Sheeps and apples..nexus 7 is for home use and SGP for outdoor..its always with me..i had 7 inch tablet before i bought SGP 5 and have them both now ,one for home and other for outdoor.
Selling SGP because you have nexus 7 is beyond my brain..so you will care a tablet and listen to music and stuff like that.Even i have 3G on my 7 inch tablet with 30 gb data plan i dont care it with me often .. and SGP 5 is always in the pocket.

I have both and I prefer my nexus for daily use, but the player has some stuff that I really miss like physical buttons and a micro SD slot. If you have to choose go for the nexus

1. The camera on a tablet is generally horrible.
2. People looks pretty stupid when they are trying to pick a picture with it :silly:

Even though a camera on a tablet is generally horrible (even our Players have horrible Res) and looks rather stupid when using it for daily usage, it acts more of a convenience, say when you really need to take an image at that moment or an app needs it for AR gaming.
Generally, devices without rear cameras are usually deal breakers for me. But so far, I am used to not having a camera on my Player due to lack of camera from our ICS ROMs.
So it really depends on ones usage.

Yes, my same exact thoughts! Even popular science agrees with us, in their review for the nexus 7. Every time I see somebody waving their iPad around like a dslr camera, I want to lolololol!

Yeah but the majority of people who owns a tablet owns a smartphone too and the majority of the time, people have their smartphones with them. So it's not that necessary. Also I wouldn't like to pay 50$ for a crappy camera. I'm already happy with what they offer.

Depends on your use for it. The nexus 7 spec vs spec is obviously better than the Galaxy Player 5.0, however the 5.0 is way more portable. If you're like say a college student than I would get a nexus 7 sense you're not going to be moving around that much. The only draw back to me is the amount of space the N7 has.

Also known as the MT28, I know this phone was announced for only the Japanese market, and just recently in September. I am interested in any rumors for a potential international release. I would love to have this phone. I cannot underscore that enough. It is svelte & slim, has amazing resolution, and decent performance specs.
Has anyone outside Japan gotten a hold of this phone? Were you able to put it on another native language??
Thanks!
So do i, i cant wait to have this phone but this if it will be released internationally

Someone, somewhere suggested looking at http://www.kyoex.com/, but they do not have the SX listed... yet.
I have it!
I live in Japan and got it last week.
It is an awesome phone, perfect for me and English is in the menu, English keyboard too.
I can get them if anyone's interested?
If a developer that might make some custom ROMS etc in the future wants one all the better! 'Cause I dont reckon I can do it.
Price & SX vs. iPhone 5

What was the street price? At Kyoex it's $775 + shipping.
A comparison to the new iPhone 5 -- http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4910&idPhone2=4775. The street price for an unlocked iPhone 5 is ~$1000
More spec's on Qualcomm's developer network: https://developer.qualcomm.com/device/sony-xperia-sx-so-05d
Its between 37000-50000 yen depending where you look.
From Docomo they are 50000, but there are loads of people that "turn over" the handsets to get cash by getting it free on a contract and selling it. They are between 37000-46000.

hi guys, i'm also really interested in this phone
I'm from Europe but i have a friend who will go to Japan soon and he could bring it back for me
I'm wondering, will everything work correctly in Europe and where will we have some devs, custom roms etc? Will XDA support this phone?
isn't it a bit pricey for those specs and screen size?
love the tall screen btw, but it reminds me of a very popular device currently on the market

In terms of bands in the UK at least Im not sure if 4G will work. It says 2100Mhz LTE (the UK is 1800Mhz LTE), however the chipset looks the same as for example the One XL and Xperia GX (Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon).
i'm only interested in 3g, i hope that could work OK, i will check with my carrier

actually it's a perfect phone because of it's screen size and the specs (pricy yes...a little bit)
right now i have an X10 and it's a bit too big for me, so this one could be just the right size
the only phone i could think of getting instead is the xperia sola but it's camera really disappointed me...
I actually went from an x10 to this and its perfect for me.
Its marked as a Docomo "world wing" phone so it should work anywhere in the world. Only thing is whether lte will work.
You prob won't be able to use the nfc stuff, tv and radio over there tho.

Root has been done and there is a slow stream of customisations. No full Roms yet tho.

yeah, i believe it would be perfect for me also...
can you give me the link to the Japanese site? i want to see how google translate works for it
In my experience Google translate sucks with Japanese. Its grammar is too different I think.
I'm out at the moment but if you Google Xperia freaks jp it'll probably pop up.

does your phone boot up like this one?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsUYR73r4xM
i got mine in china and it boots up like my Ray. first "SONY" then just "XPERIA". i don't have all the Docomo-Branding. My UI also just looks like my Ray and totally different from the one in the video. Build is 7.0.D.1.117. But it has the "NTTdocomo" on top of the front side.
english manual is here:
http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/english/support/trouble/manual/download/so05d/index.html
Japanese forum:
http://xperia-freaks.org/bbs/forum/xperiasx-development
Yes it boots up like that. Maybe the company debranded it or got hold of an early international model?

mine is june 2012. but it says "prototype" on the label.
i also got it without a box, but the shop owner told me that he had it gotten from Japan for me. very strange.
Wow. You've got yourself a prototype model for better or worse! Probably means the bootloader is unlocked and less docomo bloatware tho. Wonder how it will accept updates?

Love the detail on the wooden baskets on the 2nd image. Really nice clarity
Very impressive shots coming from a 8MP camera, I guess the camera sensor quality makes up for the low pixel count. Night shots seem to be terrible though, very high amounts of noisy and pixelation. I don't think flash will have any effect on those night shots either, unless the target objects are within 5 meters of the phone.

hey man! i love the phone..amazing screen. quicker than my GS4. some bits of lag that annoy me (theres lag when going back to teh home screen..seems as if the launcher redraws every signle time, but it freezes movement so you don't actually SEE the redraw.)
the one was a great phone, and i loved my DNA..but the camera on both were meh. i played with a one in the store, and while it's great, and those spekaers rock, the screen was too small.
the speaker is nothing special on the G2, to be honest. there's some kind of built in limiter/compressor that you CAN'T turn off, which sucks, because it makes music sound kinda crappy over it. haven't tried headpohnes yet.
over all, fast, awesome phone though with a great screen.

def! i'm seeing mike D and scott around too, so who knows, we might get some good stuff going over here.
the lag i believe is simply the launcher handling refreshes. it's not always there, but sometimes hwen you go back home and try to switch pages irght away, it doesn't do anything, then it moves over very choppy.

It has been a great experience having a g2 for a week but the only reason I will have to go back to my m7 is storage. Wish I had been able to get a 32gb one instead of 16gb. But will be on the hunt for one. Not very common in the uk by the looks of it at the moment . Shame as I love the phone especially the screen and camera.

Wow, that's really disappointing. In the U.S., it appears to be the opposite situation: you'd have to hunt to find the 16 gb version (and why on earth would you want to?). Even still, 32 gb fixed feels a bit limiting sometimes when ~1/3 of that is taken up with system files. I'll have to get into the habit of moving pics and videos off the camera.

Correction :-1/4 of the space
LG G2
Even at 1/4 that's a lot. I was surprised when I first looked and saw how much space was already taken.
Well hopefully I have found one now by the weekend so a bit happier now. Would be better if all of them were the same as the f320 Korean version. I can't fault this battery life and screen size. I just like the phones size and feel.

I bought the 32 GB version (coming from a 16 GB S4) and I really can't say I'm lacking space. If you are thinking about getting a G2, go straight for a 32 gig one.
Well hopefully after the 3rd attempt and an ebay dispute I will get my hands on a 32gb g2, so can wave goodbye to my 16gb. All I need to do now is get htc to sort out my htc one which ups has lost. Lol

Actually, you can technically modify build.prop on any phone to change your phone to look like an LG, sign up for box, get 50gb, then revert the build.prop back. Not that anyone would do that. But you all have LG, so it doesn't matter anyway.
