That charging dock is cool as fuck aswel. So you just have to place it in the dock? Theres no contact points or anything to plug in?

what's so good about the Z3c as oppose to the Z3? does that charging dock thing come with the z3c only?

Love that dock. Its not the size of an ipad mini gizmo, you can actually fit it in to your pocket and carry it around and it wont be a burden.

Works for all the z's as far as im aware.
People reaching for the compact cos they like a bit smaller.
I like the non comapct cos im old and dont go out so much anymore, and when i do i dont really touch my phone unless its to ring someone to hurry up etc.

Main body of the phone is plastic no metal, are you holding the the main z3 or the compact, maybe they're different?

Russ the body of the z3 and z3c is plastic but both front and back are covered in gorilla glass, so you cant feel the plastic, its under the glass.

Pretty sure that means the inside body mate, underneath the two sheets of gorilla glass. All phones insides are like that. (except the iphone, which is solid 14ct white gold). Smiling

The main body of the phone, round the edges between the glass, for example, the Iphone phone 4 was aluminium between the 2 pieces of glass the sony is plastic, it's not a deal beaker, if the battrey is as good as you say I may well go for it I'm off for a look tomorrow anyway.


can't one of you lot stick me on your friEnds and family? :flutters eyelashes: Laughing out loud

Haha, it's a damn good link though.

This is the one I meant to post: http://www.mobicity.co.uk/sony-xperia-z3-compact.html#.VCQoRStdVwQ

Would be good to go and have a look at a real z3 compact, hate the way phone shops have them plastic copies.

Yeah but having to hold a conversation with them, while they try and sell you untold crap, is generally unpleasant

Will have a 5S 32gb for sale in a few weeks if I go through with the leap mate. Will wait until I'm unemployed so I have something to do with my time before getting a Z3.

I left it in a hire car yesterday. Only realised first thing this morning, car had been collected though and hired out again almost immediately apparently. Same person who collected it also cleaned it. They sent somebody to the person who had the car and apparently it wasn't there. I know exactly where it was, I think the person who went to the car to check took it but can't prove it. Phone came up on find my iphone this aft, I drove to the area and got the cops to visit the house. Was a family just returning from holiday so they ruled them out. Guess they drove somewhere, turned it on for a second then off again.

Well pissed off with myself.
