Tcool, 11 Mar 2014What is data cap? Never heard before. What I know is I am subscribing to 4G prepaid unlimit... moreSee, you don't even know data cap that's why you will never understand us. I already explained it. Data cap or "fair usage policy" is putting a limit on supposedly "unlimited" LTE crap they are advertising in order to reduce the overall traffic on their network. So you have a contract of "unlimited" internet for 1 month, but within that 1 month, you can only use LTE upto 3GB of download/upload data. After that, you will be reduced to 2G, which is 1990's internet. Loading google homepage takes forever with 2G.

You are taking care of device and it still cracks by itself. I am not ruining Sony, I just want them to read this complaints and fix it on Z2. If it is indeed fixed in Z2, then I will buy Z3 or Z4. I won't risk my money yet so I will let you Sony Xperia Z2 buyers to test it first. Get back to me after a year of using Z2 and I hope that you have no problems with it. I won't use a cracked phone even if it still works.

        Two non-government organizations from America and China are proclaiming a boycott of Apple devices. The reason is, again, labor issues within its manufacturing partners. The China Labor Watch and Green America claim that workers in an unnamed facility that makes predominantly Apple products are being exposed to toxic chemicals that cause illnesses.
        Allegedly, it would cost the company less than a dollar per device to switch to a different process that won't be dangerous to workers' lives.

          AnonD-159403, 11 Mar 2014To all SAMSUNG users : Do you really understand the meaning of build quality? I must say SA... moreVictor01 that is your opinion and you are quite entitled to it. However, my opinion is different. I have an S4 and I can confidently say it is the best phone I have ever had. I cannot say it is better than all the rest because I have not owned all the rest but I make a point of changing my phone every 12 months and every time I change I endeavour to go for a brand I have not tried before. This year though, unless HTC comes with finger print and water proof, I will be sticking with Samsung.
          What I am saying is that IMHO Samsung deserves to be where they are in the marketplace.
          As I said...everyone is entitled to their own opinion :-)

                An energy save mode if the battery reserve drops to 10%, continued 4G, water resistant, support for up to 128GB of SD card, but standard HD screen; standard RAM, standard 32-bit processor, Samsung standard Poly Carb case; but still no good retina scan authentication and not even FM radio back! Sorry, there is not enough here to make me want to rush out and recommit to a new phone contract.

                              The Z9 has managed to fit a 5000mAh battery inside it.
                              Changhong Z9 should outlast any other smartphone in existence. At the same time, it reportedly has a thickness of just 9 millimeters, which is impressive considering what's tucked behind its back plate.
                              The rest of its hardware specs aren't that bad either. The Z9 comes with a 5.5-inch, 720p display, a quad-core MediaTek SoC running at 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM, 8MP main camera, and Android 4.2 out of the box.

                                To all SAMSUNG users :

                                Do you really understand the meaning of build quality? I must say SAMSUNG cheats openly to everyone in any device. Look at the build quality at S5 again its cheap plastic and now they will quote a price of may be 45k-50k INR. I was a SAMSUNG user earlier but shifted my gears to SONY bcoz of its build quality. SONY deserves to be best. And SAMSUNG has no better design so it copies SONY for ex: the smart watch concept and many other things as well. Guys its better if you take a wise decision by going to SONY or HTC etc. People only buy SAMSUNG coz of its brand name and waste money. Look at S4, it was a real time headache and now S5.

                                  What I know is I am subscribing to 4G prepaid unlimited internet for three months and renew it afterwards. When I am within the city proper, my LTE mobile WiFi always receive 4G signal. When moving to the provinces it goes from 4G to 3G from time to time, but never to 2G. That is why I enjoy internet radio and TV without interruptions.

                                    As I searched , cracks on the screen are result of the shatterproof layer on Z1.So the front glass just gets cracked , not broken when it drops.So it was a good thing but now because of people complaints , they removed it in Z2 .

                                        Your phones should not be so slim so as to last longer when playing, and should carry three or four micro-ships to avoid packing more than one phone on the pocket. you are creating thinner phones but at the same time they are growing larger and not fitting on the hands or pockects. Stop following Apple and satisfy the client with a multyfnctional and useful phone for the daily life. One thing is to build phones with less specs or more specs available on the earth accordind to one´s money, and the other thing is to create a simple and cheaper phone with a great camera or a complex, larger and expensive phone with a poor 2 megapixel camera, for exemple. it makes the client confusing because he wants to buy a great phone but they are all confusing. the problem is not the money. You are competing with Apple and we are suffering. If you dont agree,at least try to build phones accord to the professions: for engeneers, for nurses, for phisicians, for athlets, for swimmers for divers, for pilots,etc. Please, do us a favor.
