Loving my Sony Xperia Z. Got soaked with rain on the dash of the bike while I was riding back from Maryborough, no problems very water resistant with all external ports sealed. Fell face down off the bike onto the bitumen, no worries very tough screen. Battery lasts for ages, 3 days + with normal usage, and it works seamlessly with my Interphone F5 bluetooth on my helmet, phone calls at 100kph+ perfectly clear and the bluetooth works very well for music. The phone is blue ticked (Telstra rural usage tick) and when we stayed at a small pub north of Bundy I had reception when others were struggling, this is important for me because I go to remote areas for work quite often.

I'm not getting paid by Sony but I've used and seen a lot of phones and this one has impressed me.

The young fella just got one after his Samsung Galaxy S3 fell 2 feet onto a table and the screen shattered, he was quoted over $250 to replace the screen so he cut his losses and gave up on it.

Nice one Bear. The Sony X was one of three choices for me - along with Gal S4 and HTC One - I realise my Gorillla Glass 3 may shatter easily - but seems there are plenty of protective covers one can use.

Looks like Jellybean version of Android is rock solid with bluetooth comms etc

I hadn't caught up with Gorilla glass shattering.  I knew it was virtually scratch-proof. 
I have a case for mine which will help a bit I guess, if I drop it.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

My S3 has JellyBean 4.1.2... with my issues. I recommend you try it out with any required device before you buy if possible.... or wait a few months to see what appears in the forums.
