Seems like the Z1's are tearing apart topic

As soon as I got my Z1 I started hanging out in the Z1 section on XDA and I have noticed quite a few people with problems like the flaps falling off or the phone being water damaged. My friend got his Z1 about 2 weeks ago, he's not really a tech guy and only uses his phone for Facebook texts and calling but yesterday his phone just shut off for no reason on 82% and couldn't for the life of him start the phone up so he called me and I just randomly suggested for him to hold the power and volume up button for 10 seconds whilst having the phone connected to a charger and voila it worked.

What I am trying to say is that it feels like the Z1 has quite a few flaws, software as well as the hardware.

Don't get me wrong, I still love my Z1 and wouldn't trade for any other phone right now.

Really disappointed with the Z1S. topic

I'm coming from an S3 so why does everything about this phone feel so dated? Design wise this phone is huge and clunky, I don't know what they were thinking...it doesn't feel comfortable in the hand at all. The UI/firmware is weak too. My old S3 had a lot more options to make things easier and faster going through my phone. The Z1S's UI is too basic and boring. It doesn't have a menu button and it doesn't have an option to add apps onto your lockscreen.

The screen is also underwhelming...my brother's HTC One gives off a sharper image while the Z1S has washed out colors. The camera is also worse than I thought...especially since it was touted as being better than most...every picture I take has a grainy effect and doesn't come close to my brother's phone, it's a joke. There are a couple of things I do like about it...it has great signal strength and the battery does last a good while. Overall, it's just a dated experience...even more dated than my S3.
