Half of the thread is about backup DRM keys, reason why is lost somewhere.
I won't buy an Xperia X to run Android on, so I guess I can just drop this step.

Sony must remember that they are just another Android phone supplier of 13 in a dozen that momentarily just happens to have 1 device to run Salifish on and it was Android I am after in that price category, I would buy a Xiamo Mi5 or something similar that doesn't feature this DRM nonsense.

Now just waiting for a couple of reports about working modems in F5122 dual SIM / 64GB devices.
