Hi,
probably because its 2:36am here but I can't find any stores(online or local) that sell SE Xperia X10. I am From San Diego, CA. Looked all other the Xperia X10 fan sites and no one mentioning about it.
I would really like to see the phone "in person" as I don't buy things only seeing images on the internet.
Anyone knows where I can go and play with it for couple minutes? And what is the price?
Thank you.
sorry to say dude, you wont see the phone until maybe later this july or august or even september (if AT&T is subsidizing this phone x10a) if you wanna get the x10i with 900/1700/2100, you can either fly to europe or to hong kong to test it in person.
There are several stores in San Gabriel, Monterey Park and Alhambra, CA area that sells X10i with T-Mobile 3G. I purchased mine from addictedtophones.com and pick it up in person. Give them a call.
Thank you guys for reply,
I think I will have a trip to LA to see the phone, I was planing to visit the city anyway, unless I find a store here in San Diego.
Anyone knows how to find this stores?
And I see they making Tmobile contracts too!? strange as tmobile doesnt have them.
My contract ends this month so I will have to decide.
Thank you again.
pagercell services in westminster, ca, orange country can get it too. Holly,the owner can get most imports. I got my treo 650 and p910i from her.
Should be a shorter drive than LA.

I found my X10i online very easily by doing google search for xperia X10.
I got mine from expansys usa but there are others that are also less expansive or at least that was the case about a mouth ago.
How much should it be? I found couple of them on ebay with ~550$, is it a good price? Also i so some websites saying that Xperia Shakira is coming out a mid size phone something like 3.2-3.5 inch display. I would love that, as my wife has a 3GS and its 3.5 inch wich for me is more than enought. I also checked Htc Hd2/Evo with that 4.3 inch display and honestly i think is too much, to big and to wide.
Should I wait for that phone maybe? As I noticed SE moves realy slow. I am assuming until it comes out we will have at least a dozen more androids.
Do you guys like your xperia x10? I was reading alot and many ppl sold their phones. Is it aniying because of small RAM, no multitouch and no firmware updates? Like I said SE is slow on making things.
Do not pay anymore than 500 cash. I've seen listings on ebay for 515 free shipping. Paypal, ebay listing fees, and shipping takes quite a chunk from the retailers so they must have been able to get the phone for much cheaper in order to have any kind of decent profit margin.

There is absolutely nothing seriously wrong with the phone other than a few quirks here and there. If you read through the forums, you will get a picture of what people are complaining about. I've mentioned this in another thread; I think the X10 is a fantastic phone if it meets your requirements. In certain aspects of the UI, the X10 is faster than the N1. In others, the opposite is true. Each phone has its own quirks.
The main reason why I bought the N1 is because I'm a nerd who likes to tinker with things. The N1 has the most support right now and that is why I have it. I will buy the X10 again as soon as I have the available cash though. That should tell you something.
Thx,
probably i am going next week to LA to buy one.
Hope I will like what I see )
Thanks for all support guys. Have a great weekend.
I see the Atrix is showing as available (3 units) for £549.95 at Simply Electronics:
http://www.simplyelectronics.net/mainproduct.php?pid=13376&sd=specs
and due week beginning 28th March for £499.99 from King of Gadgets:
http://www.kingofgadgets.co.uk/motorola-atrix-sim-free-unlocked-mobile-phone.html
I can't find any other UK sites at the moment with either phones in stock or even an expected date though.
Anyone got the UK version yet?
I'm not the only one looking then lol.
I spoke to king of gadgets yesterday to confirm the due date. They have a high number of pre orders and are unsure of their initial stock allocation but week commencing 28th is still the date they have.
I've also got a notification request in at Play, and am monitoring clove, expansys and others.

Does the software have any of the AT&T stuff or is it completely unbranded as well as unlocked?
are you sure the atrix on those sites are unbranded models and not just unlocked AT&T phones?
i dont think you can buy an unbranded atrix anywhere...
King of Gadgets is now showing a due date of July rather than week beginning 28th March. Oh well...

It had the AT&T stuff but you can remove it via Manage Applications, also the seller unlocked it before he sold it
The only branding you would have is the AT&T logo on the back which you can wet sand off, other than that all of the bloatware can be removed.
Also it was only £360 imported which is a steal in my opinion, I hate UK prices of phones and gadgets
Mine is for sale if any of you internationalers are interested
I just bought one from eCell on eBay, £499 unlocked. They are adamant it is a totally unbranded device, but still show the at&t logo on the back cover in their photos. They have loads for sale though. I'll report back when I get it through.
Anyone else got this in the UK? Did it get the update through? Anyone got a totally unbranded device and not an unlocked at&t model?
I just requested a MoDaCo page for it as well.

Hi All.
i got mine from ATT in Dallas and it's unlocked to o2 uk. Got the unlock code from cellunlock.
Working fine, got the update last week, no wifi issues, no issues.
i don't believe there are unbranded phones yet, they are either att or bell. if it has att on the battery cover then it's definitely an att phone.
This is just my opinion.
Even though i'm dying to get one , i wont purchase the phone unless it's from a reliable source . Right now i'm checking expansys , handtech and clove almost daily to see if there is any update regarding the device availability but still there is no sign beside the indication that the accessories will be available in the 1st week of April @ clove .. sometimes i feel i lost the sense of the date >_<

Same here. I got burned on eBay with a G1 later reported as 'stolen'. It took me 6 months and a lot of legal threats (plus some police involvement) to get my money back...

What I'd like to know is: do these unlocked phones have AT&T software on them that prevents sideloading and tethering?

*If* you decide to keep it, then it's easy to remove the AT&T logo. I did it (and documented all over the net) by just scratching it off with a coin. Leaves no traces and does not scratch the surface.

Nice, thanks for that. I just sold my Nexus S because the back scratched way too easily, a coin would have killed the finish so it's good to know a coin would do no such damage on this device.
I may start a new thread and document everything about getting the phone into the UK, although it doesn't seem difficult.
eCell seem to be reputable on ebay. They sell a lot of phones and have 600k+ positive feedback so I'm not too worried about getting scammed. They want to wait 5 working days before shipping it to make sure I pay them and the money checks out. They are more worried about getting scammed by me by the looks of things. Still, £499 isn't cheap, but probably cheaper than Clove and Expansys, and definitely cheaper than Play.com will be, as they always seem to be the premium rip-off merchants.
I'll do a comparison between the UK ones and the AT&T ones as well. Curious if they will have sideloading and tethering out of the box so I'll let you know when I find out Moandal.
If not there's gonna be a bit of hacky sacky to do.
I have a contract renewal in May anyway so if this phone turns out to be a pile of AOL Online cds then I can sell it on and upgrade to a Pyramid or something.
Also, UK Accessory list, expected in 5-8 days.

I wish i 'd seen your post before I dived in. I too have bought from ecell. I previously had a at+t phone that was somewhat restricted. I hope this device is direct from Motorola factory. I expect delivery next week. I expect side loading and tethering all to be available without any carrier restrictions. Well this is why I am paying for a second phone... I know moto make great phones.
Btw.... ANYONE READING THIS DO NOT BUY FROM SIMPLY ELECTRONICS. I paid for a phone and then cancelled my order same day. 2.5 weeks, 6 phone calls, 5 emails I still have no refund.

Do let us know... I am interested to get one as well. Want to hear from ppl that jave tested the water
Good evening,
Was looking around and seems like Z5 is what I've been waiting for, and like many of you I cannot wait to get my hands on one. Searched it up on UK and USA sites, prices are extremely expensive for a Z5 (imagine how much the Z5 P is going to cost), anyway I searched it up on USA Amazon and found a decent price. Ive never actually purchased a smartphone online before but have made Tablet purchases and simple manufacturer defects are covered by the seller.
NGP Store USA from US Amazon sent me a ridiculous response. See the attachments, I asked nicely whether it is covered under manufacturer defect if the phone does not perform as advertised. I understand it has no warranty but manufacturer defect is another thing, event written on their policies. I dont know are they implying the phones are not IP 68 certified.
Anyway, be warned my young jedis rather wait till it launches in Canada or find some seller that is actually a seller. Seriously, paying up to $1000 for a phone that is not as advertised is non-sense. really makes me wonder where they get their stock from.
Interesting response I bought mine on EBay from Taiwan. Seller is 23port. I bought Z2 and Z3 from them as well. They are one if the first to get the new devices and ship DHL for free. Went out 10/2 and arrived 10/5.
You can get it for about $650~ on Handtec. Not bad, considering

Got my Z5 Graphite Black from Clove. Supposed to be delivered to my house by Tuesday hopefully! I only had good experience with them, would highly recommend them
To be honest, I like their response. The phone ip certification does not qualify it to be kept under the pressure of a running tap. The phone is gently submerged then taken out again, not blasted by a running tap stream of water.
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app
i dont know what kind of sink you have there sir, but my sink doesnt blast out tap water. I avoided to use the word "submerge" under water to illustrate a point here. After checking out every other sites, including eBay, yes eBay, nearly all sellers provide 1 year warranty. Then again, warranty and manufacturer defect policy are two separate things. What they are doing is very skeptical, makes me really wonder where they get their phones.
Even aside from all that, this points out they have extremely poor customer service or the CSR is just unprofessional. Could have structured the sentence professionally.
Im trying to avoid purchasing from UK, most of the prices there are extremely high. i might actually order from 23port as proposed by augie. Thanks for the info tho guys!
It must be my European sink with strong pipes and forceful blast

I really wanted to try the Z line. I was excited to see that VZW had one of them listed as an upcoming device. I was hoping the Z5 would land on VZW instead of the Z4v, but now news has it that VZW ditched the Sony lineup period... This is really sad news.
$1000?? Try searching Amazon
The Z5C is $559 on amazon:
Honestly, I wouldn't spend more than $650 on the Z5 and that's being generous given the flaws we've seen thus far. Granted that's software that has yet to receive post launch updates that improve performance.

Are you also annoyed at handset manufacturers snubbing us please share your views and why you think this is happening more often.
Can't say I'm surprised, although it is disappointing. Apparently LG's decision was because they think Europeans don't like big screen phones. Hopefully, if there is a European release it won't have reduced storage like the LG V10.

I'm *really* hoping that Clove don't jack up the price to beyond reasonable. I mean they're providing 2 years warranty with it and are importing them too but if it's astronomical they'll only sell a handful if that and I don't know if it would even be worth it for them. I do hope it's fairly priced. Aside from that I'm going to check amazon.de and amazon.fr and I'll need to check my phone insurance will cover it since it won't be a UK released phone.
Such a shame LG aren't releasing it in the UK yet again....
Anyone know how one would approach the warranty situation if it's bought from Amazon.de or.fr? I'd guess just sending it back to Amazon wouldn't be too difficult within the normal warranty period for the device?
Waiting patiently for clove to release details also. With the debacle that is the note 7, I'm hoping a non UK release decision gets rethought.

Darn !!! The phone has a faulty camera !!! The ois continuously shakes and the phone vibrates whenever I open the camera app... I purchased it from a seller who stated it was new ..BS they bloody would have known it was f#&!&#D . going through return processes now
On a positive side the sound was so good and loud I couldn't put it max. The Dolby atoms demo was friggen amazing. Screen is bright and very nice so no idea what some people are moaning about the brightness for as its similar to my G4. Couldn't test camera though !! Lol. Looks like this is a sign to get the EU model from Amazon.de then. Ha ha.
Never returned anything to USA before so let's see what happens with postage and custom fees.

There is Dolby on the phone it worked fine. Tested the demo video etc. Here is a video of the issue
can't see it was rooted or a fake device as it came with all the box and registration / warranty stuff and all serial numbers checked out . Seller has accepted return and he is going to do a warranty claim his end. Not really bothered as will get my money back. Shame I now have to get an eu model or go with the plan of getting a pal to buy one from USA but if it breaks warranty will be difficult with customs and delivery charges. Eekk

I'm very likely to buy one before Christmas, unless miracle happens and Moto Z Force is sold outside of Verizon.

Yes I did, probably could have gotten it for less elsewhere/online but couldn't be bothered waiting as my current phone is in poor shape.
I got one from Harvey Norman on Friday, got it down to $667. I've bought loads of phones and electronics stuff from overseas before, thought I'd get this locally because I've never had an issue so surely my luck will run out.
Incredible battery, great reception, Moto Display will not function at all even after factory resets but on the other hand, it's not distracting me flashing/breathing so I'm not too fussed about it. Feels like a house brick, l'm happy with it. People reckon the low light camera is crap. It's certainly not on par with say, an S7, but it's not as bad as people reckon.

Good to know, I might get one this weekend! I really like this phone but $699 is a bit too expensive for me. The exact same model (Dual sim with same LTE bands) is only AUD480 from Amazon Mexico.

And you're right, the HTC 10 is at JB for $899 right now, which is a lot more phone for the money, and I very nearly got that instead, but decided I wanted the big battery. Try and talk them down a bit, they'll try and get extended warranty out of you for $120 or whatever though.
Like I said, sooner or later my luck would run out with these overseas purchases, but I've got a family now, I need a phone and I can't be stuffed with overseas warranty processes if it came to that. Everyone's different, I think Clove has them pretty cheap as well.

Too bad Clove only sells the official UK version which is single SIM, otherwise I would have bought one already! Maybe I should ask my wife if she really needs the dual SIM....
$667 price is great!
thinking of using the amex/harvey cashback deal and get one myself.
only thing holding me back in the camera quality in low light, however anandtech's review seems to show its not as bad as what the rest of the 'net is saying.
Thinking of getting one too, using the AMEX cashback deal from HN
Although, I am currently using Nexus 6P on 7.0 - wondering if Z Play is a downgrade for me
I have read positive reviews all over though, and I sort of need a change from 6P (year old now)
What do current users suggest - keep my Nexus 6P or get the Z Play (the price is tempting, thanks to AMEX deal)

I am currently using both phones. The Nexus 6P is so attractive due to latest software and features, especially with developer previews, but the Moto Z Play has been fantastic. I am a medium user, but with whatever optimization they have going the battery life is phenomenal! Off of the first charge I got over 4 days with 8+ hours screen time. Haven't noticed any performance hiccups but I am not a gamer. Received the phone on Friday and just charged it again this morning, Wednesday.
So the choice amounts to latest software faster or best battery life (at least that I have experienced on Android) ever.

Thanks
Nexus 6P sort of renewed my interest with 7.0, but battery life has taken a turn for the worse, so yeah that's that. I guess I just need a change now, and MZP seems to be the best in price-range to be my daily driver for the next 12 months
I am curious though, are you evaluating yourself, which one you will keep in the long run ?
Just received my moto z play from HN for $660 (had $300 worth of gift cards so effectively paid $360). Worth trying to haggle with them now since both Officeworks and Good Guys also sells them and they sell the white models to boot unlike HN who only sells the Black model.

I will keep the MZP. Nexus 6P is already listed for sale.
