Very tempted by the 5x but the only thing I would be spending £300+ on (over my OP O) is the finger print reader. Decisions need to be made.

Watched Corbyn on morninf telly and he came over worryingly well, no fluff or question avoidance, just truthful answers...all very Farage really....no use whatsoever in politics though.

OP2 has had some dodgy reviews from what I've seen, now just another Chinese clone :(

Another happy Z3 owners here, lovely phone, does everything needed, looks teh sex in Copper. I'm told the Mint Green Z5 is also lovely to behold.

OP2! Decision made :)
I have seen two and both had a tinge on the screen and the Home Button / Finger Print reader just dropped off randomly. Apparently bugs that will be fixed in an update but not confidence inspiring.

And just to upset the thread I had a z3 Compact and hated it. Then a Note 3 which I tolerated. Now the OPO with Oxygen and I am finally happy. Stock Android all the way for me. I think Sony are heading more that way now too?

After owning and liking the Z3C and then selling it to some strange geezer and then buying an S6 I have to say that the Z3C suffered really badly from the bullshit that Sony installs on it and it is painfully slow compared to the Samsung (which has little bloat and is easily removed if it does). I liked the Z3C for it's size then ended up hating it for it's size and then I started to hate it for other things that I can't remember anymore.

Honestly these new phones are going to have to go some to be better than the Samsung, I do miss the waterproof option but I have a decent case that provides some water protection.

Must admit I'm not seeing any shit on my Z3 that can't be very easily uninstalled/disabled/ignored - shit from Vodafone, yes, but not seeing much Sony specific stuff. What was winding you up?

I don't remember mate, honestly. I toned down the power saving tips bollocks but they were still there. I just know when I fired up the S6 it was like "wow" the difference was astounding, a bit unfair really as the S6 is the next gen phone so to speak but the experience is so much nicer in every day use, oh and the camera on the Z3C was not what it was promised but I think that was down to Sony and their software.

The above isn't a cop out I have the worst memory which is getting worse daily :(

Did you miss the little check box that says "OK, Don't tell me this again?" :)

For me it was all the Sony Music, Photo, Video ect apps. I disabled them all but they still kept coming back whenever Sony Updated them. I never looked into disabling the Sony Updates but that part pissed me right off.

Ah, you see I haven;t disabled them because I actually use them - the Music app especially, I think is superb.

I did not use them for the same reason I will not use Google Play. When I open Music I want to see my Music not whatever album is on sale this week. So I went back to doubleTwist where I just get the Album list I want :)

It's a bit late now but go to Settings, find the check box for Music Unlimited, uncheck it, sales messages disappear. Although to be fair, since they shut down Music Unlimited, it has disappeared from the Music Player entirely :)

The latest google map app lets you view streetview in vr 3d with motion sensor control, so frickin cool looking around practically anywhere.

Hmmm, still on my OPO right now with Cyanogen and love it. Will have to look into the OP2 issues, thanks for the heads up. Son has the M9 and wife is using S5 but would like an S6 for crimbo. They are all pretty good and Phones are not that expensive here.

Very tempted by the 5x I have no earthly idea why they don't add a Micro SD slot though. My 64GB OPO is nearly full so it will be a 32GB one and half my music by the looks of it.

I didn't look at any of that just the headline because I would get murderous about it. Fantastic creatures and the morons should of known better. The bird wouldn't of got its bearings.

Fucking imbeciles.
If you understood Danish and had seen the interviews you'd know why it was released where it was. They are all very experienced falconeers, so I am guessing they knew better than you do
