For those who now have this phone, is the lock screen the exact same as it was on the previous Z's? That is, does it show the time and date in the center and battery percentage in the top right corner of the black screen when it's awakened?
It's a circle (not monochromatic either!) that has the battery % at the top, a blue ring (also battery % based), with the large time with date below it.
If you have the notifications turned on, they show below the circle, and you can perform actions on them such as reply/dismiss.
Honestly, that was one of the few features that I really longed for after I switched from Windows Phone.
