    Wow very good price for the Xperia T2. Tks u :)

    • Cap N on 31/10/2014 - 11:24

        The t2 was brought out as a mid range phone not a top range :)

  • Merlict on 31/10/2014 - 03:29

    Yeah great prices on last year's Sony models. I like that purple.

    • PVA on 31/10/2014 - 18:43

      We have 3 xperia Z phones. Tried to get the purple back then and it was sold out each time, as so as stock got in it was gone. Ended up with black and white. Great phones still and smaller than the z1 with same screen.
      Never had a problem except for my silly son breaking his carrying on with his mates.

      • Make it so on 31/10/2014 - 18:52

        The Z1 is a bit sizable, but that's because they put in a 21 megapixel camera with a sensor that normally comes in a "bridge camera" (between compact and SLR). The photos it takes are incredible.
        Keep in mind that although the Z1 is bigger, it has better rounded corners and supposedly a stronger but less blurry screen than the original Z.

    • CyberGenesys on 31/10/2014 - 08:38

      I believe the xperia z1 is worth the extra over the xperia z. Is it the same for the z1 ultra vs. Z ultra?

      • FootooMootoo on 31/10/2014 - 09:59

        There is no Z1 Ultra. Just the Z Ultra. Been waiting for the new Ultra (Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4?) for a while and gave up and pre-ordered a Note 4.

        • thaihoangaus on 31/10/2014 - 10:04

    Anyone else getting the order is getting "reviewed" email?

  • highon2str on 31/10/2014 - 08:01

    A question for the more technically inclined. There is a recent deal I was eyeing, for a $172 shipped refurb Nexus 4 16GB. It's got 2GB ram and a 1.5GHz quad core snapdragon. Where would this sit amongst all these phones? Am I right to say quicker than the T2 and M2 due to the double ram size?

    • dyziplen on 31/10/2014 - 08:05

      Nexus 4 should be faster and with a better graphic chip, but be wary of the battery life and camera.

    No offence but knowing who I know those prices are actually pretty average. Don't forget to google the model and see what prices come up first. HN haven't been known to give things away.

    • dyziplen on 31/10/2014 - 09:52
      +3

      The only good price is the T2. Maybe the M2.

      The rest are meh.

      MSY had the Z at 300-320 for a long long time before selling out. Z1 at about 400 as well. Then obviously the Z Ultra at 320 as well. Moto G 4G has been at this price by Good Guys and DSE previously

      • m2thez on 31/10/2014 - 10:51

        YEAH, agree the T2 is probably the best out of the deals. but with 1GB of ram is it still capable for modern days use?

        • ksyu223 on 31/10/2014 - 11:39

          iphone 6 & 6 plus have 1gb ram too - although different phone os

        • superforever on 31/10/2014 - 11:40

          2GB is better and smoother.

        • dyziplen on 31/10/2014 - 12:52

          For me, it probably wouldn't matter, browsing, watching videos, just basic stuff. More ram would be better, more tabs while browsing, better gaming etc. But for 220 odd, its a good mid range.

  • Astro551 on 31/10/2014 - 11:13

    Wow why is the T2 Ultra's 3.5mm jack on side? If you don't have an angled jack seem like it would be the biggest pain in the ass to use

    • 32768 on 31/10/2014 - 12:34

      practical or not it's so you can watch movies/play games while holding onto it.

      • Astro551 on 31/10/2014 - 13:03

        hmm fair enough, that actually makes sense.

  • slknv on 31/10/2014 - 11:49

    I had a t2 ultra 4g (not dual sim) which I bought in the ebay 15% off sale. After 3 weeks screen started flickering then died entirely. It's on the way back to hk for (maybe) a repair, the seller has already refunded me in full.

    Thoughts about the phone- huge screen was good, incredible battery life, performance was fine for emails and web, never tried gaming on it. Terrible, terrible, awful camera. Bad white balance, contrast and lots of flaring/purple fringing. Lightweight because of plastic construction. If the screen hadn't gone bad, I would recommend it providing you didn't care about photo quality. If I get it back I'll keep using it, otherwise will probably look for a moto g, oneplus etc.

    • dyziplen on 31/10/2014 - 12:50
      +1

      From the reviews, the photo quality is supposed to be decent enough. If you think its terrible, probably stay away from moto g and other mid range phones, coz they are supposed to be worse.

      • scrimshaw on 31/10/2014 - 15:50

        It's probably fixable with a firmware upgrade. But I assume that Sony may have included a camera sensor that is at the budget category, so don't too much from a mid-spec device.

        I'd look at the new Samsung Galaxy Mega 2. The previous Mega 6.3 got fairly good reviews and Samsung usually does pretty well in the imaging department.

        • dyziplen on 31/10/2014 - 16:08

          From the GSMarena review, they think they actually used Xperia Z's sensors in the T2.

          http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_t2_ultra-review-1075p8.p…

          However, Xperia Z's camera isn't exactly that great, but it should be better than other mid-range phones such as Moto G and Zenfone, where the camera is decidedly mediocre.

        • PVA on 31/10/2014 - 18:50

          @garratt torlesse:
          The camera on the z is not that bad really especially when the os was updated and anew camera system was in place.

  • 123bargain on 31/10/2014 - 12:06

  • [Deactivated] on 31/10/2014 - 17:37

    I currently own a Motorola G 4G. My main issue is the depth of the handset, 11.6mm compared to say the Xperia Z which is only 7.9mm. Any advice on if it would be worth replacing my current handset with something like the Xperia Z, I don't like the Z1 as it's very heavy, around 176g from memory.

    • CyberGenesys on 31/10/2014 - 17:42

      The weight of;
      - Xperia Z, 146g
      - Xperia Z1, 170g
      - Moto G, 143g

      Would you really notice the extra 24 grams?

      • [Deactivated] on 31/10/2014 - 17:46

        I know it sounds stupid but I'm very OCD about this kind of thing.

        • Make it so on 31/10/2014 - 18:36

          The Z1 does feel a bit heavy. But it is significantly faster, as it has a much more modern chipset (snapdragon 800, versus 400). Battery life is also quite amazing (I get 3 days out of mine).
          But frankly, looking at the list above, I would say the best bargain is the T2. But if you are a heavy user, you will need 2GB RAM.

        • rocknrolla1102 on 01/11/2014 - 02:14

          @Make it so: Can't even went though even a day with it. How come u have 3 days battery life?

    • PVA on 31/10/2014 - 18:54

      Mentioned before that we have three z phones. Size wise the phone is great better than z1 and z2, really thin and light and top and bottom bezel (black area top and bottom) is smaller.
      Never upgraded to the newermodels cos they didn't seem nicer to hold, z3 is great though.

    • Make it so on 31/10/2014 - 18:38

      Doubt it will. My 5" Z1 barely fits. And when wearing jeans, it certainly isn't comfortable. It's what put me off from buying an Ultra, in spite of the great MSY special.

  • OrbDaggerZ on 01/11/2014 - 01:26

    Hi,

    What do people think about the M2, as a phone and it's price?

    Not too keen on it's 8gb, would prefer 16 at the very least.

    I'm keen on the 16gb Sony Z1 compact, but wish it had 32gb.

    I'm not a big mobile user, so it's size (or a bit smaller) is about right for me & it's water proofing is a huge plus, as I dont have worry about buying a waterproof compact camera, as my current camera isn't.

    Got the phone, T2—- beautiful, I'm chuffed..but-

    Cannot connect to the internet? The SIM says data is enabled & I can get email…I'm on BOOST unlimited.

    Any ideas? Is it a bad mobile?

    Weird.

    Ta.

    Just a side-note: have had an "update" message from update centre drop in— "Ready to download" @ 409-MB! Good grief— kind of frigging bloated for an 8GB mobile??

    Seriously- anyone have a clue why I cannot get online? It works fine still in the old mobile I'm trying to replace (because it shuts the freaking ringer off!). Gah…I just want a phone to do very basic stuff & it's a drama- sigh

    *I take it back- I thought I got email- but no.

    Wtf is wrong? Help?

  • Geekomatic on 07/11/2014 - 00:35

    I just went through a reset & am now looking at mobile settings>

    I see SONY GPRS under APNs- is that correct?

    When I press "Network operators" it searches but doesn't find anything?

    Old mobile is Huwaei- finds no issues, so not my location or chip…

    ???

    PS- tried both SIM slots, too.

  • Geekomatic on 07/11/2014 - 00:59

    *Update: I did have to manually add tesltra.wap to the list of APN's.

    Also, this being the 3rd opening of the msd slot, the nice, gloss outside layer simply "popped off". This is the layer with the msd logo on it…not impressed, as I have been very careful lest I might need to return it…

    With these issues, not happy w/Sony. Very clunky connectivity & VERY weak covers.

    Imho

    • CyberGenesys on 07/11/2014 - 10:49

      Don't say these things, my order hasn't arrived yet :(

      • Geekomatic on 07/11/2014 - 12:52

        Well, at least you know that you might have to add in your own APN?

        I mean, that's just weird to me? I've had a few mobiles in the past years and NONE of them needed ME to input my APN?

        As far as the covers go— I've always hated those little dangling plastic bits, but for $213, was going to overlook it this time. In my case, maybe I just got a dodgy one- a one-off, poorly glued outer sheath…

        Last quibble (or, agreement to previous posts): the volume is weak. Sony has this "boost" setting for the internal speaker, but it doesn't do much. Volume on max isn't very loud. I can comfortably listen to music w/earbuds at max volume (set at 50% is nearly mute)…being Sony, you'd think to expect "great sound"?

        To make you feel better—> other than those niggling issues, the phone is a beautiful thing. Good looks & responsive. Imho

        • CyberGenesys on 10/11/2014 - 15:03

          For me, when I started the phone with the SIM in the first thing it did was a wizard and asked "do you want to connect to the internet and automatically configure the SIM card" (or words to that effect). Shortly after (<5 seconds) it popped up asking if I was Telstra or Boost mobile (I'm neither, Aldi Mobile) but I chose Telstra anyway at it worked right away.

  • CyberGenesys on 10/11/2014 - 12:36
