Years ago, nearly 4 I switched from the mobile phone on your smartphone. First it was a HTC Wildfire S, which I simply no longer enough with increasing use of memory and the speed (after 2 years). Next, a Samsung Galaxy Advanced came into the house. With this I was also satisfied in principle, but after 1,5 years it kept crashing and lost more often times completely the network connection. So it was time for a new: Finally back from my favorite manufacturer Sony (although my cell phones always had Sony Ericsson). I've actually toyed with the Z3 compact, but the difference of almost 500 to less than 200 has finally tipped the balance for the M2. And I'm really excited! Your smartphone uses liquid, the display looks good and the pictures, I can not complain too. CONCLUSION: My Phones are always a little cheaper but the performance is constantly increasing :-)
