[Xperia Z General] lokenok:
but the latest release in Hong Kong would be November as confirmed by Sony Mobile HK , The Ion was released in May in Hong Kong so the V is November.

Love how HK gets quicker releases! NExt Week Xperia TX comming to Hong Kong.
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
which version? LTxx?
[Xperia Z General] batman_112:
LT30p
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
theres a store here in Canada Vancouver (where i bought all my phones), they claim that Xperia V, Xperia TX, and Xperia J will be in stock by the end of this month or early of next month.

Price hasnt gone up yet. Their main supplier is from HK, second from France (I believe).
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
for some reason, a lot of people think LT30p is XV. can you double check if they were talking about the right one?
[Xperia Z General] tel033:
Can someone please explain me which markets are getting T and which TX? Is more like S and Ion right?
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
originally, TX was meant for Asia and T for everyone else, but Asia is getting everything now.

the major difference between TX and T would be LTE, appearance and replaceable battery. anyone feel free to chime in too.
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
LT30 is xperia T

LT29 is xperia TX

LT25 is xperia V

how can people get this wrong? O.O
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
some web site says LT30p = XV and LT30i = XT

not sure if those were mistake from the same source or for some other reasons

maybe a reduction in number (from XS) is a nono to them?
[Xperia Z General] borgsta:
No one mentioned it having to be a phone

Which device was 32GB? Oh the one that was never released, cool.
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
we are talking about phones and you throw a tablet into the discussion :confused:

I thought Verizon Galaxy Nexus has 32GB internal storage. you are basically saying that google forces user onto cloud storage by increasing internal storage of Nexus phones. I don't understand your point/logic :confused:
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
This is because 16 or even 8GB are enough for most of people. They just don't care and buy whichever is cheaper.

So, most of the volume is generated with the devices while the more expensive "hi-end" ones are just a small percentage.

Which means, that given low volumes it simply does not make any commercial sense to keep and pay for yet another model for which only 10000 units are sold.

Caught something interesting on NeoGAF from the user zomgbbqftw who seems to have some good insights into Sonys business:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=42631796&postcount=900

If true, then I'm sure there'll be a lot of happy Sony phone and tablet owners out there come November. I'm still waiting for the new update that just came out for the original Tablet S to come to Canada and this news about a Jellybean update makes me all giddy inside :)
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
that sounds like a confirmation of XV release in November, but who gets it? iPhone 5 is already out. what's Sony waiting for? shortage of screen from JDI because iPhone is taking all the screen?
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Waiting !!! This word is only meant for Sony's Dictionary :P

This thread created in May and its already Oct (5 months) n still...........
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
your original wish phones are already out. you just need to go over that shop and buy it ;)
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
:)

No man, nothing in Singapore...

Anyways wats this, any user finds design Not good !!!

THE SONY XPERIA T doesn't look all that special, but in fact it is the official phone of this year's James Bond movie. With such a big title come big expectations, and it certainly manages to impress on paper, featuring a large HD screen, a 13MP camera and a dual-core Snapdragon processor. However, with its boring design and awkward angles, we're not sure Mr Bond is going to be all that impressed.

I ordered mine 2 days ago also, does your tracking still show it being departed from Mid Eastlands?. I hope it arrives on monday.

On the side does anyone know any online store where i can get the tx ship to U.S?
[Xperia Z General] waynekirby:
Arriving Tuesday 8am-6pm UK on 3

Cannot wait whatsoever, waited over a year for a new phone... Xperia T for me! :D
[Xperia Z General] jayman1986:
How did you get for 360? Website says 408 inc VAT.
[Xperia Z General] batman_112:
I do not have to pay VAT because I live in the USA and had it shipped there.
[Xperia Z General] mrsatan:
Nice you will have to post a hands on.
[Xperia Z General] lokenok:
Ahh , Lucky Xperia TX and J is going to launch next week in Hong Kong... V? Maybe November.

[Xperia Z General] borgsta:
We were talking about nexus not just phone.

I was saying and quite clearly that Google have decreased internal storage and removed SD card in their last 3 devices. A Verizon exclusive being the exception should not confuse you.
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
show me how google decrease internal storage with the latest 3 nexus devices. google weren't the only one removing SD cards. bunch of phone were without SD card.

you said 32GB version never came out as quoted in the reply. your arguments are weak and inaccurate. I don't see how you can continue to argue like this.
[Xperia Z General] darth5zaft:
Bunch of phone has discard sdcard, but the gnex is the only one with 16gig, other high end phone comes with 32gig or more with 16gig is only reserved for the cheapest iphone.

Now the nexus7 has only 8gig for the basic models.

Google is afterall a net based company. And it's only natural for the to push u to be dependent of the cloud and spend as much time on the net as possible. Afterall that is where they made their money.
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
Because GalaxyNexus is just a developers phone. Due to low production counts you can't offer many different models, it would be just too expensive. So you need to settle for one. And 16GB for global edition seems to be a very reasonable amount, since people pay the whole price outright.

It also does not have rear facing camera. You must sacrifice something to meet that $200 goal.

As to the SD card, it comes with problems attached, starting with patents. As soon as you include SD card support you also include FAT32 support which is patented by Microsoft.
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
again, there is 32GB Verizon GN. why are you guys intentionally ignoring Americans just to make your argument? don't forget google is an American company

we can put Nexus 7 in the list if you can make a LTE/3G phone call with it, not to mention Nexus 7 also has 16GB version. it's a budgeted device. how can you compare Nexus 7 to phone?

I did your homework for you. I can see internal storage is increasing. don't make me laugh with your nonsense argument

Nexus One 512MB

Galaxy S 16GB

Galaxy Nexus 32GB
[Xperia Z General] darth5zaft:
And u are ignoring the international market to justify yours. Do renember the nexus one has a sdcard.(again purposely ignoring the fact here) And gnex u quote are only available on one carrier on the whole wide world. The majority of gnex are only available with 16gig non expandable and does not support USB2GO natively.

If u haven't realised we are talking about nexus devices here. They run the same os and apps. Of course by including the nexus7, your argument will been weakened.

See here

1)nexus one.512mb + sdcard (almost unlimited storage, by swapping sdcard)

2)nexus s 16gig

3)gnex 16gig, with a US varient of 32gig

4)nexus7 8/16 gig

---------- Post added at 01:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 AM ----------

Well, they can actually sell one models with 32gig, sony,nokia, htc are doing it, afterall bumping up the storage just cost a few dollars but it does make the device more desirable.

If i not mistaken, Sony use FAT32 because they say NTFS is owned by microsoft.
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
You can't really swap the sdcard since here live app2sd apps. Without the app2sd you are practically hosed, as the N1 had such a microscopic flash. And the card itself is hidden behind battery, so it is not really an option.

Because all of them are selling much more devices than google even planed to. So they are in the position to offer many different configurations while google is forced to limit itself to the bare minimum.

Both of them are owned by microsoft and require patent licenses. Sony has the licenses, google doesn't and would need to pay separately for each device.
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
you need to compare apple to apple, not apple to strawberry. most of the android phones/tablets run the same OS, apps plus additional apps, so your argument doesn't stand for Nexus 7 to be included in Nexus phones. Nexus 7 doesn't support cell phone network, so I dont' see how it fits into the argument.

if we look at the smallest capacity of each Nexus. Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus both has 16GB. I think these are the same number, not reduced. your argument is completely nonsense.

if you didn't read clearly. the argument you are supporting is "google has been reducing internal storage of Nexus to push people onto cloud storage". therefore, putting sd card out of the equation.
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Finally I re-contracted my line and got iFail 5 !!!

Enough of wait for Xperia T/TX/V......bye Sony for this year, I hope you understand your FANs better next year !!!

Note: I am still using Galaxy S3 as primary device and iFail 5 is my secondary device :P
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
thought i5 is using screen contributed by Sony JDI. you are still part of sony :silly:

[Xperia Z General] borgsta:
Lol so whilst data has increased during the last 3 years Google staying the same is a sign of them doing what exactly? Releasing a media tablet with 16GB maximum is doing what exactly? When the nexus s had no sd card Google used an excuse about battery for the gnex it was a different excuse. Lots of excuses, 1 logical reason.
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
Yes - the mighty Bill Of Materials.

By the way, 32GB Nexus 7 tablet, Galaxy Nexus II hinted at in leaked image

According to your theory it shouldn't ever happen, no? :)

Google's Nexus concept overhaul due in November: lead phones with stock Android, manufacturer UI on the side

Sony might be one of the partners.

[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
I'm talking about real numbers, you are just playing guessing game :confused:
[Xperia Z General] mrsatan:
Let's hope that's true
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
that means V and AT&T TL will have to compete with NEXUS...
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
Nexus as such is not a big deal given the 98% of the population has no idea what it is good for.

More significant is the "other" competition like Moto Razr HD and Maxx HD.

For example, I was determined to buy XperiaT as soon as it is available, but now the RazrHD got me seriously thinking. It has just one disadvantage - that dreadful amoled display. Otherwise it beats hands down the Xperia, if only because of battery. Finally the phone where I don't need to constrain myself to "don't do this, don't do that or the phone will be dead before you get home at the evening".
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
what I meant was that devices from the same manufacture - Sony having similar spec are going to compete with each other.

T and TX

V and TL

NEXUS and ?
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
V and TL are unlikely to ever meet themselves in the same market. TL is strictly US and nobody knows if V is ever going to be sold in US. Plus one is 4.6" and another is 4.3" - different market segments. The same goes for T and TX, they are unlikely to be officially sold in the same market.

So there is no competition as far as Sony is concerned.

It is also not clear, exactly when Sony is going to release their Nexus. Could be the summer of 2013, who knows?

It also could turn out as just a software update to the same XperiaT/TL/TX/V. Any phone could be Nexus as long as it carries vanilla android.
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
as far as I know T and TX are both officially sold in the same Asian countries. people who don't like locked/branded will go for alternative, but the only LTE phone not from carrier is V. most of the XPERIA are not sold by US carrier, so people buying them will most likely pay for the regular price. you never know if TL is strictly US. ION is an example. sony also said that they are going to reduce time it takes for phone to be on shelves, so summer 2013 is probably not the right time.
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
As far as I understood, this means only reducing time between product announcement and actual availability. This does not necessary mean, they will announce new products more often.

And if they actually do announce and release their products more frequently, then there is no other possibility as many devices competing with each other. Be it nexus or not.
[Xperia Z General] borgsta:
It's not a guess that data has increased, that is just a fact. If you really want i can dig up proof for you. LG Nexus will be 16GB max with no SD card.
[Xperia Z General] dachao:
Leaks Suggest "PlayStation Nexus" Phone is on Its Way
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
Yes, it is a fact, that google does not include a huge storage. But the reason of this is your interpretation :)

There is a bunch of other facts which do not support this "conspiracy theory".

If you are really determined to push cloud services, you should at least make them available out of the box. Otherwise it is kind of pointless. So, that icon should the Nexus owner press after it goes out of storage space?

For example, where is a google drive preinstalled on nexus? Somehow I can't find it. Music/Video (main and only eaters of device storage) is also mostly still unavailable except US and several other countries where it appeared only recently. Years after the nexus devices were available on the market.

And first of all: 1-2% of market share is an exceptionally poor vehicle to push anything. If google would really want to push their cloud services, it would preinstall them on every android device which comprehend the rest 98% of the market.
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
he probably doesn't work in a company making products running Android, so he wouldn't know how much trouble SD card brings for engineers to overcome performance and support issues. as many people pointed out, 8GB+ is more than enough for most people. not sure why he's so stubborn on including extra storage to increase the price when many people don't use that extra storage.
[Xperia Z General] borgsta:
yes the extra $15 is a huge increase. Why am I "stubborn"? Well because I can't use anything under 32GB at a minimum and with data continuing to increase that will most likely be obsolete soon. Essentially I'm running out of options for Android phones unfortunately.

As for SD cards being troublesome for engineers there is a simple solution that Google can implement - remove the option to install apps on the SD cards.....
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
Is your usage for phone or something else? what do you put in your phone to consume over 32GB? if 32GB on Android can't satisfy you, your only option is 64GB iPhone or wait and see if any manufacture will ever offer phone with 128GB internal storage?
[Xperia Z General] basrawi:
Omg I wish they stop printing carrier logos on phones . It's not like you'll forget who will suck your blood for the next two years.
[Xperia Z General] lokenok:
^ logo looks ugly
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
There is a huge difference between "they don't make a proper phone for me" and "google has an agenda to force something upon the ecosystem".

And for storage junkies like you there are plenty of phones with SD slots and even phones with 64GB of flash such as SGS3 or HTC One X+.

This is not a solution, because installing on SD card is not a problem. Once can even choose to allow or deny it for own applications.

The problem are files on the SD card which can disappear at any time (for example the user just plugged USB cable). And the can of worms of additional complexity and bugs having to deal with this mess.

Xperia TX released in Hong Kong

http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/10/08/xperia-tx-now-out-in-hong-kong/

if your still reading/following this i bet you saw that already, though i can't wait for reviews from our over seas friends :)
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
there are already quite a few TX reviews if you google
[Xperia Z General] kaleys:
surprisingly never worked for me

and by review i mean a complete review, not a hands on from IFA or a rushed un-boxing

good old fashioned thorough run down of everything the phone has to offer from the minuscule details to the broad picture of the phone's intention

but if you did happen to see any complete reviews, and wouldn't mind sharing a link, it'd be appreciated :)
[Xperia Z General] borgsta:
I give up. If you can't see Google's direction (not agenda I've never said it's an agenda - i understand why they do it) there is no point discussing it.

If you can't put the program on the SD card developers no longer get complaints from end users. Why would a user complain about missing files to developers?
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
here is a few. you'll need google translate. pictures won't show up unless you click on the link with a green square icon. some of the reviews are only available on bbs

http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=569&t=2977824&last=38959425

http://keyfans.net/archives/515
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
We just see not the same direction.

Because the application crashes, since some files located on the SD card (NOT the application itself) suddenly are gone or became corrupted?

Due to the SD card "volatility" you never know when it is gone and never know if someone inserts different card with maybe a year old versions of the files. All of this is of course solveable, but incredibly difficult to get it right and bug free. The time developers are spending for such housekeeping crap instead of developing something really meaningful.
[Xperia Z General] ngoralph:

[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
every 1 or 2 quarter. just buy it when you need it. you don't have to wait
[Xperia Z General] unknown13x:
If I'm not mistaken, Odin is Galaxy Note's competitor. Sony's first 5 inch device.

Yuga is first half's flag ship for mobile division, but it's more slapping the V into a bigger body, and upgrading the CPU/Camera. You wouldn't be missing out much really :\

There will also be another 10 inch tablet coming. The difference with the Xperia Tablet is it's including mobile phone technologies into it (Exmor, Bravia).
