New phone time. What do you think?

I've just recently gotten a Sony Xperia Z - it's such a well rounded phone IMHO, works perfectly, everything is just how you want it, just like the Samsung there's crap to remove which is one reason I still quite like HTC.

But for me - a phone that's dustproof and waterproof to IP57 is a no brainer, it's stupidly well built, most solid "smartphone" I've ever had, software is great whilst having a 1920x1080 screen which when Apple are harping on about 1146x640 is quite funny.

I remember thinking that my HTC One X was the perfect phone, which to be fair, it's DAMNED good, but the Xperia Z is awesome. It's the first phone of it's generation, so it's out before the S4 and the HTC One, I think they'll be having ~1.7GHz snapdragons wheras the Z is "only" a 1.5GHz. But I can't fault it thus far!

Think I'll be getting an Xperia Z next, Need a sturdy phone being a Decorator who is ham-fisted with technology! Got a Blackberry Torch at the moment that knackered and rubbish, though its still going after 2 years of abuse off me so I'll give it some dues. Gonna have to reluctantly convert to full touchscreen though
