    If you wanted to do that you'd have bought a G3.

    Instead you bought last years tech.

    Not worth the extra money, G2 is better value

    I am really happy with it, it's a bit bigger than the S4 but you get used to that in no time! The battery is great, I got a day and a half out of it and that was with fairly heavy use!
    I definitely recommend it :)

    I'm not sure but I'd imagine there's an app for it anyway if not.

    The noise cancelling headphones work really well too, I've been using them in the gym and can't hear anything!

    Have my Z2 a month now. Absolutely love it. Brilliant battery life, super fast and hasn't failed me once. Very stable phone, no lag or restarts, very smooth. Will definitely be keeping this for a while, does everything I want and more.

    Let us know how it gets on with updates: are they timely or are you left hanging. Sony is pretty bad when it comes to that, tbf, so I'm curious to see if that's improved. Especially when the Z3 rumours have emerged.

    Yes, well, I use TouchPal X as my main keyboard, much easier and faster than the standard one. Has multiple layouts.

    Ah that's good ! I'm ready to take the jump from iPhone as the keyboard is to small for me, that and the fact is the most boring phone I ever used .

    Hold your horses! :)

    Looks like the Z3 isn't too far away. Come to think of it, wasn't there was only 6 months between the Z1 and Z2...

    Can't post the link, but Engadget tweeted an article showing a prototype a short while ago.

    Go for the Z2. It's different to the Samsung's and equally as good as any of them.

    My problem is iv always had the iPhone and its boring the pants off me now at this stage :(

    its just making that jump from phone to phone. but because there are so many phones out there its so hard.

    the z2 for some reason is calling my name and that camera is a deal breaker

    its just a case of what if .:confused:

    Pretty much. I really like the look of the Z2, the specs are great, it's really smooth and you've already mentioned the camera. I was an android user anyway but it was a big decision to move away from Samsung and I certainly don't regret it now.

    It's likely you'll find things you don't like, but overall after a bedding in period I'm sure you'll end up loving both Android and the phone, and to be fair Android on the Z2 is pretty much as good as it gets.

    Just stop thinking and get the Z2 lol, that's what I did!
    It really is a brilliant phone and the screen is fantastic. The earphones work brilliantly too, I used them in the gym and the noise cancelling thing definitely works!
