I was hoping to go skiing but with the spring-like temperatures, I will have little choice but to enjoy the view (and take photos!)

The phone boasts dust and waterproofing (!) an excellent GPS 4G, compatible with all major standards a fast (for ARM) quad core processor healthy RAM an impressive camera and a razor sharp display. With 319 pixels per square inch, the screen is literally as good as printed paper-for fonts, more so, since RGBA anti-aliasing means the horizontal font resolution is more or less tripled. The screen’s brightness is good the colours are vivid. To top it all off: the Z3C only cost me £250 off Carphone Warehouse. It’s not bad for a smartphone of this calibre-not bad at all.
