well, in Europe Sony is all over the place, so blame those US carriers for just selling Galaxshiit and iPhones

This has way more to do with Sony than the carriers

no, it actually has a lot to do with carriers and people in america who just follow the crowd. If you wanted an xperia, you can go on their website right now and buy one full price.

Yes but I wouldn't get full lte on at&t so its of no use to me. If pantec can put a phone on att don't tell me sony couldn't. Its just them being lazy

Wrong. Papss is right. Considering the fact that Sony has yet to make a CMDA smartphone since they split with Ericsson, it has quite a bit to do with them. Verizon & Sprint, the 1st & 3rd largest carriers in the U.S. respectively, couldn't sell not compatible with their networks.

Guess your crying Sony doesn't make windows phones...

That would be nice but unlike yourself I can/do actually buy many phones per year including android.. But yes I prefer WP to the others but what does that have to do with my comments regarding Sony not applying themselves and getting their phones on all carriers? Or are you just a pathetic fandroid that has nothing better to say?

Only in the US u dont see anyone with Sony phones go to Mexico I go every 2 month's over there Sony is huuge. Telcel Mexico gets every single sony phone not like here tht tmobile only gets 1 or 2 sony phones over there telcel gets every single sony phone they have lots to choose from,n over there u see sony commercials on tv about there new phones. I have a Cuzin over there that works in a telcel store in Mexico city and she said many people prefer sony phones over galaxy phones and iphones even tho they cost the same they sell more sony phones she even told me last month that they made it official they will be getting the z2,and yes a premium sony phone costs the same as an iPhone 5s or galaxy 4 over there and people choose the sony phone.

7. mokhtar (Posts: 405; Member since: 06 Jan 2014)

z3 will be a monster .. something you never seen before ;)

8. papss (unregistered)

No one has seen the z2 and we are now talking about the z3?

you should by now have known how sony fan's brain function. They live on assumptions and optimistic expectation. In their book, Sony"s devices are the ultimate smartphones, in every single category they are the best.

True, but it's also true of almost every other OEM fanboys out there. Especially the Nokia ones.

16. ToxiD (Posts: 45; Member since: 27 Feb 2014)

I don't think the Z3 will be a moster. As you can see this year there is not much we haven't seen or innovative in the latest flagships so I doubt there will be something within 6 months.

12. vincelongman (Posts: 5082; Member since: 10 Feb 2013)

Yes, please Sony,
IMO the Z1 C is too small, the Z2 is too big
Sony need a flagship in the meddle

24. Lt.Green (Posts: 397; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)

Agreed, 4.7" screen is just about right (for me at least).

27. vincelongman (Posts: 5082; Member since: 10 Feb 2013)

IMO I like 4.7" as a minimum (preferably ~5"), I wouldn't mind a 5.2+", I just prefer phones being smaller than ~135 x ~70 mm
(perfect IMO would be 125-130 mm tall)
