About time, I use Siri with my headset, and it works great. If only Google Now would work as well as I hoped then I wouldn't have to use Siri. It's nice to know California is up on the times though.

No, just no. Apple has made "iPod" a household name, and with those prices, you can get A LOT more out of an iPod. Or better yet... an Android phone with data. It is quite pointless for Sony to release these when cell phones can do this, PLUS a lot more.

Now it will only take Verizon about 3-9 more months to "allow" the update to be pushed to their device. Pathetic.

Not worth it. As soon as you put a case on it... It's hidden.

That would be an AMAZING phone. I love BlackBerry's keyboards. Hands down the best overall typing experience I have ever had on a phone. If they made a phone similar to the 9930 Bold BUT with Android 4.1, I would be the first in line to buy it full retail. I really hope they see the light.

I still buy CD's, I like actually supporting artists, and not giving most of my money to server up-time, content hosting, file conversion, DRM licencing... I like going to concerts, giving the artist (directly mind you) $10 and having an autographed CD and appreciation from the band. Much more rewarding that way.

I was using the 6/18 build of CM9 for my GNex but I had to upgrade due to a boo-boo I made... BUT it was running fine. I think the longest I went with a single ROM was with my Droid Incredible, I was using a RC for about 3-4 months and it never seemed to slow down. MIUI on the other hand... will last me about 4 days, then it lags horribly.

It's nice to know that Verizon has spawned a whole new breed of Phreaks because they were forced to root and flash their phones just to get it to work! Don't wait for Verizon to do what Google has done MONTHS ago, just get a toolkit, and install Rom Manager. Apply updates when you want to!

I probably won't get it right away, I may wait and see if anyone is using it, I don't want Facebook sub-app for every function that should already be in the main app. What will be next? A dedicated "poke" app to give you the edge on poke-wars?!

I blame Verizon, they are probably the ones holding everything up just like usual!

I got 9 out of 10 correct... but I also went to school for photography so I may have a bit of an advantage. An easy way to spot differences is chromatic aberration (where the edges of an object in the foreground has an unnatural color against a brighter background), extremely blown out highlights, an almost "HDR" look (assuming no post was done) among some other details. They aren't quite there yet for this test to be accurate and impressive. The one MAJOR difference is control. I have little to no control of the settings on my iPhone (or even my GNex), so until they have a point where I can change the aperture and/or shutter speed manually, then I will be impressed.

"and a 1700mAh battery." Seriously?! Why hasn't anyone learned from the RAZR MAXX?! You'll be lucky to get 6 hours of use on this with the stock ROM, and maybe 9 hours with a custom one. I had the original DInc and I loved it, HTC is letting us down, once again.

My one guess is MIUI!!! (I know MIUI is a ROM, but it feels nothing like Android)

Fix the antennas in your devices and maybe you can accomplish that goal. I'm SO sick of always losing 4G (then having weak 3G) when I seem to need it most.
