I have had the ‘Z’ for nealry 3 weeks now.  In some ways its very impressive, in others not so. Its true what they say about the battery longevity - if you want it to last turn off everything that updates (Gmail, Facebook, twitter etc) and turn down the screen brightness or if your taking it to work deffinitely take the charger too!  I am quite impressed with the camera - but WHY does it take so long to launch after you click on the app icon??? Picture quality is very good and even more so in low light situaltions… the exmore really helps and it also sharpens up images same time…

Had the ‘Zed’ almost a month now. We also have a couple of Samsung S3’s in the house and you cant help compare them. I think one of the things one notices about this phone is that its UI is very boring compared to the S3 - and most other Samsungs too - If it wasn’t for the colorful apps you can run of this phone and games too - it would be rather unexciting compared to the brilliant vibrant display of the S3. Things like gmail, text messaging section - no color at all… shame really because the Z has a very nice screen.

Downloaded films do look very good on this phone however, even better when connected to your widescreen (roll on 4G!) The camera is the best bit of this phone with HDR and the Exmor sensor you can can take some very good low light images without flash. This device will also automatically upload any images you take directly to photobucket, Google + ,facebook, instagram and dropbox!  so they will never get lost! 

A case is an absolute must - the Xperia z scratches VERY easily! so be warned, don’t skimp on a case or screen protectors!

What you can do is go to google playstore and download a new UI! Look for ‘Launchers’They are mostly all free, right now my xperia Z looks like a windows 8 phone! Love it more now.

I think its true that the ‘Z’ isnt as good screen-wise as the Samsung super-phones,its still a jolly fine device though. Apart from connecting it to my flatscreen to watch HD films it also works very well as a WiFi hotspot, I often run a laptop and my granddaughters tablet off it no problem, easy to connect too.
