[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
How to justify it ? they don't see any profit in it (yet).

How to justify Airtel choosing to expand in Africa instead of improving things in India. Same answer.

There is no concept of unbundling in India. Where the state builds the infrastructure and then allows companies to use it. Which encourages companies to start up and offer more competitive rates. You want to be an ISP in India ? then roll out your own infrastructure. Not many can afford to do this and if they do they want solid guarantees from the govt that they will have a good return.

40-50 Mbs only with fibre. ADSL2+ isn't reliable, most get away with g.dmt which tops out at 3Mbs but is reliable and can withstand interfernce better than higher speeds.

Indian telcos have an interest to inflate figures. There is no obligation on their part to reveal actual numbers. 73 crores is fake data. When i spoke to a mid level exec at a telecom company he said the figures were 20% lower. So what is the real number 60 crores, heh nah i don't buy it.

Those guys sitting in London with ac's as you put it monitor gsm rollouts around the world. What interest would they have to downplay gsm numbers ? are they trying to say something here. That it should be a lot higher than what they found. Does make me doubt things.

Yes and where are the wired ones, you know that actually will provide much more data at an affordable price ? no where. Why beause policy does not encourage it. Just look at what happened to Vodafone, amend tax regualtions going back 60 years so as to catch them in some retroactive tax trap. Great message to send to foreign telcos.

As long as it takes for processors to actually be able to power QHD to similar performance as 720p. I don't even need 1080p but my options are limited here, z1compact or g.flex. One is too small and the other is too big.

There are no guarantees about this yet. Only positive noises. Spectrum has been bought at princely sums, why ? they must be expecting to profit from it. Therefore a rollout cannot be that far off. You can see it happening slowly already. Calcutta just got 4g for mobile. it used to be limited to dongles.

They told me this last year and i'm glad i waited. See its not about never finding the perfect phone, you look for things that you like and avoid what you don't like. This year is much more attractive. Mainly because things are slowing down. CPUS used to be 200, 400, 600, now its 800, 801, 805, 810. andorid was 2,3,4 then 4.1-4.4, what is it now, 4.4.2 yeah, maybe 5.0 in Oct this year.

I know i'll be good for a few more years than say two years back.

You will just resell and buy again. No problems, i don't want to go through that headache. You have to sell within 6 months because people expect a warranty, No warranty then it isn't even worth 50% what you paid.

The two things that bug me with the xperia line, non-replaceable battery and waterproof. Replace battery is one thing, ensure its water tight is another. I don't see any problems with this after looking at service manuals. But do they even replace batteries for xperia in India yet or does it need to be sent to Sweden. Nobody knows because no one holds onto a device long enough to find out. When i spoke to a sony service centre that's what they told me, they can fix any other line but they're not authorised to fix the Z line. Ridiculous.

Then there is the 20k premium in case you break the screen. the ADP plan is a gimmick. what happens after 6 months are over. Price to fix other models is much less. These are the things one needs to be aware of when going with a Z..
