Anyone heading to Mandarin Orchard for the Xperia Z workshop today and tomorrow?
Hope they give some freebies there and teach something useful, not how to switch on, where to put SIm and memory cards, etc...
The "workshop" was disappointing. They shouldn't even call it a "workshop".
Start of event, they serve buffet, then the emcee (in suit) introduced a "professional photographer who has held his own exhibition" to talk about taking photos on the Xperia Z. This guy goes up to the stage and says he is not a professional photographer, he has a full-time job and his hobby is taking photos using mobile phones... Then he shared about 7-8 photos that he and his friend took using the XZ and some info on the modes used.
Then a very long "break". Where you can go buy accessories, see NFC devices and demo, learn about apps, etc at different "stations".
After that they auctioned off 3 XZ.
All along there was a table with microphones and drinks on the stage, I was expecting some more sharing on the XZ BUT, after the auction, we were told that's it for the event, bye bye.
What kind of workshop was this?!? The only benefits were seeing the latest NFC devices being demo-ed and buying some accessories at special discounted prices.
Sony... come on...
