sorry but sony's year is here bro......i think samsung is the one that needs to watch out because soon it will be "out with the fakers" and "in with the originators" ............

much love to the android community and true innovators

Yes, rectangles and glass back covers are very original.

Yeah, in Japan, and usually exclusive/underpowered/feature phones Even LG is using glass backs (I prefer Kevlar myself :D ) Premium feel is difficult to accomplish with plastic

original it is!

does it get more "original" than a common shape?

innovative? no lol but the innovation will be in other areas, i believe.....like the lighting strip on the xperia s or the water and dust proof xperia Z :)

The man likes Sony, considering how sexy their hardware is, who can blame him? Me? I'm a Moto fan, I like sexy hardware, and Sony makes some pretty sexy hardware, He is not blind, if Sony made the Z out of plastic and it felt like a Sammy (not that that's a bad thing, it's just not a Sony thing) you'd DAMN well be hearing it from the Sony fans, some people like a premium experience. to each their own

there's nothing you can say about the xperia z that is original or innovative. you're all just masturbating about the xperia z because it looks like nice, though that is something most of us can agree to t

I said it and I say it again: Both HTC and SS's successes came after making Nexus phones.

So now it is LG's turn

I thought HTC had success from making the desire and Samsung from the gs2

22. mick25 (banned) posted on 23 Jan 2013, 08:08 0 1

Sgs1 was a success and was released before nexus s
Htc has been in a slump for a while and thats after n1 was released

I never thought that I'll be ever using android, but bought A110 last month and guess what, a Nokia fanboy had a change of heart! This is awesome phone. Definitely putting my pre order for A116 (passing canvas 2 to my sis).

MMX is on the rise!

Hallelujah!
You've been enlightened..now spread some of that to other Nokia fanboys, haha

You were lucky to get A110 canvas2. It's always in short supply like Nexus 4 :)

Yes MMX is on the rise and with A116 bye bye Samsung Grand ... they will have tough time convincing buyers to pay 6K more for similar phone specs and im sure the real price will be lower than what is the Max Retail Price because anything above 13k in India and buyers start looking elsewhere so 12-13k is the sweet spot ... i think this phone will also be in short supply.

Get me one! :)

To pay $20 more for the far superior nexus 4...... That's what

20. jcpwn2004 posted on 23 Jan 2013, 05:12 0 0

will this be for sale in the US? I'm really curious, looking to upgrade phones soon and have been deciding between the nexus 4 16gb for 350$ or a galaxy s3 for about 450$ on ebay.
