One of major differences is that Japanese model has One Seg tv tuner and IR blaster installed. LTE bands are, however, limited to local bands only, so it is not global LTE you can find in models outside of japan.
and btw, it would be available here on Feb 9th, so I guess it will be debut on home turf.
Would like to know what's one seg? I thought it was just an apk bloatware or something lol

You can watch TV on your phone if it supports 1seg, but that's something only Japan has

For a special network, yes. Completely useless outside Japan.
Did a research lol! And yes it's a tv tuner and what's great was I found the info on a review of HTC Butterfly J
Anyways it's available only on Japan, Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru so yeah pretty useless.
But just wondering they all keep saying the devices have the same hardware. So would that mean that even the global Xperia Z has the capabilities of infrared blaster and 1seg but is just disabled?
Japan has a totally different 2G network and seems other network also different...
Wouldn't the network band be altered just by flashing a baseband from another variant?
Even though the Japanese Z seems to have 'extra' features, remember however that since they wont be available outside Japan, development will be very limited, if any. The safest bet would be to go for an 'International' version with an unlocked bootloader.

Well, I am seriously considering getting this phone here in Japan; but I would like to be able to root and flash AOSP as I have done with my Galaxy Nexus, which is the Japanese variant.
I'm looking forward to unlocked bootloaders and AOSP ROMs
Japan has no GSM, it has WCDMA, cdma2000-1x, and LTE as well as an almost totally dead 2G network called PDC.
Japanese one-seg tuners may be able to physically receive south american signals but they can't decode them due to different encodings on the streams. ISDB-T is used in japan. Elsewhere uses a slight variant called ISDB-Tb.
Japanese XZ is supposed to be quad band GSM, triband WCDMA and hexa-band LTE-FDD vs I believe penta-band WCDMA elsewhere.
It's fast!

the international i9000 doesn't have 3g 850 (it has 900 instead of 850). Also, the digital tv thing will only work in brazil due to their tv infrastructure (from what I've heard).

Sorry if I sound harsh, but it annoys me when people don't take the time to actually read what a posts says. 3G! not 2G!
And if you're wondering why anyone cares about 3G 850 is because AT&T uses it among other carriers.

I think the DTV specs are different between Brazil and Korea. Korea uses DVB-H, while Brazil uses some wierd standard called ISDB-T.

Korean version has 2 languages, Korean and English. I use English about 98% of the time, I'll flip it over to Korean for voice search in Korean (I really think I shouldn't have to do that, but that's Android) and for my friends to play around with.

IPhone goes for similar prices, it's due to three things, last just being a rumor:
taxes
*competition/market size for high end phones @1000 you wont have many *customers (percentage of population-wise), adding an extra 400 won't cost you that many but will raise your profitability by a lot
*bundled services (rumor)
Maybe the needed hardware (except the antenna... obviously) is already in the rests of galaxy s's? Someone has compared the disassembly of both versions? Maybe it can be activated some day lol
If it's in there, hope it is dvb-h (i'm in europe)
this price is not uncommon at all here in brazil. All no-contract phones goes around 1000 US$.
I have tested the brazilian galaxy s and tv reception is fantastic. Worked flawlessly inside a shopping center.
Here in Argentina either. I bought my unlocked SGS (european version) for 900 bucks.
hello, i just bought a week ago and htc g2/ vision, had it unlocked so i can have another sim card thats not tmobiles in.
i live in el salvador and my carrier is tigo and calls are perfectly fine and all but data connections are only edge! and i have no idea why??? i also have a x10 mini and i use the same apn and it connects to 3g
anyone know why and how to fix it?

Did you check to make sure what GSM frequencies the carrier uses (sorry not familiar with El Salvador)? This sounds very similar to people trying to use G2's on AT&T / iPhones on T-mobile. Not all GSM carriers use the same frequencies for their service. If voice is working, but 3G data is not, this is very likely the issue. For example, AT&T operates both 2g and 3g on 850/1900, whereas T-mobile operates 2g on 850/1900 and 3G on 1700/2100; hence why voice and Edge can work, but 3G cannot.
Poking around a little, the X10 mini world phone version has an 850/900/1800/1900 for edge and 1900/2100 frequency radio for 3G data connection, although there are AT&T versions with slightly different bands too, which you may have I'm not sure.
The G2 runs on T-mobile in the US and has a 850/900/1800/1900 for edge and 1700/2100 radio for 3G data.
All according to Wikipedia from what I can scrounge up right now.
BTW I feel proud that I did this research lol. Enlightening.
I think tigo is at 850, is there anything I can do at this point?

If Tigo doesn't run 1700/2100 3g, there isn't anything you can do short of selling your G2 and buying a European Desire Z (same as G2) with the proper frequencies assuming you want the same type of phone. Shoulda checked this out lol just cuz it has a SIM slot doesn't mean it "just works" haha. sorry!

Well the USA, Canada, and Euro ones all have different bands, depending on the carriers they are generally made for. The issue with the Euro ones can be that they don't come with English out of the box either

I believe that the Canadian/European Desire Z is the world phone edition which carries band support for all GSM bands. It is the USA T-Mobile G2 that carries support for the GSM bands specifically for the US market. Correct me if I am wrong.

Apparently 6603 will have problems with LTE and 3G networks here, hence why the Z is not coming to Canada.

I'm on Rogers currently, but will be switching to Telus next month.
Hopefully they work well too.
I am considering the 6602 model if that works flawlessly here as I do not care about LTE that much, though would prefer 6603 if it actually works well.
Hspa+ should work fine on Telus on 850 MHz but lte not.
Related to 02 version, imo, it's not worthwhile, I'd wait for the rumored 6606 supporting aws.

So did you just mean it is a hardware problem? Perhaps the iphones support TD themselves. But in my view, MSM8974 of Snapdragon Series should support all kinds of LTE as what they peacock before, I don't know whether there is someone really good on "unlocking" the ability of that.

Big changes:
-aluminum frame replaced by chrome plastic frame
-No microsd support, default 32GB storage in device
-Different placement of headphone jack
Internals are all the same. This is believed to be the Z1s 'refresh' that people were talking about being released. Looks like an inferior version of the current Z1, albeit a little bit lighter.
The most important thing is support for LTE-TDD I think as I can't open the link now.
And another why you guys focus on the Z1's follower, at least SoC or some more important things added like nexus 5's Senors batch access. Other small change not a big deal for sell the phone in your hand and get a new one.If Sony begin the rule in world like in Japan, the phone will refresh 3 months, and what, told yourself I must get the new one?
Sorry for the last part but can't stand for some guys wish to ruin such a good phone.
it is just a variant rather than "updated" Z1. it is almost identical with just minor changes rather than improvements.
This is just the China Mobile variant of the Z1, nothing more. China Unicom's version was the L39, this will be the L39t. China Mobile runs their own proprietary version of CDMA and this device will be compatible with their TD-LTE bands. If you live in China that's a great thing, outside of China this will only work on 3G bands.
