Got mine last Thursday, should get the trainers soon
Haven't unlocked the bootloader or rooted it. But managed to uninstall a lot of bloat.

Too bad there's no way to restore your TA partition and relocking your bootloader like Xperia Z. So once you unlock your bootloader you will loose your DRM keys forever
Hopefully there'll be something soon
Ordered mine today, hopefully I receive it by Friday
Can you root your phone without unlocking boatloader? If so, can it be reverted back to stock for warranty purposes?

Mine came in about half an hour ago. I ordered it yesterday from Vodafone just before lunch. I won't be using it yet though, as my screen protector and magnetic charging cable hasn't arrived yet. Hopefully one or both of them come either later today or tomorrow.

I don't think I have much patience once I get it . I need to buy a magnetic charging dock though. Where did you buy yours from? Ebay?
I have to send my Xperia Z to Sony for repair as it's both USB and Audio flaps are worn out and no longer seals properly. So really don't wonna see same thing happening to my Z2

Yeah, I ordered the magnetic charging cable from eBay. I ordered it 1 1/2 weeks ago and the seller is from Australia. I'm guessing he doesn't have any stock in like he claims.
The flaps were a put off for me on the Xperia Z (+boom sound) which is why I went with the HTC One last year even though I preferred the looks of the Z.
I'll be making a comparison of Z2 speakers vs HTC One when my screen protector comes in.
Hope yours comes in soon, BTW are you Om Shakti from Whirlpool?

No.. but I do have whirlpool account with the same nick "kamalmawa" as on XDA and I don't remember the last time I logged into whirlpool forums ... For my understanding HTC one have better speakers compares to Z2. This is due to waterproof seal covering the speakers of Z2. So Sony had to sacrifice some of the speaker loudness to keep the phone IP rating.. I remember someone remove the seal on his Z to find the speaker is way louder

Yes I understand what you are saying, due to it being waterproof the sound will not be as clear. About the loudness though, I saw a video comparison on youtube by btekt and he says the Z2 is louder then the HTC One M8, but the M8 has a clearer sound.
However I still want to do my own tests with my HTC One M7.

Nah mate, just the regular earbuds. Ive got a pair of MDR-EX210B's which I'll use anyway. Not too fussed about the noise cancellation anyway
I just order a z2 from Vodafone today. But they said that box will not include noise cancelling headphones, just standard headphones.
Only Telstra sell z2 with noise cancelling headphones.
Anyone got the generic au ftf yet?
I haven't found a reason for the AU generic, as I was able to uninstall all the optus bloat stuff. But to answer the question, no.
EDIT: aside from the possibly quicker updates as being a reason

Got my XZ today
Sad part for the Belgian people so far ... No dock, no SD

That's a lot better than the dock and sd card...

Is the model C6603 ,LT36h the international version or the Japanese version?
I can see the C6603, but where do I find the LT36h part? Or is this that the Japanese version?
I'm from belgium and I order it at Vandenborre last week and I'll receive the dock and the speaker bluetooth. Where did you find the xperia in belgium cause it's coming only on the 10th march? I'm still waiting and sombody can answer.
I think he ordered his phone from coolblue.be, they have the phone already in stock.
But you never get any extras in their shop.
I ordered mine also with Vandenborre, the release date 10/03 is (I hope) for the people who ordered their phone after a certain date.
When I ordered mine the release date was the 4th of march, and I still hope I get it on Monday.
Ho Ok! I also hope for monday I'm the 25th person on the list... but the bonus are really good so I'll wait

Iiiiiii, you're wrooooooooooong! You ordered from Coolblue, which is a Dutch store and delivers the Dutch kits.
All true Belgian retailers (The Phone House BE, Belcompany BE, Proximus, Mobistar, BASE, Telenet, Vanden Borre, Selexion, ...) will all be offering a kit with the dock (handset colour) included. Belgian kits arrive in about two weeks.
(The MDR-1R does sound good but is a bit too aggressive on the high end compared to what I'm used to.)

I have had an Xperia Z for three weeks, I know things It'll be either late next week (doubtful) or early the week after that.
In The Netherlands all pre-orders got the headphones (which are pretty good) as a bonus but the phone itself doesn't come with the dock. The first 500 orders in The Netherlands through the official Sony site and with the right coupon code got the BT speaker instead of the headphones.
In Belgium everyone gets the dock in the box (pre-order or not) and some pre-orders at Vanden Borre get the speaker for free.
Ok, it looks like that's my price to pay wanting to have it so quickly. I indeed ordered from coolblue. Will have to order the dock separately then. I'll survive

Got a call this afternoon from Vandenborre, they say that 2 to 3 week release date is a guide date, could be later.
O joy.
It's not coming by truck but by bike, I think
I have cancelled my pre-oder for 484 euro (yeah u read it correct ..., ordered at work) and ordered one at gsmwijzer.be for 623 ...
should be here by tomorrow ...
too busy weeks coming up, so wanted it to be here to play with this weekend, what's a 150 euro in life ... (no I don't make loads of money, but what's money ...)
Well I received my XZ this morning and so far have been to work and not done anything with it. However the headphones that I got free are the MDR-1RBT which are the Bluetooth ones retailing on the Sony site for £399. From another post within this forum other people are saying that they got the MDR-R1 which are ones which where advertised with the pre-order offer. I am just wondering what everybody else seems to be getting and if they actually received the headphones.
It'll be interesting where they ordered them from.
Different cans to different suppliers?
I got the BT ones. Ordered from Phones4u 1st Feb.
they seem to be including the BT ones if they where dispatched late / delayed
I got the regular mbr 1r eith mine. Happy as! Phone is excellent!

How many people has it? Did you encounter any problems with your One and where did you buy it?
Darkhan total i brought 50 items none had complaint all had little line on gap very little 3 had headphone broken but they send it to Teleservice so all happy.
Mine were first batches but now i have bought another 5 from UK they seems much better build quality but i dont know which batch they sell at Turkcell
I bought from Turkcell, mine is perfect. They let me check the phone before I buy it.
I bought one on tuesday, but there were errors on microphone.
People couldnt hear me very well, sound was low and nor clear all the time.
I gave it back and waiting for a new unit.
This is my third phone this month,
I was using htc one x for a year, begining of this month I bought xperia z but i didnt like it and changed it to ONE.
I was missing my one x while using the Z, but one is really great

Hello guys, as title says, if I were to obtained a unlocked Z2, would it have full functionality in USA such as 4G/LTE? I looked a the radio bands listed in their specs and compared it to what AT&T uses, I noticed there were some but not all bands that matched. I would appreciate any help, thank you!

Thank you so much for that information, I've been talking to AT&T rep trying to figure this out, but seems like all the bands AT&T uses for 3G/4G/LTE is listed in D6503 specs.
Do you have any issues using it in the States, or does it everything function as it should? I would truly appreciate your help, thank you.

reception?
I have been trying to find info on how good the reception on the phone is.. My s4 has **** reception. the htc one I have has much better reception when im at work. I am hovering over a "Buy it Now" button on ebay and want to find out if it has good reception. Also, how is the stock messaging app? I hate using third party ones, they usually have quirks, but again, cant find any info on what the email or messaging apps look like at all.
You should try Textra. It is the best sms app I have used on Android.

One awesome thing I noticed was that the dock had the insert that comes out to fit your phone into it while still in the case!!!! Genius! I will be buying a couple extra docks I think.

Would you be able to check out wifi range also? compared to other phones? I have an XZ, and have never been happy with the wifi (so much worse than my old iponw 3gs).
I ordered mine from a random Taiwanese seller on ebay. I went for whichever is the cheapest. But i do see some that includes the charging dock. I guess you just have to read the description of each auction to see what they come with

What's the usual deal with Sony warranties on the unlocked/international version? Could you still get the phone serviced at a Sony center or replaced by calling in an issue if you needed to?
I've never bought an international/unlocked/SIM free type phone before but if Sony fails to bring it to the USA carriers I'm interested in I see no other choice.

I can't understand anything on chinese site.
For european user: I discovered that the only sony store who has the Xperia Z3 Dual is the polish one.
Waiting for a couple of weeks to see availability and I hope a price drop.
The Sony HK Online site has them however, they only accept orders from HK only.
If you want Dual, check EBay, since I do see some listings there.
Here's the user manual of Xperia Z3 Dual.

I ordered it come with charging dock DK48 about 5225 HKD ( 4200 CND )
Also available at offerbank now - ships to most places.
Order mine from never-msrp on eBay. Should be here within the next few days.
For anyone who has a D6633 can you confirm if it has Google framework/play and which region you purchased it in?
available in Saudi Arabia through this website www.z3preorder.com
for 2999 SR - Approx $800.00 US dollars
As mentioned in another thread, The port flaps of the d6633 on each side are the same size unlike the d6603. I actually placed my order with gsmnation for the d6603 but they send me the the d6633. Wtf.. Lol. Not a big deal cuz both will still work with the major us carriers and plan on using with one network.
Only issue is i'm expecting my z3 case to arrive soon that i had ordered for a d6603. There will problems with the case as the cut out on the left hand side was made for the smaller d6603 port and not the d6633. Thanks gsmnation lol!
So folks looking for cases for z3 in general, understand that the port cutouts of the cases need to be different for d6633 specifically since most are prob made for the d6603.

On the left side, the micro USB port is moved and will be on the same flap on right beside the micro SD, so the left side can hold the two SIMs.
It maybe problem, but not sure. I actually ordered for myself a Z3 case from Nillkin, so I will have to see how it is when I get it.
Z3 Dual unboxing can be seen below.
