quite cheap, mind u that Touch Pro is around USD 945 here

I heard some rumors the with contract in UK it might go as low as 299. So if T-mobile us picks this up (*prays*) it should only be around $399-499.

Eeerrghhh, I really doubt it... I'll be crossing my fingers for you, but I don't see any US carrier taking this subsidized.

I was just in an ATT store this morning.. and the guy told me they had a conference meeting... in that meeting this information was passed on: Xperia phone will not be one added as subsidized phone.. however they will sell it.. at a date undisclosed.. but it will be full unlocked price they say. so im assuming 800-900 is what we're looking at.

Yep, and given that for $741 USD you can get it in Switzerland/Germany, there's no way I'm forking out over $800 for it.

Seems that in the netherlands they list it for €590 (us$815)
I always hate it when a device is more expensive in specific regions

mobicity and smoothmobiles.com.au both have them now.
mobicity- $899
smoothmobiles- $895
im not sure whether to get one or not, its a extremly hefty price. i was planning on getting a normal galaxy S again, ( other died, no warranty cause i bought it 2nd hand and the owner is not here no more ) so i was going to get a brand new one
not sure what to do now.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to buy one me thinks - I'm addicted to my SGS and an upgrade will be awesome

Techrific has it for $889

Big bump.
So the Australian release will be around June, you guys going to get it now or what?
If its on the Optus $59 I will, if its on the $79 its too much imo, I'd rather get the Arc

I'm selling my iPhone 4 and will just buy it outright from uk, Australia is just such a ripp off.
I'm half way through my contract with optus so, I sell my iPhone for $700 and the gs2 was $724 so for $24 dollars I have upgraded. to top it of when my contract runs out I'll get the sgs3 lol yayyyyyy

Yeah replacing my Atrix with my SG2 which will hopefully be here by Friday. Ordered from Handtec as i didn't wanna get ripped off by Aus online resellers lol

Hey guys, who's getting their SGSII from where?
How much did/will it cost you (in AU$)
Is it NextG?
Which processor?
NFC?

Anyone here ordered a UK versrion of the sgs2? I take it ill have to get an adapter for the charger considering the sockets are different?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

I bought from Mobicity, $900 (yay for disposable income). It says NextG compatible, no NFC and with the Samsung CPU (not NVIDIA Tegra 2)

hmmm.... I might get one from expansys.... will probably wait until next week and scope out a few other places as well.
I was upset that it won't have NFC because I believe NFC will become common use in everyday life sometime soon.... but after a bit of research I think NFC will be more commonly built into sim cards instead of phones themselves, so it's not so much an issue for me now. Also it's probably not going to hit mainstream until after the London Olympics by which time I'll have a new phone anyway.

handtec, price was AUD $700, i don't care about NFC, it is gonna be switched off constantly anyways, don't think it will get popular soon

Where to buy
Hey guys,
I've been doing some research on where to buy, I'm listing them in cost order, cheapest first. If I've missed out on a site, let me know.
If there is any reason why you wouldn't buy from the cheapest, please let me know.
I've never bought a phone online before and I'm kinda anxious about it.
I've gone as far in the checkout as I can, and prices include shipping to Melbourne, the cheapest option (no more than 7 working days).
Not VAT. Is that correct?
Currency conversions using Google on 4/05.
Unlocked Mobiles £435 $663
Handtec £456 $695
Clove £464 $707
Expansys $720
Mobiciti$914
Smooth Mobiles $924
So the cheapest is from Unlocked Mobiles, and the cheapest Australian store is Expansys.
Which store are you going to buy from, and why?
!!!!!!! I had it all nicely formatted, and the name of each site was a direct link to that website's listing for the SGSII.
But I can't post links.
Spent ages typing it up too...

my DHL online tracking still says Departed Facility in LONDON-HEATHROW - UK, same as 30 hrs ago... hm..... hope i can get it tomorrow

Newegg.com or amazon have it.
The cheapest is probably expansys-usa.com They usually have a $10 off coupon, I think there still might be one. Making the total price $650.
Try LSJULY10 for July.

got it for 160€ at 3 (Provider) with a 18months contact
(20€: 1000text/1000min tel, unlimited internet + about 30 channels mobile tv)
all costs together it costs mi 520€ (exerything included).

Handtech, from the UK. That way I have a UK warranty if anything goes wrong ;-) was like 660$ including shipping. Americans don't pay "VAT".

Xperia Z has been discontinued in Japan

The ZR (sold as the A domestically) has so dominated Docomo's summer sales so far (and outselling the S4 2 to 1) that the Z has entirely disappeared from the current offerings on their website:
http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/product/smart_phone/index.html
At the moment you can still order one but after the stock they have is gone I wouldn't expect any more (same thing happened to Galaxy Nexus on Docomo - very early discontinuation).

Thanks. I am spending my holidays in Tokyo and Kyoto and that explain why they keep to tell me in that this version is sold out. (hodobashis and bic cameras)
My galaxy SII just broke up, seems to be the mother board.
Anyway, Japan is the worst place in the world to buy a phone without contract at a cheap price.

That's terrible!
Contract phones is an awful concept. Imagine you would have to sign an internet contract when buying a PC. Or having to sign a contract with an electricity supplier when buying a washing machine. That would be insane, right?
Here in Belgium, simlocks are illegal and selling phones together with a contract too. Unfortunately, in 2009, the Court of Justice of the E.U. ruled that the ban of contract phones was contrary to E.U. law, so now they're selling them too over here (without a simlock nevertheless), but most people still buy a contractless phone anyway.

At release € 649, now € 549.
But our subscriptions aren't very expensive. I'm with the best (and also most expensive) mobile operator of the country and I currently use a prepaid plan which includes 2 GB of data (incl. 4G), 10000 SMS messages and 10 MB data roaming (cumulative to 100 MB) per month for every reload of minimum € 20. Calling is € 0.25 / min, so you can call 80 min with € 20. This plan is mainly for people who use a lot of data. There are other plans for people who call more.
Do you have a contract phone perhaps? How much do you pay?

Well I guess that's the difference between Poland and Belgium... If you don't believe me, you can check for yourself, these are the big electronics/phone stores in Belgium:

The Phone House: € 649.99
Proximus (mobile operator): € 649.99

Here in the Netherlands the XZ was €630

Lucky me. Here in Malaysia, most phone sold are unlocked as 80% of the population use prepaid. Also here Sony are the cheapest around. XZ come out at around €520 and XZL at €400 (same price as N4) now I can get XZ for €380 and XV at €219(HK unit). And even with contract, none of the carrier here bother locking the phone, controlling any software or loading any crapware.
And my Prepaid give me 2Gig of data (they capped ur speed afterwards. 4G coverage is still limited but at least 80% of area got 42mbps), 3 Facebook credit, sometime they give u free KFC chicken, 100 minutes call to any local number, unlimited free call to the same Operator, 100mb of kakautalk and wechat and 30Sms for RM48 (€11.48). Afterwards per minutes is RM0.18 (€0.04).

Docomo supposedly had 1 million of each handset ready in advance according to an insider. No availability problems anywhere I've seen. I can confirm that at the shop there was much more activity around the XAs on display.
FWIW, the XA is positioned a lot higher for Japan - the developing-market ZR version is only 8GB but the version sold in Japan has 32GB internal. The waterproofing is a lot more important feature in the japan market, and the physical size hits the sweet spot for japanese hands it seems. (The S4 is just about the widest handset I could possibly use, the XA feels a lot better to me, but ultimately chose to go with S4 for unlocked bootloader)

I suspect the Z is withdrawn because a new model is about to take it's place - could even be an uprated Z as already leaked

The Xperia A is pretty much it until at least the end of August at the very earliest. Japan carriers do strict quarterly unveils of their whole product line and its been only a month since the summer lines were announced. Never anything in between.

But those prices for Xperia Z and Xperia ZL are probably for models C6602 and C6502 (without LTE)?
We have Xperia Z model C6603 in Belgium, which has LTE, so it's more expensive.
LOL! Free KFC chicken with your prepaid credit :laugh:
We also have some bonus system here. After each reload we receive a code that can be used to play a silly game on this website to earn some coins that can be redeemed for gifts.

bough my XZ (no simlock) for 666CHF aka 540 euros
currently its 550 CHF aka 450 Euros.
and i currently pay 30CHF per month (25 Euros) for 2gb Data (4g ... well at least would if there would be any antennas -.- not yet...) and everything else exclusiv. and thats one of the cheaper contracts! you might get a 1gb+1000sms+100minutes for 29.- if you're under 26years... but thats it. everything else is around 40-80chf

I bought mine last May for Php23400, corresponds to 408.96 euros @ Php57.22/1 EUR
at launch it was about Php30000 or 559.26 EUR, of course there's no contract when I bought it

Finally Z1 is coming to Thailand

I live in Thailand and have been waiting for Z1 release here. I don't want to import from EU due to high import duty and lack of warranty in case I get defective phone. I just went to Sony Store to see if I could pre-order one. They told me that Z1 will officially launch at Thailand Mobile Expo 2013 from Oct 3~6 and I can pre-order at Sony booth. I'll order mine on very first day Hope it'll come with latest firmware and fix superior auto by the time it is released.

What model that sell in Thailand c6902 or c6903? Thx

I'm in Thailand, I bought from Clove in the UK and although I paid VAT in Thailand I was exempt from VAT in the UK so actually worked out cheaper even with postage
warranty is a concern but if it comes to the worst I'll post it to Clove

Reasonable price, cheaper than what I was expecting. I'm going to get purple Never had a purple phone before. LTE...I don't really care much about that. If it is included, well that would be great. If not, no big deal. LTE won't be widely available in Bangkok in a year or two. By that time, we all will be buying new phones anyway.
