Sick deal. Same here, sometimes one handed is the way to go.
And I have a Tablet Z atm not a Z1 ;)
Gonna complete the Xperia family soon enough.. Then Kaz Hirai will call me up personally to have lunch and I'll suggest new business ventures. He'll hire me of course and you'll see me on stage at E3 with Yu Suzuki.

I still remember the days you used to hate Sony, I wonder what black mail and brainwashing changed that... :rotflmao:

Cool, I actually remember reading The Umbrella Conspiracy and Caliban Cove when I was a kid. Shocked me because there were so many curse words, oh my!
But yeah, didn't realize so many were written.

Were they any good? I passed on them first time around and always regretted it.

Couldn't really say right now. I know they kept me entertained as a kid, but that was yeeeeaaaaaars ago. I'd hate to say they were awesome (which I thought at the time) and then they turn out to be donkey poo from an adult perspective...

I'm not really expecting much, this is based on the Resident Evil storyline after all.

If the rest of the Z line is anything to go by, I'd be excited.

I've flirted with the idea of getting a Z then Z1, but I've been put off by the size of big phones, so the Compact's 4.3 inch screen is perfect for me.

Jake Adelstein's second book after the excellent Tokyo Vice. I've been waiting to read this since finishing his first book in 2010. How naive I was to think his next book would be a year or so away. April can't come soon enough!

@Crimson Ryan How are you liking the Z1 Compact? Looking to get rid of my iPhone 5S, but heard because of the waterproofing the Z1 compacts speaker isn't that good. Also any other disadvantages?

Haven't heard any negatives about that from reviews. From my own experience, the speakers are loud and clear.

It's one of the best phones Sony have made so far. Perfect for one-handed use and doesn't fill your pockets. Don't think of it as a miniature Z1 because there's no drop in terms of specs. It's a Z1 in a smaller, compact package.

I've never owned an iPhone but I've used an iPad for the past two years and I'm already a bigger fan of Android than iOS.

Being a part of the Z flagship line it'll also be upgraded to KitKat. Also heavily integrated with Sony's ecosystem including PlayStation and Video Unlimited.

I got mine for £449 with a SmartWatch 2, but prices have already dropped under the RRP.

Magnetic charge cable for my phone. Apparently this cable is bundled in with the official dock, so all you're paying for is a piece of plastic.

Been meaning to get this on bluray. Oooohhh, how the memories come flooding back every time I hear that music and see the opening gang fight. Or any part of the movie, for that matter. A true classic.

Also got a new drinking glass. Self-indulgent color.
