What are you on?  

 

If I was me 3 years ago, I'd be all over this (proud owner of a Z3C) but I grown to the point where I want a larger display/phone so if I were to buy a new phone, its gotta be the XZ1 (actually a 5.5"+ is ideal so...the XZ1 is probs a tad small...) 

Anyway, still looks great. Now only if the standard XZ1 is as cheap...

WHAAAAAAAAAT?

 

I wasn't going to upgrade my X Compact, but damn son...

 

Only thing that concerns me is the effect on battery life of going from a SD 650 to an 835. Oh, and the fact that the display is still 720p even though the Z5C had a 1080p display.

 

Granted, the Z5C also could be used as an emergency space heater in the winter, so...
