z2 and specs are about the same.
So I am looking forward for your opinions on this Sony phone. Does it worth to buy. I heard Waterproof is not working for everyone. Is that correct?
Or shall I go for MI 4 or any other phones..
Edit : If anyone has any experience or suggestions on xperia z1 compact, please respond. I love that small beast.
Thanks in advance

In my opinion its worth buying because i personaly love the sony UI
i recomend Xperia Z1, ZU if your not wiling to pay for Z2
if not an Xperia Nexus 5 is definatly something worth it and if you can pay up for a LG G3 then its worth it
Oppo N7 and One+one are alternates which are worth it, with the One+ being better than the N7 in terms of other quality
the Water proofing with Xperia Z2 is only a problem with Defective units
any questions about a phone ask

Do you have any idea on the Z1 compact. ? about it's performance compared with Z2.
And also, does these xperia z series phones (especially black ones) have wears and tears (of finger) on the back panel ?
* I believe, this doesn't affect much in while color phones ?

Performance is simular, Z2 being slightly faster due to hardware but not by much due to firmware
Xperias dont realy ware easy exept the flaps/port covers
White colored or lighter colored phones dont realy discolor or smudge too much unless you dont wash your hands often :/
I think the best bet for a device that is good is wait for Z2 to get 4.4.4 at this point
The device is tougher than Z1 and has a overal improved feel than Z1, its also not as expencive as Z3 and with this new upcoming update (probably couple months max im guessing) then Z2 is definatly worth it
Id take it in black just because damage doesnt show as easy with me and my clumbsyness
Thank you Envious_Data. You are being helpful.

Yes please, Im using the sony concept on my z3 compact phone and its amazing, its amazingly fast, and the feature I am waiting so much is adoptive storage, I have a 64gb micro sd on my tablet but since the 16gb internal fill up so much its pretty much useless to have a micro sd, on my phone on the other hand with android 6.0, it takes the micro sd and the internal storage as one partition, so I dont have to worry about moving any file, and as far as android goes, I have 70gb of storage , I NEED THIS ON MY TABLET NOW!!

Yep only thing im intetested in with marshmallow is the storage improvement. I have a 128gb and 200 gb card waiting but suspect the 128gb is the max for this device.
Sony is slated to release Android 6.0 Marshmallow upgrade to Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact in a few weeks' time.

same here, only got 5.0 update notification.
(I am still in 4.4.4, 23.0.1.A.0.167)
Still waiting Sony......
Still waiting. Early-mid March. Xperia Z3 Compact Tab SGP621. Heck, I didn't even get the 23.4.A.1.264 update.
dudes i have PERFECT results as concern speed and battery with stock KK and this fully debloating script http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/kk-debloating-script-xperia-phones-t3192846.I have more than 10 hours screen on time with browsing internet.I am not an expert but from what i read about android 6,i don't believe that it will be more stable from KK.Basically i believe no-one OS till now is better from KK.And don't forget that 34% from all android devices run KK.Also if you have root like me,you can easilly customize your rom to add android M features

Doesn't look like the Tablet gets the beta.
Just have to wait
(But it works great on lollipop too, maybe better on kitkat, but I never used it on KK).
On the Z5 on the other hand, lollipop was lollipoo.
Its ridiculous we almost at April and we still dont have MM on Z3tc...
I have some bugs on my device probably fixed with 6.0.... Sony is the worst to release updates. =/

I know it supersucks because we and the z2 tablet are the only ones who don't have MM, z5 have it and Z3 and z2 users have the concept since December and now the beta... But us NOTHING, The Z3 line all have the same processor, the EXACT model, is that hard to make available the concept for us??.... .....
The whole Sony tablet phone is not bad to the ones are not super into especific stuff, but about updates and that Sony sucks a lot.
For me is the last thing Sony I will buy tablet or phone atm

what will you do more with MM?
This tablet runs better than every MM tablet ...
Anyway I have Samusng and Sony smartphones and they get MM togheter in march but for example Nexus got MM before: it crashed, drained battery and it seemed a crash test of the new Android version...I prefer a better device with a better software, also if the software is older labeled but play more things than newer
Continuation of the 2014 thread.
OK, I'll chime in. Just short of paying $1K for the new Note 8, I'd say the Z Ultra still holds its own.
Yup , Z ultra is my dailly driver for almost every thing , amazing battery and running KK, Aosp MM , lollipop , marshmellow and Noughat almost every thing , I bet it will run Oreo as well , coz of its powerful hardware ... if by any mean we will get the binaries and some devs who are still working on building .for this amazing machine..

I can ask you a tip ...
I had this terminal just came out, but then I sold it, now I bought it back, and as soon as I got installed a number of roms, but in all the roms I tried the battery convinces me. I changed the battery, but I think but I do not think the situation is combiata.
What rom you use?
Anyone still using Sony ultra z in Nvember 2020? I got myself a Huawei mate pro30 - like its speed , camera and the fact I can install as many applications that I like without worrying for its storage space and memory. Yet scrolling Facebook just on it just made me missed my Sony ultra z - I miss the big screen and the Xperia Chinese keyboard which offers t9 English keyboard and ability to write Chinese on it. I bought Huawei mate30¤ pro as it's half its original retail price and the fact of it has 5G option makes it an easy ( but regrettable decision)...

Yeah, still using it, for the same purpose I purchased it back in 2014. With OruxMaps it gives a great Bicyle GPS. It is easy & Cheap to repair (Battery, Screen, all easy to get) and I even bought a second one as backup. Latest Android 5 updates were supplied from this forum until end of last year - what more can you expect? Further Software updated would be great, but it will even continue to work without...
