do your research on this model
I bought this model not knowing that it couldn't be used on the 4G network with ATT, as it is only a 3G model.If I had done some more research I would have known that the model I needed was the C6906 for the 4G LTE. I was shocked that so high priced of phone wouldn't offer 4g to begin with, and I have to deduct a star on that alone. I have to say though that the phone is a lot better in responsiveness to my old LG Optimus G Pro, and I am really in love with it overall, except for the lack of 4G. :(I really love the size of the phone, and I also love the fact that I am not accidentally opening apps and the home screen every time I pick it up or put into my pocket.... the Optimus G Pro was absolutely a nightmare when it came to this and I got tired of it.I highly recommend this phone to anyone who does a lot of social networking and picture taking ,as there are plenty of apps for that already installed on the phone. The pictures that you can take with this phone are gorgeous, and I think any enthusiast would be pleased to have it.The only knock I have with the phone is that the battery life could be a lot better in my opinion, which might boil down to a software issue that perhaps Sony can fix in the future.If you look at the reviews and benchmarks on this phone concerning battery life, you will see that it has a higher battery life than most all other phones in talk time, but falls way short in web browsing and watching videos, and I can see that for myself using it to verify it.I hope that for those looking to enjoy 4G on this phone with the TMobile and ATT network will not make the same mistake I made in getting the C6902 model ,and find this review helpful

Exactly what I wanted.
I had this phone for a month now through StraightTalk's bring your own phone plan. Everything works amazing and I have no problems with it. No 4G but that does not bother me because the 3G works amazing and only paying $45 a month for unlimited everything with a phone like this, why should I be picky about a little bit faster speed. Phone is great, if youre on the fence about buying this, BUY IT! its worth it!Pros:-Works with Straight Talk Bring Your Own Phone $45 Unlimited Everything Plan. And works like a charm with fast speed!-Water proof (and beer proof too =D)-Amazing Camera-Good speaker-Use my PS3 controller with it-Use the PSP Emulator on HD graphics setting with no lag. Amazing for a phone!-Screen looks crystal clear (sometimes I watch Hulu and Netflix and the phone instead of my TV)-Feels like a premium phone and not something with plastic built-Xperia Rom is an amazing home screen.Cons:-No 4G (but not that big of a deal)-When I first put my 64GB Micro SD card in, it deleted everything without promting me to format. I had to get all my music back.-Sometimes my widgets stop working. Have to reboot the phone. Only happens about once every one to two weeks-Compare to the Galaxy S3 the sound quality for music output is ehhhh. (but still not bad)

An excellent small form factor Android device
An excellent small form factor Android device. This devices size brings back a day where all cell phones were similar in size and it wasn't about screen size (back then) it was about what was inside.This device is packed w/ todays mid to high end specs, that said, the screen resolution is not quite on par with today's specs.This is a rare device/company that brings Android 4.4.4 quickly to their devices. Within the first week of ownership, the device morphed from Android 4.4.2 to 4.4.4. We own several "high end" Android devices (HTC M8, LG G3 etc) and not one has 4.4.4 yet.Overall, this device is compact durable and comfortable to hold. It does however need some kind of re-work on all the "doors" which acess things such as the usb port. This is defiantly something I can see breaking, rather easily.This is well made, I would recommend this to any user looking for a change back to a decent sized device.

wonderful phone but must find another company
I had the same problem like " T Ekici" who commented b4. When the phone's screen freeze and turned black, i called Amazon customer service. Bc i really like Sony Z1 so I had a new phone just One day after USPS came and pick up my dead phone. After i used new phone about 35 days, it was happended again. This time, Amazon customer service told me :" the quickest way to have this issue resolved is to contact the manufacturer directly for troubleshooting....." so i must called Sony ( Thank you for all Amazon customer service help me that night, you are so nice with me also my English is so bad .... much better than Sony customer sv a lot ....I cant return to Sony bc it was over 30 days. Now im just waiting from Sony after i sent my phone last 2 days ago by Fex ex.

A Mind blowing phone by Sony !
A real Flagship.Design : I loved metal and premium heavy feel along with classy galss on both the sides.Performance is amazing, and it's blazing fast! Throw any game or Office productive apps on it , can handle easily. Same goes for multitasking too! 2 GB of RAM along with blazing fast quad core proves it.Battery life is simply amazing, really it's amazing. Try Stamina mode and you will never want to switch your phone! I am in complete love just for this reason. Even after playing intensive games in subway, emails, facebook, clicking pics, etc. it gives me around 1.5 days! well on most cases gives me 2 days!Camera is simply a winner here, be ready to blow of your mind each time you click a pic!I highly recommend this phone to any unhappy SAMSUNG/ LG/ APPLE users. Best phone I ever had. Love it, Thanks to SONY and Amazon.

Good phone, glad I made the switch.
just got this phone yesterday & so far, so good. only 2 issues. it doesn't have voice text options, hope i can find a download to fix that, & the covers over the ports feel really flimsy like they are going to come off at any moment. we'll see how well they hold up. everything else is really good so far. made the right decision switching to Sony.

Bueno en general, CUIDADO CON LA IMPERMEABILIDAD
Escribo opinion sobre este terminal, porque tengo uno aunque no lo he adquirido en Amazon. Tambien porque me gusta leer opiniones de otros usuarios que me parecen muy útiles, ya que son experiencias de primera mano y sinceras.PROS: Diseño limpio, tamaño grande pero sin exagerar, resistencia al polvo y el agua, pantalla con excelente resolucion, potente, Actualmente tiene una relacion Calidad-Precio de lo mejorcito debido a la bajada de precios y no desmerece en absoluto comparado con Z1 y Z2.CONTRAS:- La estanqueidad depende demasiado del estado de las tapas de las conexiones, si se deteriora alguna por abrir y cerrar a diario (algo que pasa sin duda en menos de un año ) el movil deja de ser 100% impermeable. Pero por experiencia propia les diré que el conjunto de tapas se pueden comprar tanto juntas como de una en una y en varios colores, (yo las he encontrado). y no son muy económicas pero vale la pena por la funcion que cumplen.- Dificultad a la hora de sustituir la bateria, ya que la tapa trasera está montada con un adhesivo especial y se compromete la estanqueidad despues de cambiarla, si bien es un problema solo a largo plazo.- He leido en alguna opinion "La pantalla se ralla con facilidad", pero he podido comprobar personalmente que el Xperia Z lleva dos protectores de pantalla de fabrica, uno a cada lado del movil, y, si, se ralla con relativa facilidad dependiendo del uso y la proteccion que cada uno le dé al movil, pero hay que tener en cuenta que un protector nunca resiste tanto como una pantalla o un cristal.UN DETALLE IMPORTANTE: El protector de fabrica delantero es el portador del LOGO SONY, (en el Z1 y Z2 no estoy seguro),asi que si se extrae, tambien desaparece dicho logo, Asi que: UN CONSEJO: si no quieren que se ralle, compren cuanto antes un protector extra para la pantalla y problema solucionado con un par de euros- A La pantalla en mi opinion le falta algo de brillo, viveza y contraste de colores comparado con moviles como un Note 2, S4 o S5, Pero es una opinion personal y no es un detalle muy importante.EN RESUMEN, Al precio que lo podemos encontrar actualmente, es una compra excelente y ademas elegante y atractivo, dejando de lado posibles defectos que todos los moviles tienen porque al fin y al cabo son maquinas.Personalmente creo que hay costumbrismo de marcas y el gusto es personal, (yo soy mas de Samsung) pero este modelo y otros de Sony, sobrepasan en calidad y prestaciones a muchos de "la manzanita" y no hay que desembolsar tanto.
