Hey everyone. Been having issues for the past two months with my HTC One. Yesterday my wife surprised me with a z1 she bought me at the Sony store. She knew I wanted a z1. Problem is I'm on At&the and the Sony store only sells the C6902, non LTE version.
Loving this phone but.wondering if I should return it and buya C6906 from an import vendor?
Is the C6906 going to be exactly the same as far as software, android version updates etc as my C6902? Like I said I love this phone just don't have LTE.
Thanks

Yes. The C6902 and 6906 are identical in every other way and won't impact the times you get official updates.
Thanks, C6906 is ordered. It will be here Tuesday.

I'm curious about the updates though. Isn't there a difference if he is getting a carrier branded unlocked 6906 versus a factory unlocked version direct from Sony?
If you flash generic ftf there is no difference.

Just some extra confirmation - I flashed 257 generic on my C6906 on AT&T and got the 290 OTA immediately.

Welcome to the club. :good: Did you buy from Overseas Electronics? I did, but ended up with a Telus phone, which can't be BL unlocked at the moment. Have you checked your BL?
What do I need to check to know what version or what BL I have?

One of Sony's other sites (I forget where...) indicated that at least one ZL model would support AT&T LTE.
What is interesting is that it sounds like (from another thread) that AT&T will not be selling this model - which would make it the first device not sold by AT&T to support their LTE bands. I'm wondering if this might be a sign that AT&T will be allowing their MVNOs to use the LTE network soon???

I would assume the ZL model would be the C6506. From what I've seen from stat sheets it's probably the one coming to North America. In Canada, were getting the ZL, and the C6506 supports our Canadian LTE and HSPA bands.

It's interesting because C6506 will support ALL of our Canadian carrier bands for 2g, 3g AND 4g. One phone everywhere = more support for development and accessories. What's even better is ATT and MetroPCS are also compatible on every respective bands (including LTE)

I was going by what I knew at that time, but it won't be coming from AT&T, only works on it's network. I can't say too much right now other than there is a model that supports AT&T LTE. Don't know when or if it will be sold direct from Sony in the US.
ZL is coming soon.

thanks, i ordered the xperia z from clove 2 days ago (couldn't wait till july for sony to release this in the US) but now i have canceled it, hopefully they'll announce the release date soon.
Is the AT&T variant going to have different specs?
Whatever ATT offers, I hope it retains the ip57 certification. Huge selling(buying) point for me.

Hello guys, does anyone know where i can buy the Xperia Tablet Z 3g? Been looking EVERYWHERE for 2 weeks there is either no stock, or only Ebay links, for american resellers.
Or would the USA version work on the Tmobile Baseband overhere
I would counsel against getting a US model unless you're certain it'd work. US networks are generally quite different to UK ones and I wouldn't, by default, expect a US device to work in the UK. Maybe someone with actual experience can correct me, though.

Was that on contract? As I want to buy outright. If not I will have to go with the 32gb. I don't mind having the 4g, as it still has the 3g basebands.

Bought one from o2 after them saying it was unlocked. Took it back 5 minutes later due to being locked. Bought one from Vodafone and exactky the same. After 2 weeks of sony being out of stock I came home that same night and at 23.30 Checked online and was in stock! Not going to lie its a beast!
It is now showing on online retail store, but it is C6902.
If it is in the same Z situation, LTE Z1 will be at either t-mo or at&t.

There is no LTE in this version. Only HSPA+ on T-Mobile and AT&T.

Ah, Ok. I think it's going to be T-Mobile. I believe there is a pic floating around the forums of the Z1 dressed in T-Mobile USA branding. Basicly, it will be the current EURO/UK version with T-Mobile bloat and the logo as my buddy has the UK unlocked Z1 and gets full LTE on T-Mobile with it now.
Just preordered my black z2 with Clove. First stock is expecting to arrive on mid April. Selling my z1 on ebay and let the waits begin

^ expected next month though PH pro'lly get it may-jun. expansys-ph has it on their "coming soon" section already. i've seen the z1 compact on kimstore, cmk & expansys-ph. btw, that language is technically not allowed here, bro
i'm thinking of getting the z2 as well to replace the one on my sig, especially if globe offers this on postpaid. but for me, it's really a toss up between this and the oppo find 7 qhd version - similarly spec'd but bigger (and pro'lly better) screen and a bit more cheaper for the US$599 price tag at launch
Xperia Z1 Compact is now available on Xperia stores. Just saw it yesterday in Megamall.
