    You're outraged that Sony made a phone called the Z3?

    So they made Z, Z1, and Z2 respectively. Why not Z3? They can even make it up to Z10 eventually.

    Tempting. Z3 supports AWS, Z30 doesn't it looks like... Quad core 2.5 versus dual core 1.7. 3GB ram versus 2Gb ram. And on board 32GB versus 16GB.

    ... It's actually tempting. and with my Z10's all starting to die from the blue screen of hardware failure death around the same time, it's awfully attractive.

    Dumb naming idea. But actually an alright looking phone.

    Edit: Looks like there is a Z30 working in AWS. Dunno if I want the android z3, BlackBerry z30 or the passport ...gah. Decisions.

    I have a Z3, a Z10, and a pair of Z30s . . . but I do not care.

    So all are in agreement, the Sony Z3 is a better phone internally than the BlackBerry Z3?

    Not outraged, shocked, never knew they had a Z series. Reminds of the recent national elections, the new kid decided to use the same acronym as the ruling party, including the party colours. They got a fair number of votes for a party that didn't campaign (case of mistaken identity on voters side.)
    I just wonder, could that not happen here...
    Your point with the Link eludes me.

    You never knew Sony had Z series phones? What did you think the names of their phones have been the past couple years?

    Well... you're doubling the resolution. Moving from dual 1.5 cpu to quad 2.5. adding 1 GB of ram and doubling device storage... with about a 10 percent higher battery, and 1.5x camera.

    I'd say yes, the Sony Z3 has a few specs above the Z30... and the passport.

    Unfortunately though the majority of purchasers disagree with you... As a developer I don't really get the option of standing by only one platform - I need to be into all of them or I'll starve to death . If BBRY had a larger market share I might be able to survive off them. But it just ain't there yet, and with Alec gone, they have been closing a lot of the indie developer opportunities.

    Yeah man, screw Sony, they should've jumped to Z4, because we already have an underwhelming device called Z3 and a unique and mysterious pattern in naming (Z10 < Z30 < Z3. Q10 < Q5 < Passport < Classic).

    I opted to buy a couple Passports...

    ... but slightly concerned after the Z10's we had both failed, my Q10 has phantom keyboard stuck letter issues. And I've had my share of PlayBook and Curve failures in the past.

    Hoping for a change in experience this time.

    I'm sorry, I was mistaken. BB's Z3 is far been than Sony's.

    Imo the name BlackBerry z30 and q10 naming scheme is pretty stupid. They should stick to a name like the passport or classic and then go off with the next gen model as passport 2 or classic 2 instead of having a confusing naming scheme

    Sony uses a lot of alphabets for Xperia smart phones . . . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Xperia .

    BlackBerry used to use 4 digit model numbers together with nicknames such as Bold, Storm, and Torch for legacy OS devices.
