Not sure if anyone's mentioned, O2 are selling XPeria Play in the UK for £150 on a PAYG...
I don't want to change to O2, i'm happy with TMob/Orange network share, but I wouldn't mind this phone.
Anyone know if they are SIM-Free, branded and if so how easy they are to unlock/debrand?
Anyone know of any better deals?
Locked to O2 and no branding - only thing O2 i found was the internet settings/bookmarks installed - although these could've come form the o2 sim card i inserted when i bought the phone (not sure).
Chitter chatter deal is better. T-mobile but unlocked and unbranded. New stock should go live later in the week.
Consider that unlocking the bootloader (which unlocks sim too) costs about 18 pounds, SIM-free phones are not that valuable anymore. Just buy a SIM-locked one and unlock the bootloader with Alejandrissimo's help, or someone else's, and you'll have a SIM-unlocked, flashable phone for 168 pounds.

Or better, be smart and buy it from Argos Sim-Free at 179.99 and save all the time and effort.
i have a friend who's staying there for a 6-month vacation, she told me they're selling factory-unlocked XPlay for £200.. is it true? that's WAAAAAAAY less than half the price i bought my XPlay with 5 months ago!!!!!! i bought mine, if converted, for around £420!!!

Unlocking your bootloader with Alejandrissimo's method takes no more than twenty minutes, and his unlocking method doesn't break OTA updates nor DRM certificates.
Aww I paid £400 for mine in Littlewoods.
Just got one of these today, anyone give any help unlocking so it can be rooted ? Thanks

Take your finger out of your arse, give it a good lick and dig deeper the next time.
My local Argos was also out of stock. You need to ask them where their nearest store which stocks it is and you have to reserve the phone, which means that you are guaranteed for the phone.
Thinking of buying one of these from O2 and using it with my GiffGaff sim
I am not that interested in using it for games, but the other specifications look impressive, especially the large screen.
So can anyone tell me what they think of the Play just as a phone. Is it too bulky? What is the signal like?
Thanks
I think we could use a topic like similar ones.
How many people has it? Did you encounter any problems with your One and where did you buy it?
Darkhan total i brought 50 items none had complaint all had little line on gap very little 3 had headphone broken but they send it to Teleservice so all happy.
Mine were first batches but now i have bought another 5 from UK they seems much better build quality but i dont know which batch they sell at Turkcell
I bought from Turkcell, mine is perfect. They let me check the phone before I buy it.
I bought one on tuesday, but there were errors on microphone.
People couldnt hear me very well, sound was low and nor clear all the time.
I gave it back and waiting for a new unit.
This is my third phone this month,
I was using htc one x for a year, begining of this month I bought xperia z but i didnt like it and changed it to ONE.
I was missing my one x while using the Z, but one is really great

No luck about accessories yet. Noone knows they'll arrive.
But if you go Beyoğlu, check Turkcell Pera Mağaza.

I think price will still go down in a few weeks... demand of Z1 here in SG is just not that much... Note 3, iPhone 5s and to a certain extend LGG2 still sells more...
(secretly wishing the price goes way down, planning to get mine soon!)

i do hope sony will include the white balance setting in the display setting like the one on the xperia Z/ZL

I have the Blue one on O2 in the UK.
I have the Blue one - I'm from Denmark.
The blue one has only been shipped in small numbers to a select few stores, it should become available somewhere in the middle of May. The Gold one is not available yet and should see deliveries near the end of May.

Ah! They probably shipped a few of those to select markets as well, then. I don't actually have direct insight into the shipment files, I just go by what I know from providers and a few big companies.
I've had the blue one for a week now (O2 UK) I pre-ordered the day before the Black & white ones were being released as I got a good deal. I'm not sure why there was a delay cos as far as i can tell the only difference between the black & blue one is the back cover i.e. nothing else is blue on the phone. Ok the box has a blue bit on it.
the first thing I did was to put the phone in a Spigen Neo Hybrid case (which is really cool) so I can see any of the blue anyhow...
I own a gold one also black
I heard that the gold is a lie. There is no gold S5, it's fake, fraud - trolls!

I can't understand anything on chinese site.
For european user: I discovered that the only sony store who has the Xperia Z3 Dual is the polish one.
Waiting for a couple of weeks to see availability and I hope a price drop.
The Sony HK Online site has them however, they only accept orders from HK only.
If you want Dual, check EBay, since I do see some listings there.
Here's the user manual of Xperia Z3 Dual.

I ordered it come with charging dock DK48 about 5225 HKD ( 4200 CND )
Also available at offerbank now - ships to most places.
Order mine from never-msrp on eBay. Should be here within the next few days.
For anyone who has a D6633 can you confirm if it has Google framework/play and which region you purchased it in?
available in Saudi Arabia through this website www.z3preorder.com
for 2999 SR - Approx $800.00 US dollars
As mentioned in another thread, The port flaps of the d6633 on each side are the same size unlike the d6603. I actually placed my order with gsmnation for the d6603 but they send me the the d6633. Wtf.. Lol. Not a big deal cuz both will still work with the major us carriers and plan on using with one network.
Only issue is i'm expecting my z3 case to arrive soon that i had ordered for a d6603. There will problems with the case as the cut out on the left hand side was made for the smaller d6603 port and not the d6633. Thanks gsmnation lol!
So folks looking for cases for z3 in general, understand that the port cutouts of the cases need to be different for d6633 specifically since most are prob made for the d6603.

On the left side, the micro USB port is moved and will be on the same flap on right beside the micro SD, so the left side can hold the two SIMs.
It maybe problem, but not sure. I actually ordered for myself a Z3 case from Nillkin, so I will have to see how it is when I get it.
Z3 Dual unboxing can be seen below.
