No... its just an early version of the AT&T model. Whats funny is my current R800x model build is 18th week of 2011, this AT&T model is 11th week of 2011, so despite AT&T coming out 4 months after VZ... this ones older then my current R800x.

For starters it doesn't have AT&T branding but is a preproduction model of AT&T. Bootloader is unlocked.

Nice catch I would love to not have ATT on the back (of the one I havent bought yet..)
Seller emailed m some photos, showing AT&T on the screen, boot up and so forth. So it does use AT&T but none of the AT&T branding (thank God) and best part... bootloader unlocked.
So the guy emailed me and said that he checked and the decice bootloader is locked. So I went to the SOny unlock site and typed in the phones IMEI and it gave me the unlock code.
It may be because this is a pre-production model but it is AT&T and Sony's site gave me an unlock code in my gmail... would anyone with an AT&T Xperia PLAY be willing to take a look at the sony unlock site and see if they are unlocking AT&T phones?

Yeah well, the guy emailed me informing me he shipped it, but that he checked again and now he's not sure if its unlocked or not. The fact its a preproduction model should be unlocked. I will have it by Friday, so I will take a look. If it is locked I have the code now. I'll update this thread on whether its locked or unlocked when I get it.
Sony gives the unlock key, but if you can't enter fastboot mode, its not of any use.

Yes, I am aware that if fastboot mode is locked out the key is no good. However this is a very early model, manufactured 8th week of 2011 and it has no AT&T branding, despite having AT&T firmware. Plus as it is a prototype then it should be completely unlocked as it would need to be for beta testing.

As I have received several emails asking if the prototype has HDMI out, from what I can gather of the pictures I uploaded (Post 8) it does not have HDMI... I will be recieving it tomorrow and will post my thoughts on it but again according to the photos, no HDMI.... and for the record I am not expecting it too....
Phone arrived today Bootloader was unlocked but it was not sim unlocked, guess AT&T didnt want beta testers using it on T-Mobile. Paid $7 to unlock sim and am now running NXT lite and I am amazed at how many choices/options GSM users have over CDMA users..... its nuts..
Now I just have to wait until my contract with VZ is done in 3 weeks.
What are the benefits over a GSM device to a CDMA one then? If you already had an Xperia Play why did you need a new one?
Gotta admit, that HDMI port would've been nice...
There is no HDMI port on this play. The reason I bought the new play is because I will be moving from Verizon to T-Mobile. And Verizon play wont work on tmo

Do you mean the R800i unlocked or R800at unlocked. Either way they are sim unlocked only, not bootloader unlocked. You can't unlock the bootloader of the R800at from Sony website because it can't get into fastboot mode, however the R800i is possible.

No I bought mine from a sony store and it was apparently branded Rogers but I've debranded since with generic fw. But from everything I've read the r800a's were mostly carrier specific in those part of the world but maybe I'm wrong, and plus if you got it direct from a google io then I would hope it was debranded and unlocked cause Howe do they know what carrier you on?

Just noticed that Wotan is now unlocking you bootloader and sim for 7.99 EUR ($10.53)
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/se/xperia-play-r800/unlock-tool/debranding-flash
As I am planning on buying a R800at in the next couple months I checked out Wotan and saw that it supports the following models
R800, R800a, R800at, R800i
Anyways, just sharing.
There is a downloaded unlock tool. It is essentially Teamviewer with some extra features so that your phone will be unlocked. Simply download and install the executable file to your PC, and sign in or create an account. Included in the program is a video tutorial on what to do
Very easy to use I recently unlocked with them but it was 7.99 GBP

You know what, I apologize it is in EUR not US dollars. My apologies. I will fix the title and first post. Dont know why I was seeing US dollars..... lol
I think you should recheck with them, for the R800at I think it only unlock sim, even though they said it include unlocking bootloader, I think it applies to the R800i only.

I emailed Wotan Server asking to confirm that the R800at (AT&T) xperia play is supported for full bootloader & sim unlock. I will report back with the details once they reply.
I just received an email back from Wotan server
" Hello,
yes it's true, we are not aware of any problems, if you have a supported phone (with a manufacturing date earlier than 12W11). Please see details at http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/se/xperia-play-r800/unlock-tool/debranding-flash

So I guess whenever I do look inti buying a R800at ivwill have to buy used as I was hoping to get a new one for about $150. Used the seller could tell me the number. Is this number on the white sticker?
Edit: My current R800x has a date of 11W19. What does that mean? Obviously I am guessing a date of when it was manufactured.....

Thank you so much, I recently got a R800at after upgrading from a R800x due to the GSM support and soon afterwards realized I couldn't unlock the bootloader myself like I did with my R800x.. I was looking into Wotan but was worried my device wouldn't be supported, after creating a test cable and trying other software that was free and failing I was even more worried. But this post convinced me to try it out.
Hi
I've just received one of the Razr I phones on offer from Three UK for £149 + £10 topup ordered online. People might like to know that the phone I received is an unbranded UK Retail model with 4.1.2 and UNLOCKED. I've tried it with Virgin, T-Mobile & Tesco SIMs and it works fine. Very pleased so far.

Yep, I received mine yesterday and the label on the Box and About Phone page shows it to be a normal UK Retail version and mine definitely wasn't SIM locked as in OP.

Thanks guys for the helpful (and fortunately positive) replies. Now I'm brave enough to turn the question by 180°:
is there anybody, whose device that has been bought from Three (especially Pay As You Go) was SIM-locked?
(I hope the thread's intensity becomes weaker).
funny enough yes. i bought one for my mrs today and after commenting only a few hours ago i thought i should try. so i put a giffgaff sim in it and it asked for unlock code??????
so i tryed with a EE sim and asked same again.
then i put the 3 sim back in got it all set up with google sync and apps etc and tryed again wigh sims and hey presto it worked????????
whats that all about?

I must've missed out on that as they're showing as £249.99 now. Shame really as I'm thinking about moving from GG to Three.
Instead I've picked up one from the Orange ebay store (£169.99 with £20 credit included). Seems like unlock codes can be picked up cheaply enough too - here's hoping the Orange branding isn't overboard.

Hi, I had to do the same, because my UK contact was late by one day (she could go for the phone on 1st Aug 2013, offer ended at 31st July...), so I've ordered from Play.com with free Pillips BT speaker (http://www.play.com/stores/ChitterChatter/listing/828995144). +10Ł & Locked, but still satisfactory offer. When do you get yours? I've never thought of Orange branding... can it be disturbing?
And from where do you buy trustworthy unlock code? I'll need sth like that, too!
I bought mine from the "official" Orange UK eBay store - which is run by ChitterChatter, the same company in your play.com link. I'm hoping it gets delivered at some point this week.
There's quite a few sellers advertising an XT890 unlock on ebay for less than £10, so it seems pretty straight forward to get the handset unlocked.
Looking into people who bought the RAZR i last time Orange sold them for this price, the handsets themselves don't have any Orange branding. Usually, Orange really go over the top with their branding so it's nice to know these won't have that problem.
Three raised there price to £249.99 a day after I bought mine for £149.99 :') guess I was lucku

I was into the Bell store on Monday (May 12th) and I asked if it were possible to unlock the bootloader. The rep didn't know offhand. But he pulled a phone from the inventory, booted it up for me then let me enter the code to enter the service menu *#*#7378423#*#* and check.
Apparently the version they sell in the Bell store (at least in Nova Scotia, can't speak for the rest of Canada) does not allow you to unlock the bootloader (it says bootloader unlock allowed: No). So if you're looking to buy the Xperia Z2 from Bell and you live in Nova Scotia... Be aware of this.
(I haven't heard any other sources in Canada confirm or deny that it was possible to unlock the bootloader though.)
I'm not sure if the Sony store has their version yet for sale or whether or not it'll be possible to unlock either. (The Sony store website says that the phone is only taking pre-orders right now and that it's estimated to ship next month.)
I've bought today from Bell in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with 2-year contract and yes,the bootloader is locked too. But besides of that,great device!

Just to echo previous comments, I bought a Bell Xperia Z2 (D6053) and the bootloader's status is
"Bootloader Unlock Allowed = no"
I guess I'm going to have to return this; and grab it from Sony Store instead.

I REALLY like the phone, even without root. I think Sony did a lot of things right. Nothing was offensive, that I wanted to change it with Xposed modules. Still though, knowing that Sony's version has unlockable BL; I'll just pay outright. That's how willing I am to use this as a daily driver.
I got this phone 2 weeks ago and i love it! The only things are yes the BL is locked by Hell and the sound from the headphones and speakers are pretty low. There is a MOD to boost the volume like on the z1 but, it's only available on ROOT. Hopefully, the DEV's can find an exploit and be able to have ROOT on a locked BL like on the z1. Also, BTW Hell went cheap with the accessories, with some ****ty ear buds,not even in ear, and a usb cable and charger. Good thing i kept my magnetic charger cable from my Z1
Can anyone confirm that the unlocked version from the sony store has an unlockable bootloader?
