Decided I'm gonna keep my Galaxy Note and get a giffgaff sim. Have had no phone usage the last few days as Vodafone appear to have killed my SIM. Bet I don't have any joy getting the PAC code...
My Note does need a new camera module which I may just get. A quick strip down shows that it is an accessible module so not issues there. Might be a more underlying problem though, not sure.Last edited by speedlolita; 10-10-2014, 16:16.

Is it a worthwhile upgrade from a Z Ultra?
Love the Ultra, but lack of flash and the 16GB memory are issues
Upgradeable internal memory too. 16Gb then MicroSD.

Lack of flash is a pain but I take 90% of pics outside during the day so knew it wouldn't be a problem for me personally.
There are rumours of a Ultra 2 with a 6.2" screen but don't know how genuine they are.

The Z Ultra has hat as well, but the KitKat update has killed the ability to transfer apps to SD....16 GB internal storage just isn't enough anymore.
I see there's a T-Mobile only variant that has 32GB...maybe I'll wait for that to come down in price a bit.Last edited by usman; 14-10-2014, 13:18.

Yeah I agree, the lack of flash is not a big deal for me either.
I would be surprised if Sony does come out with an Ultra 2...they tend to kill off their less successful niche products after just one cycle....two at the most. The Ultra has technically had 2 with the LTE variant release and they dropped its rice very quickly...I think it'll go the way of the Vaio P. I hope I am wrong though.
Wakka and Vr46: the Z Ultra is so thin i doesn't feel awkward at all. So long as you have decent pockets/no hipster skinny jeans/no massive thighs, itll fit reasonably enough in pocket. And as for making calls, to me it's more natural having a phone that goes the length of your face (like home phones we use or cordless phones).
The phone-less Z Ultra released in Japan on the oher hand was such a dumb idea by any measure, but Sony do a lot of dumb things. That albatross-round-neck Ericsson partnership lasted more than a decade after all....

Im so pissed the new Nexus 6 is now a phablet. Looks like they're keeping the old N5 without a hardware refresh which is what I was hoping for. Even the new Moto X is too big for my liking. A 5" screen with a tiny footprint is the sweet spot for me, anything bigger is just a pain to keep getting in and out of your pockets ffs. Cant understand why Google made this decision, surely it wont sell as well as the N5 did (which wasnt a hot seller by any means but still . . . . ) at least Apple gave their customers a choice between 2 sizes.
