    Slightly off topic but are there any opinions on what phone has the
    Best camera, as that would swing my buying choices . :)

    I thought his phone in QoS was more then good enough. High res pics of people from long distance, tech ahead of its time :D

    :)) It did seem to have one hell of a zoom on it. :D

    The Nokia Lumia 1020 has an impressive camera with 41 megapixels and a Zeiss lens.

    So do we actually know or have any kind of idea what Bond's phone will be in Spectre? Sony obviously but will it be a new model?
  • MrZarebaMrZareba Krakow, PolandPosts: 1,775MI6 Agent
    Yes, the XPERIA Z4. It leaked in the SONY hack mails that it will be provided (or was already) to the set. That's not a surprise since it's the next flagship model - and Bond was always using those. The only thing that remains a secret is the colour of the phone - I loved the silver k800i, the Titanium C902 was maybe even better because it was kind of the same colour as the Aston Martin DBS. The XPERIA T is a great phone but the silver/black colour combination was not exactly something I liked, I'd prefer it rather full silver. So I hope they will make the new Bond phone, for example, full gunmetal silver, it's a colour that really suits Bond's character.

    Oh ****... I was really hoping it will not be the Z4 because it's seriously not very different from the previous three Z phones (it was unveiled 2 days ago in Japan already). I hoped he will have the Z5 which is rumoured to have a fingerprint scanner built in the power button, along with a new design, full metal body, better screen etc. :/

    Damn it!

    I'm thinking Sony is hoping this will drum up business since the industry is questioning why they even released the Z4 since it isn't much of a change form the previous versions.

    That article doesn't sound right to me. I can't imagine Sony paying DC to use the phone on screen. I would imagine that Sony paid Eon to have DC use the phone on screen. If DC is seen using the phone in his personal life or does an ad for Sony, that's one thing, but I can't imagine him personally getting paid all that money for his character to use it.

    Let's hope they will use the new Z5. It doesn't make any sense really - by the end of november the Z4 will be already a pretty old model, since they want to realease the Z5 in December.

    I have read here http://jbsuits.com/blog/daniel-craig-turned-5-million-product-placement-deal-of-sony-phone that Sony offered Daniel Craig $5 Million for holding Xperia Z4 but then he and director saying rejected saying that saying that phone isn't enough cool for James Bond, it is just a CRAP!
  • JagJag Posts: 1,167MI6 Agent
    I don't think phone screens normally break for no reason, they break if you smash them! I have a Z2, my second Xperia phone, and have not had any issues.

    Hopefully Daniel Craig hasn't turned down the 5 million, and Z5 maybe the phone used by him. I Just love Sony Xperia phones so much that I can't buy a phone from another company. like if Bond used Samsung I would really feel bad.

    There are claims that the XPERIA in this movie might be a modified model made just for the movie... Will see.

    This is how I feel about Apple products. I love the iPad and my iPhone.
    After CR and QOS I bought a Sony VAIO laptop and never really warmed to it.
    I am not gonna do that with a phone. Deffo stick to Apple.

    Bear in mind that iPhones are almost in every other movie and a hell lot of people are using them. Bond was never using popular stuff, he's Bond, he needs something above that. If that's not the case he should be wearing Ralph Lauren polos, Ray-Ban Wayfarers and drink Starbucks coffee.

    VAIO's were way more powerful then MacBooks by the way, that was the main reason why I never bought one.

    I agree. Bond would never use an Apple product because they aren't as customisable as other products. Even if Bond's phone doesn't do something special, it would probably have special software security features. An Apple phone wouldn't be a good choice.

    An iPhone might not be the best but it's safer than Android:

    It would be interesting to know what platform SIS actually do use.
  • martinimartini Posts: 289MI6 Agent
    Many still use blackberry devices.

    The safest phone would be a non-smartphone.

    Bond used an heavily modified iPhone in the novel Carte Blanche.

    The XPERIA Z5 was presented without a single word about Bond or "Spectre". Last time SONY unveiled Bond's phone in the upcoming movie they did it in September at IFA - which was today. Which makes me wonder - are they preparing something special? Like a special, made just for Bond, model called XPERIA JB or something like that? :D (that would be actually I nice nod to "Tomorrow Never Dies").
  • Hart008Hart008 Posts: 710MI6 Agent
    @Zareba So the Z5 has already been released? And no word about it regarding Spectre? Wow interesting - cant wait to see which phone he uses
    Yes i did ride the CAT

    Hopefully its a Bond only model, or they could scrap the idea of bond using a phone in the movie .... That would be a dissapointment
