Replied to: How would you change Sony’s Xperia Z?

I think Sony completely blundered the marketing of this phone. I thought the Xperia Z's design was up there with Android's phone of the year 2013 - the HTC One, however it didn't become nearly as popular. They did a great job of getting it hyped at CES January 2013, but then they didn't get the phone on any carriers till 6 months after launch, and it was only T-Mobile (not even one of the bigger carriers). I thought it was great they launched an unlocked phone from the get-go, however, you need carriers to have these phones in their stores, so people can see them and play with them. And to this day you can only find the unlocked versions on Amazon and Best Buy.
