That'll be locked to o2 and the bootloader won't be unlockable
So tempted to get this but I'll hold out and see if a new Nexus is announced next month

Same here... not liking the rumours about a 6 inch screen on the new Nexus though.
Best smartphone on the market atm - perfect balance in terms of size and performance
It's a good deal, those freebies from Handtec and Clove ain't worth more than few quid.

I love the idea of a 6 inch screen, in the same footprint as say the note 3/4. As it's manageable, even with my tiny girl hands.
The main problem is it will likely be LCD. LCD displays simply don't look very good on anything above 5" or so as the shift in brightness is always there and distorts colours in an obvious way due to how large the surface is.
Even the high quality LCD panels in the iPhone 6+, while the colour doesnt shift much, the blacks turn to purples because of the tech they used to give better overall viewing angles.
Its basically AMOLED or go home. Motorola aren't exactly known for putting the best screens in their phones either. Good, but nowhere near great.

Should be announced around 15-16th November. The Nexus X rumours may be mixed up with a larger sized version of the Moto X. If they have any sense they won't put a 5.92" LCD on it but a 5.2" as originally thought. If they do put a 5.92" LCD on the next Nexus then I won't be buying it and will wait until another stock Android L phone is out in 2015.

However nothing spec wise on it that makes me want to change my Nexus 4 for it. I can't see it being much upgrade over what I already have. Still waiting for Nexus X to see what that brings.

I have a ps4. game over in terms of phone choice. just waiting for the right deal. and also a little worried that the compact doesnt allow ps4. on the sony website its a selling point on the z3 but not on the compact.
PS4 Remote Play supports the Z3 Compact no probs (well it will on launch in November)
Don't normally spend much on phones but remote play on this could be better than vita because of being able to use an actually controller
Seriously...google Xperia care before considering this. I bought the z1 compact. Loved it, it broke, and Sony have messed me round since February, and still no working phone....
Z3 Compact is nowhere near as good as good as the Z1 Compact - Or so I keep trying to convince myself as the owner of a 3 month old Z1 Compact.
Sony have been a bit daft making it 4.7", barely smaller than the Z3's 5.2" - I'd rather go for the Z3 as 4.7" is too big to be Compact so might as well go the whole way and get a Phablet! Z3 has better accessory support, for example it supports the wireless charging case which the Z3 Compact doesn't.

I didn't even know that there's a Z3 compact! I have the Z1 compact and it's the best phone I've ever had. Once I'm out of contract, I really can't see me having any need to upgrade it for a long time.
And don't be fooled by the "compact" name - personally I think this is the perfect size and is basically the same size as an iPhone.

If you think the money is to reimburse the development of the "special custom chips" just look at the relatively huge complexity of any £35 PC motherboard.
Your gonna love Iphone prices ;)
