Sony Xperia Z1 Compact - Does anybody have one?

So the new phone from Sony has been getting rave reviews for its high spec small phone combination that has been missing from Android:

Does anyone have one? I am sceptical of Sony phones so would like to hear feedback as I am quite tempted by one.

    Yeah, I got mine about two weeks ago, and I can say it`s the best phone I`ve looked at . it`s very fast processor, unbelievable camera and very handy size make it a perfect phone in my opinion. It`s water proof , but tbh I haven`t put it into a bowl of water to fully check, but all the ports have covers that seem to be fully sealed. Battery life is far better than I expected, a couple of days for me which is better than my old phone. Xperia lounge is ready installed so competitions and updates are available as a vip member . I can`t recommend this phone too much , in my opinion the best phone around now.

    Thanks!

    If you don't mind me asking, what did you have before this? Did the size a major factor in your purchase?

    I had a HTC desire S , and I must say I know the desire is an older phone but the xperia Z1 is a million times better.The size was the final say in getting the phone as the Z1 was too big for my liking and my pockets.

    I have the Z1 the best phone ever in my opinion (in my household we have a iPhone 5S and S4 so tried them all), the Z1 beats them all hollow. The smaller size is only another plus
