just noticed my contract is up after Xmas, so was looking at what next?
xperia z1, galaxy s4 or nexus 5?
or another?
I'm currently swaying towards the nexus, but I love that the z1 is water proof

Actually i would choose Nexus 5 ahead of the others.. Z1 is waterproof, but i don't think its really worth it.. 20mp isn't like what it should be.. And bootloader can't be unlocked since Camera will be damaged further.. SGS4 lacks quality.. Although it will receive some major updates for another 1 and half year atleast.. Nexus 5 is new and will get support for another 2 years or more without doubt because of Google.. Also Nexus 5 is coming with 4.4, which is much more faster and also new features already.. I am willing to sell my SXS and go for Nexus 5 soon which is also highly unlikely..
Id get me a ZU
Size
Power
Ugh camera... (only downside)
Style (i like sony UI)
Sonys amazing ram management
Or even a nexus 5 it has that google support behind it
Edit: i asked people about the ZU, alot of people said it was nice but the camera sucked (thread link below)

@Ben36 Nexus 5 any day better than other options... U will be the first 1 to get all android updates
If u are considering Samsung, Note 3 is what I would suggest... screen quality is way better than SGS4 or Xperia Z1
I think definitely the nexus is the one too. unless there's anything due out that would be worth waiting for?

Aren't you people bored of Sony smartphones? I change manufacturer everytime, because I always need something new, something fresh, and Sony changes only hardware, software is basically the same for all their smartphones.
go for nexus if u want fast and latest android,samsung for heavy features that u mostly wont use and sluggish ui,sony is good but their software doesnt utilise the hardware,they dont use it in good way,and no timely updates.move to nokia lumia series if u dont want a smartphone hahahaha and iphone if u dont like messing with your phone :silly: for now nexus 5 or wait till xperia Z2(long time but our xperia s isnt slouch yet).i am just sad no good roms yet for xperia s,few are good but not as expected
so Nokia Lumia it is!

Actually Dual boot is not that safe i guess.. Well, Android gives an app for everything.. Windows still has to emerge.. Not much changes can be made with UI.. Unlike Android, u can change UI to virtually any kind possible.. Although its always the one who's buying has to decide what his needs are.. If it were me, i would definitely go with Android first and then iOS as my 2nd.. Just my opinion..

Call it fake or mockup or whatever, there is a strong rumor that Sony will be releasing Nexus Phone this year.
And how is a Sony Nexus different from the Xperia T? Or rather, what exactly is a Nexus? Also, I'm more interested in the rumored quad core Sony phone that was leaked last week.

In general, a Nexus device gets the latest updates faster than any other phone. They usually set the bar for where Google thinks the platform should be at. All of the manufacturers will have their own flagship devices, but none of them will get updates faster than a Nexus device.

Launching on JB (E dual will launch on ICS with JB update coming after. Thank you Felimenta97)

Well, not anymore (in terms of specs, at least). E and J were the last very low end phone of their line. Now is just medium to high end. They want to be a premium company. Even their "low end" phones are gonna be medium ones. Wait for a event soon... (Not sure when, as looks like they won't be at MWC).
and still they decide to release FF OS for this particular device!

Anyone else considering this change??

No. We already have fully working Jelly Bean 4.1.2, and 4.2.2. I would consider selling my Xperia just for a different sized phone.
True the current 4.1.2 roms are soo solid and stable they'll be better than Sony's when it's released anyway. It's a guarantee the first release of Sony will have buggy where as our 4.1.2 roms will only get better using the newly released sony drivers

Are you administrator, or god to say me what i can and what i cant.
the s4 is so underwhelming and ugly and cheap looking that it won´t stand a chance against the new nexus, h2 sony and moto x.
i´ll gladly wait a few months for a good phone and not sell my phone for a phone which emphasizes on software gimmicks like floating touch (sony sola says hello).
samsung is the apple of android and by that a bad copy of apple
Man, do not compare crappy crApple to android phones! Cheap plastic? And how you wrote these words? On metal made keyboard?
Samsung isnt any better with updates.for example Many Samsung phones with same specs as Arc didnt even get icecream sandwich.Jelly bean is getting released within a month but you are free to buy any cellphone from any manufacturer u please,just stop making threads about it.

I'm not sure if we get an option to buy the Motorola phones here in India, anybody who can throw some light on this is appreciated. I have a DEFY not planning to sell.
PS: Whenever I go to these stores here in India, the seller Moto models are not available & they don't stock it. I'm aware of Motorola closing doors here, but any other ways to buy?
As I generally avoid buying Samsung products, the only two phones that I consider at the moment are:
Razr HD
Xperia Acro S
Xperia V
While I really think that the Razr I is a nice phone, there is no CM for it yet (and I have my doubts that it will ever be).
For now, I stay with the Defy because of the form factor (for me, the size is just right) and the community.
