Do Sony generally lock bootloaders?
Yes they do.
how much internal memory will this most likely have? 16 or 32 gb?
do sony let you push apps to the sd if it does support one?
Mobicity lists internal memory as : 16GB
Will wait for MWC this month end….HTC us ready to announce M7, hope it gets better
What interests me is that one of the reviews on this shows a feature that actually kills background apps when the screen is off, however you can personally select apps to continue to run ie: gmail, facebook G+ etc.. thus saving on battery life. It will be this or HTC.. already had a galaxy for over a year now need a change.
i wander if the zl version will be much cheaper
Can’t decide between this or the Nexus 4. I know they are vastly different phones but we’ll see when my contract ends in June.
Personally I’d go for this, I know it’s not a nexus, but the larger screen, NFC, and the skin on Sony isn’t too heavy either.
