iPhone established a base while they enjoyed the market stance of being the only alternative to Blackberry. If Sony wants to be a major smartphone/tablet player then they are entering an already saturated market. So the two scenarios are not easily comparable. The Xperia line is barely a known brand but if the Z spent a month or so sitting in VZW’s storefront windows that would change very quickly.

Alienated because of exclusiveness? Isn’t that what the iPhone did for years….

That works but I’d rather have the icons look good on an OS-level

I really hate restocking fees. It’s just another way carriers love shafting customers.

They refused to sell it before 11:11…I was like c’mon, that’s crazy. Then I ended up returning it and paying a restock fee.

I know right, the Playstation line in general made me a fanboy. Hell, my PS2 still works like a champ.

They merged the two quite a while ago.

So many 11s. It’s pretty hard to forget the launch date.

If only Verizon was a GSM carrier with all their beautiful spectrum, then we could just grab unlocked devices. Then again, once they receive VoLTE and a full LTE roll out, we may be able to finally not have that problem

Pick a launcher and use an icon pack, problem solved.

Please, oh please let the carrier be Verizon! That would make up for the feature lacking DNA.

I’ll throw my money at Sony all day long for their phones and PS3′s

I wouldn’t count on seeing Sony on Verizon.

The only thing that has alienated Sony is their exclusivity to AT&T. I really wish their new top of the line phones were 4.7″ instead of 5″. I’m definitely not liking the 5″ phones. I still may have to get this though. The only reason I use my N4 over my Xperia S is because the S only supports Edge on T-Mobile.
