I'm likely going to get Z tomorrow, how do I tell which screen it has and which ones are good?

It looks like memory is handled differently to on TX then.
Could you show us a shot of Settings > Storage ?
What do you think?

I think it looks like apps are now installed straight to the internal memory judging by those screen shots so there's no need to move apps now.

Thats EXACTLY how memory is handled in JB, Samsung built the GS3 the same way even on ICS, I wondered why as both it and my GS2 were on ICS4.0.4 when I got it, I then discovered that Google changed how Android handles memory.
This could explain why Samsung kept delaying the GS2 JB update, and it could partly be the reason why Sony are taking forever to update the 2012 range, the update to JB isn't so smooth for manufacturers.

One thing I genuinely don't understand about Sony is when they have a minority of devices with an inferior screen, why send that one to reviewers? It also results in inconsistent reviews are arguments between others later. The majority of devices according to an XDA poll are Sharp displays (the better one), which the oppo 5 and butterfly both use, shown by their near identical contrast ratios according to that test.

Wouldn't explain why some reviews said the screen was amazing (or their definition of amazing - over-saturated displays with viewing angles so the entire world can see who they are texting [not that this is necessarily true for the Sharp display, I'm simply defining 'amazing' as they do]) as the ones with the Sharp display are. It means they got the 'better' version.
The same happened with the T/TX. Mixed reviews on the screen. Some praised its viewing angles and said it had deep blacks, others the opposite. All thanks to Sony not sending the best devices to the reviewers. I know it's usually only the first few devices which ever have the problem, but still, that's when phones are rated and the reputation of the phone builds.

It's not overpriced, and I'm not worried. My comments were about reviews of inferior screens influencing thousands of people to not buy it. I already have a phone I'm content with. The Z beats the N4 in every way, but I'm happy to wait for next year.
