Did sony upgraded the shatterfilm on the latest xperia phones that make the extra protecter unnecasery or something? Or just cost reduction? (for some countries)

Most of us pre-ordered and got an extra item instead.
Some got the Sony MDR-1R
Some got the DK-26
Some got bluetooth speakers etc etc
Maybe that's the reason. I don't think people can still get those items anymore when they buy the phone, but these without the protector included are still from the old batch.
Who knows...

Got my blue one :D

Besides aesthetics, are there any differences between the models?
Im coming from the original epic 4g so this is a super upgrade lol.
Ive seen some of the guides and am kinda confused....i want to root my phone and take stuff like facebook off, but i really dont understand how to go about it with the bootloader.
Never had to worry about that with my epic, so im pretty ignnorant. Do i HAVE to unlock bootloader? And if i do, are there
any drawbacks to using htcdev to do it?
Im still getting used to the forum layoit....not sure ive seen all relevant info because theres just so much with 2 development pages lol dont really know where i should be looking...

The two development sections are mainly for rom development, so you won't find what you need there. You should find the answers to most of your questions in Q&A or General
Here's a link to get you started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277892

Woot! I came from the Epic as well. Welcome to the One. In about 2 weeks, if you still have the Epic, pick it up. I guarantee your first thought will be "how did I ever get by with such a small device?" Lol. I've been rooted since it was available and the only drawback to dev unlock is the wiping process.
This thing isn't quite as impossible to brick as the Epic but its close. RUU can save most anything but I wouldn't experiment with trying to brick it
I'd give Sense 5 ROMs a try first and see how you like it. If that's not for you then you've got similar ROMs the Epic had. And CM10.2 is extremely stable over here. We're hoping for a 4.3 Sense 5 leak/OTA soon as well. Otherwise follow the guides and you should be good.
And I don't believe there are differences besides appearance.

They're a Best Buy exclusive color. Metallic Blue. Pretty legit!

I'm a week out from my upgrade, and I was originally in the black camp. I'm definitely getting the blue. Its such a good looking phone. Also, I'm holding out hope that the blue might be a little tougher finish than the black, and I swear it feels different in the hand, a little more.. rough? but I could just be going crazy.

I have the Black HTC One for about a month now, no scratches or any issues!

I ordered my Blue one from bestbuy.com on the 15th and it still hasn't shipped :\
Contacted customer support and they said its been backordered on a first-come-first-serve basis. Is it really that popular or am I getting screwed over somehow?

Even though the Incredible S is a very good and sturdy phone, I would not recommend it at this time as its already past 3 years since it last launched. Do you have some sort of budget??

Hmm well I don't know how much your plan costs nor do I know how vodafone does things but it might be worth to try the S4 Mini, One Mini, or the Xperia SP. They are all pretty descent mid-range phones.

XPERIA T no update to android 4.3

Looks like it is made by a 5 year old and Xperia T is twice in the image, 1 with YES and 1 with NO.
Looks fake to me.
Edit: And the Google edition of the Xperia Z will be updated by google of course... and don't know why it is in here anyway

Different strokes... Wait until you take a picture on the Nexus 4 (or from what the specs say the 5). Unlike the Sony, it is truly horrible camera.
The trick is never buy a subsidized phone, then it won't be simlocked or bootloader locked. That was an option with the Xperia T. I picked up mine for $279 at newegg.

The camera on my t is rubbish. When you take a video all you can here is a clicking noise from the camera

just to make sure what u talking about...you mean a noisy autofocus rattle sound, in videos?
if thats what you mean, i had that too with some Roms, but with omniRom its gone for me. dont know why. guess its a problem with some mic or whatever. happen for me just with some roms, not with all...crazy huh
thats your problem?

Maybe the Xperia T LTE is the one getting 4.3 update. I think the 3G one will not get the update. Maybe i'm wrong.

Neither are just like what happened to my play. A phone with specs good enough but not given the updates on purpose. If sony want to gain the market they need to release 1 flagship a year and support their previous flagships for longer than 5 months. The galaxy s3 is older and is getting android 4.3 and why aren't we?

I also will no longer support Sony's devices after this, kind of a slap in the face. They can take their T and stick it

this is what sony deserve after they screwed my over twice. First with my xperia play now with phone. No wonder why xperias depreciate so quickly

Because no update to new version and sony bad, nexus cool because google. New version is good, because it keeps on battery half hour longer/lasts shorter but better. And profiles/new function in camera which i will use two times in my life/better integration with google plus omg! And no new version means that flagship abandoned. I am betrayed. sony bad.
To be honest i don't understand it too. When it comes - it comes. If not - who cares. Update from 2.3 to 4.0 was a big deal, because everything changed. API, nature of Android etc. GB slowly died and became incompatible with many interesting apps.
But update from one jelly bean to another? Dudes... It's only features!
Please just be happy that Sony released quite recent well written Android version. It's highly optimized and allows to do almost everything that is available to 4.2 and 4.3 devices..

Well not for me, it depends on your preference.
LG G2 design and quality is better than S4 I came from S4 to G2 before owning Z1. I really like the way LG designed G2, from buttons, bezel, screen size and curve sides, the only downside for me is the lack of sd slot.

I have owned a Galaxy nexus and a nexus 4, the Z1 is very nice, the only thing I really hate is the bloatware, and the slow OS updates (still in 4.2.2), but the Z1 looks great, other than that I really like the phone. The nexus 5, well is a nexus.
