Yeah, it's got issues.

I wish there were a Nexus version of it, for a reasonable price. Maybe that would take care of some of the issues that have been reported, many that don't seem to have solutions yet. I would hope that they have a G3 MkII in the wings that would take care of the bugs, the screen, etc. I've always been impressed with Sony's small radios and gadgets. I spent a bundle on a Clie' PEG-TH55 years ago. It was an amazing gizmo. Until I dropped it and broke the screen. It was never quite the same after the repair (they left out a part and at least 1 screw...) :-/ I've not actually seen one of their phones in the wild, here. Maybe the Nexus 6 is the one to get. We'll see. Supposedly it'll be out before the end of the year. Thanks. Cheers, Scott.

And that is working at being really good with their products and not losing too much sleep over not being the obvious success Samsung is. Asus trail-blazed innovate Android tablet configurations, particularly the detachable keyboard dock that a lot of others are also doing with Windows 8. Sony have put effort into stylish hardware and a coherent platform integration in a rather less overt way than Samsung. Wade. Just Add Story http://justaddstory.wordpress.com/

Post #395,238 by Another Scott 10/3/14 8:22:14 AM Reply	Heh. Yup. L (Android 5) apparently will support 64-bitness. Presumably 64-bit phones to take advantage of it are coming soon. Unless one really must get a phone in the next month or so, it makes sense to wait to see what hardware is coming. I expect lots of people who have bought phones in the last 6 months to have buyers' remorse pretty soon... Cheers, Scott. ("It's better - it's 32 more!!11")
