Well… back from vacation with the Sony fully loaded with all my regular apps (and a few more), and even my partner was impressed. So all kudos to the team as getting her approval for anything is always a tough call. 
Received its first update (5.5) yesterday and everything’s cool so has now taken the daily driver spot from my S/f OS, XA2, which I will keep as a standby just in case.
Got an XZ2 and an XA3 here (another mad buy I made by the pool), that could well be candidates for conversion next as well as the pink XA2 I’ve already mentioned on here in an earlier post. Was thinking of keeping the XA3 but it just doesn’t have the style of the XA2, so it will most likely be up on ebay in the not too distant future. Not sure about the XA2 Ultra I also bought on holiday as it might sell easier with Gandroid but might just flash it anyway.
