So then, who's going for one of these?

I see thanks to Funk on the M8 thread that pricing has been announced. Clove have a preorder bundle available http://www.clove.co.uk/sony-xperia-z2

Oh now this is interesting, I'm caught in two minds now, I was about to organise a Z1 Compact to replace my Arc S but now there is the Z2 option if I wait.

My only issue is the Z2 is rather large for my liking , yes it's not very deep and is relatively light but it's barely pocket size.
They did a compact last time, will they do one this time round too?

I have just now received this from Vodafone.



So I have called O2, they can't take any orders or have any conversations about orders till the launch on the 7th April.

Grrr

So...

The M8 is out, a few on here already have it and reports appear to be great, apart from some camera concerns.

What's the feeling in here?

I've had an email from O2 asking me if I would like to place a pre-order on the Z2.

I'm looking at the Unlimited mins/texts - 8gb - 4g £19.99 up front and the £48 a month (I'll be getting a significant discount on the monthly cost).

Gotten:
As past participles of get, got and gotten both date back to Middle English. The form gotten is not used in British English but is very common in North American English, though even there it is often regarded as non-standard. In North American English, got and gotten are not identical in use. Gotten usually implies the process of obtaining something, as in he had gotten us tickets for the show, while got implies the state of possession or ownership, as in I haven’t got any money.

Gents,

Odd question I was asked by my BIL's wife at the weekend. How (on a Z2) do you get a message preview for a text to show on the lock screen? I had a quick fiddle but couldn't find any settings.

Did you ever get an answer to this mate?

I discovered a few weeks back that you can add widgets to the lock screen. If you swipe the time while on the lock screen, it will bring across a '+' symbol. Click that, enter you passcode and then select a widget.

You can have a couple different ones, I have the time, whatsapp and 'hangout' (messages); which gives you a preview. You can then swipe between them. Holding down on them allows you to change the order and dragging down extends the widget to cover the passcode entry and allows you to read a few messages at once thumbup
No, I didn't and she ended up switching back to an iphone as she couldn't get on with it.
