Hi @Anonymous ,

Once we get some more info on tariffs/deals, myself or my colleague Chris will provide an update.

What features are you most excited about? Its a lovely looking thing

I was genuinely speechless at the quality of the screen. Stuck one of the demo videos on and just giggled. Cant wait.

Seems odd that business preorders still havent got out of "register for updates on preorders" less than 2 weeks before launch?

Should've been around for the note 4 launch.
Fun times.

Honestly Chris, Sony better have something amazing up their sleeve or I could quite honestly say my next phone will be a Samsung.
This is advancement, it is innovation and it is amazingly beautiful.
The screen and camera tech are major for me and I take a LOT of pics, sound is a downgrade as i enjoy stereo sound and the quality of the Walkmans latest technology.
