still on the XV. great phone but little love even from sony itself. but the dock is expensive and doesn't fit with a case on either.

Don't know when they will release android 4.3 / 4.4 update

Doubt so since its last year's model.
But I guess the current OS is good enough already, right?

judging from previous software rollouts, 4.3 probably yes but definitely after march

I think by then can change to Z2 liao..

 

[Sambuca78]

ya lo, the water resisted is quite fun but the battery life is very bad and hard to find casing for it.

 

[ClockWork]

I think by then can change to Z2 liao..

i'm sure Z2 will not be the only considerable contender for you by then
