Knowing that any fixed memory will be already filled to the brim with bloatware and irremovable demos for stuff you'd never dream of using, that means no memory left for the user... A pity, because it looked good on paper (especially at this price range), but what use is a smartphone with a good camera without enough storage memory?

I agree the screen is big but so are those of pretty much all competitors that El Reg calls phones.
I would actually love if someone came out with a phone with 18:9 or 21:9 display ratio in the same form factor as my old Sony Xperia Ray - call it 53mm wide for about a 4.4 screen size.
