Actually I do want the Z3 Compact. :)

Seeing as the device is water and dust proof I would presume it to be quite rigid. The Sony promotion material talk about some skeleton frame structure in aircraft grade plastic... so it sounds sturdy. I haven't actually held it myself, so I'm just guessing of course.

I've had plenty of them. But then again, I live in Northern Europe. :)

+1 :)

Actually the swipe to unlock was on NeoNode way back... They patented it 3 years before Apple did.

SonyEricsson W880i, it was f-ing fantastic and absolutely gorgeous. :)

GPS guided rounds are wicked cool. Bofors makes a 155mm round, Excalibur. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/m982-155.htm

It's obviously annoying to have to wait for updates, but there doesn't seem to be any super easy solution to it. Once the manufacturers get access to the code, they then have some work to do with adaptation. Contrary to popular belief, it's not that work that takes particularly long time. The problem is with the…

The default alarm/timer app on Xperia phones is very similar, but a darker theme which I personally find nicer. But the Sony one doesn't have the feature to drag the time with your finger, which sounds quite nice...

No doubt the MBA is a very nice machine, but I'm curious if you included the ASUS UX31A in your analysis? A friend of mine just got one and I have to say that with a higher resolution 1080p screen, it looks even nicer than the MBA and slightly cheaper.

Perhaps I misunderstand your post.

Ah, you are absolutely correct. It's 1776 feet = ca. 541 meters. Shame on me for writing numbers instead of copying them. ;)

For all other international readers:

It would be easy to dismiss your comment with a "you probably haven't tried any Android phones from 2011 and forward", but I'll try and be a bit more detailed.

I was thinking exactly the same.... What has "the Dutch" got to do with Lego?

Isn't this exactly the same as the VScreens app that Sony Ericsson released last year?

This is a very interesting attack, but it can't break the protection my bank (SEB in Sweden) have been using for the past few years. I have a physical device which requires a PIN.

I actually don't like those cheaper plastic ones at all. The "dual action" lever is flimsy in my opinion. I would highly recommend this one from Rösle, it's sturdy and the lever is just the right length that it can be used in one motion. The rounded knife also fits snugly around most bottles,

I actually have the previous version of that "watch", the LiveView. It's a very cool idea, but the screen wasn't touch sensitive and the whole look of it was very plastic.

It's good that Sony finally manages to get a decent deal with a US Carrier. Hopefully that'll get more people the ability to try the quite nice Xperia phones (the 2011 range has been very nice... the 2010 range had some problems).
