Just want to thank all the Devs.....

As I will soon be ending my contract with Verizon (2 years will be up) and moving to T-Mobile (bought a prototype Xperia PLAY - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088271)
I will obviously still be here in the Xperia PLAY forum but I would like to take a moment to thank all the Devs who took the time to work on the R800x CDMA Xperia PLAY. After poking around with the new GSM play I bought I can really see just how much more of a pain the a$$ it is to work on the CDMA version when compared to the GSM that 98% of the users here have. So again, Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. You guy have really turn this phone into something great and I would like to personally give my gratitude to everyone.
GSM Devs, as I will be switching to this model I would also like to thank you as well for your efforts. I am amazed at how many more choices there are with GSM and I look forward to tinkering with each ROM.
Thank you everyone for making this forum great making this a place where people can come and learn.

Its actually an R800at (its a AT&T prototype with none of the branding, except software which has been replaced, and it came with an unlocked bootloader (obviouisly for beta testing).
Needless to say I am excited to experience all the goodies that come with a GSM Xperia PLAY! :laugh:

sure. xplay AT & T or t-mobile can be used there.
but only no 4G, afaik depend on the 4G network baseband or something like that,
also make sure u check radio baseband (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900, etc) of the tmobile or at&t series and in philippines.
how about mine? not R800i but i use R800x. i can use it although no 4G and of course no support/official guarantee from sony ericsson indonesia coz just R800i which is offcial series here.
for example in indonesia, i can use the tmobile and att series but no 4G function. in case if i get the 2 series locked. i can buy code for unlocking it (about 15-20 bucks) but yea no official guarantee from sony/sony ericsson indonesia except that R800i series

It depends on the radio band your carrier use.

Canadian Z owners

Anybody in Canada have the Xperia Z yet?
If you have the 6603 model (LTE capable) can you post how good the connection is?
Apparently 6603 will have problems with LTE and 3G networks here, hence why the Z is not coming to Canada.

I do hope it works well on only band 7 on fido's network..as advertised.
Will let you know once I get it, hopefully in 2 weeks or so..

Thanks.
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.

any rumored dates for the 6606?
I don't want to wait forever.... might as well get the HTC One or Galaxy S4 instead if we have to wait until April or longer.....

I just ordered the 6603 from Handtec UK.
Once it arrives I will also post results on LTE and 3G performance.

Why would you buy the 6603?
I am pretty sure won't work in Telus lte network.
I am quite at peace with the lack of Canadian lte bands but I am ok with fido myself..
As rumors go, the 6606 will be here in march.

Couldn't find the 6602 anywhere to purchase and not enough info on the 6606.
I'll be furious if Sony actually release the 6606 next month.
They are really doing a poor job handling the information and distribution of this phone.

Is the 6606 even official?

It's on the list of PS certified devices in the US along all other Z models. And some insider info confirmed it's coming to the US (most likely ATT) and thus Rogers will have it too, as usual.

Ok. I did hear about the 6066 as being PS certified, but never heard anything official. Then what will happen to the ZL, which is coming to a good handful of our carriers?

I'm hoping the aws version comes to canada..or if wind mobile gets it

Xperia Z for T-mobile, Wind and Mobilicty

Hello guys,
I was lost for a while and figured out that Xperia Z is surely compatible with AWS or 1700/2100mhz frequency.
you must look for C6602 version though.

The C6602 is not ready to ship yet tho, so expect to wait til the end of March til you get it. Otherwise, we all just have to wait til Sony says something about the C6602 model being available.

Mod Edit....

That's not the USA Xperia Z/ZL. C6603 is Euro LTE, not even pentaband HSPA+. It's semi-functional in the USA, but lacks UMTS1900 and UMTS1700.
2G only on T-Mo, 3G on AT&T in some areas but not all (Depending on if you have UMTS850 service in your area).

Your just now figuring out its on Sale? They have been for sell for over a week now! I ordered my ZL a week ago....

OP please see ERD Entropy512 post within this thread, Thank You.

Z1 vs Z1s ROM support

Hey whats up guys,
Im looking at getting a z1 and found a good deal on a Z1s. However, being exclusive to T-mobile, it won't be as common as the Z1. So I'm afraid that ROM variety won't be as great as the normal Z1 or anyone knows if the Z1 ROMs are compatible with the Z1s?
What do you guys think?

Nope, they're not, simply, different models.
Try to get the z1 and not the z1s,the updates on the z1 are more faster than the z1s,that phone have some disvantage.
Good luck.

Z1s has a locked BL too so I don't think it even has root at this point.

If I remember correctly you would not get LTE service on Tmobile with the Z1.

There are several variants, and there is an international Z1 variant that was LTE that works with T-Mobile, I think it's the C6903.
The main issue with buying an international version I think is the lack of warranty in the U.S. since it's not sold directly by Sony in the states. The only way to get a warranty on the "Z1" is to buy the Z1S from T-Mobile The regular unlocked Xperia Z is sold in the U.S. by Sony however and has a warranty if you want to go that route... but you'd get the Qualcomm S4 instead of the 800.
EDIT - Here is the international version that works with T-Mo in the U.S., but as I said, no warranty.

I don't think so. The Z1 is sold on sony's online store. I think you can get the 6902 and 6906 from Sony.com. The 6903/6906 will get LTE on tmo

Locked or not it's still a damn good phone.
