Hello all!
Sony Store is my Chrome home page (too lazy to change it..) so I can check new offers on a regular basis.
And in case you didn't know, PURPLE is now an available color for our dear Z3 .
I've attached some pics for your review. What do you think of it?
I bought the black version last year (and also won a PS4 with the online lottery) but would have definitely picked purple if it had been available at that time .

I had the original Z in purple. A very nice and eye catching colour.
My Z3 is the copper one, which is even better.
Copper is the nicest color available for the Z3 in my opinion, but it's good to see more color available
It looks so sexy
I had a purple Z and Z Ultra, so I would've liked the option to get a purple Z3 at launch. I always thought the purple really set the Xperia line apart from other Android phones on the market. It's a shame it took so long to come out. That being said, I really like my copper dual

Purple is Hong Kong exclusive. For people who don't need the LTE, you can get that imported as it appears so far only the global model is in purple. For folks like me who use the D6603, I'll stick with what I have...just went from the black to the sliver green one and that looks amazing. Underrated colors.
Still wanted a purple but am happy with that I have.
Just a question, is still worth it buying a z3?
Or should i wait for z4?
I can't stand one more month with my s4
Thanks in advance.
if you're in the US, Best Buy for Business is selling the Z3 D6603 (in any of the four colors) for $299 + tax (unlocked and no contract).

Damn. Hell of a price! Purple z3 to me will be one of the unicorns of the mobile world, kind of like the white nokia n9 back then. It looks pretty sweet to me.
Purple z3 also available in the UK, although I can't remember which provider its an exclusive colour for!

Link?!? I do not see that anywhere. That is way too good to be true.
My wife bought a purple z3 yesterday. In the UK it's exclusive to carphone warehouse.
Got this version last week - it's gorgeous. Have always got black phones before but it's nice having something a bit different. Really nice shade of purple as well. Also seems to show up fingerprints less.

This may seem a bit odd but I'd still like to hear your opinions please...
I've had a black sgs2 for a couple of months, rooted and custom ROM etc.
My other half has just received a white sgs2 upgrade but she rather keep he old Nokia and has given me the opportunity to keep it and sell my black one...
Which one do i keep (without considering white one may sell for more etc)?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
why does she want to keep an old nokia and throw away the best phone ever build?
I think the white one sells for alot more because its newer and not rooted/custom roms.
But its all personal preference, if you like the white one more, then keep the black one
Wouldn't have thought it would be worth more cause of the colour. If it does make more I would definitely trade that few pound for the classy white look. I've got the white one and bought some skins for it. My favourite being white sgs2 with a black vented cover. Looks really smart with the white showing thru the black vent wholes. Just my opinion and preference, but hope this helps mate!

prefer the black one, white phone gets messy in time
i think i prefer the look of the black one, but ultimately the white one would sell for a little more! (blame apple)
i prefer the black one too..........the back of the white phone is flat and slippery.......
Black definitely.
I was really really disappointed in Samsungs galaxy S II white version. The colour and feel with the silver aluminium on the phone looks tacky and cheap. They did an awesone job with the Galaxy S white version. That one was actually called i9000 ceramic white.....whereas the sgsII really doesn't look like a 500pound phone ....

Good choice. As you can see by the posts, everyone likes black! Why not be a but different lol

I think I'll stick with my black one then!
OP find out if its has NFC, and if you fancy such a device then sell yours.
One other thing is it the 16GB or 32GB?.
Blacks best any how
I personally bought a white one as I always wanted a white phone
I'll suggest you to keep which ever color you like.

Its a UK phone from 3 network - 16GB...I don't think it has NFC! Is it likely to be locked? Can I unlock without rooting?
i have the Black one, and my Brother has the white i don't like the battery cover the black one comes with.. if anyone would like to supply me a source for a plastic gloss back cover as on the white one ill be very grateful
I went with the white, looks awesome

Not only girls.
This is thee same purple tone Sony has been using on their slim premium VAIO laptops for a while and it just looks amazing in person.
It takes the laptop out of the bunch. I've had 3 or 4 purple VAIOs (N505 and a couple of Z series).
White is cool but black is just amazing, elegant and glassy. I can't maake up my mind
Black offcourse

white looks good for me, its nice and shiny and is really glossy, and despite it being dragontail glass, i shall always live in fear, so will probably buy a case and screen protector with it o_0!!
I'd love to have a black one for developing roms and kernels, but I'm a student so I don't think I'll be able to upgrade...
I already needed to let the Xperia T & V go by because of that
So I'm going to try to save some extra money, but I can't say that I'll be able to buy it

dragontail no good?
There's just something about the black version that makes it stand out. Very sleek and classy looking it is in black. Yes, it's a fingerprint magnet for sure, but I can forgive that in such a sexy looking phone.
I was in two minds as to whether to go for the black or the white. But after much deliberation I have plumped for the black.

Black, for sure. Looks so elegant and classy, also makes it look sleak, and if something's on it, it'll be less able to see than with the white/purple version.

Just like the title- what made you to like XZ and buy or pre order the phone?
For me, I just liked everything of Xperia Z. but waiting for price drop!
Please tick your reason in above poll. You can select multiple choices!
I desperately need an upgrade as my arc s is to slow for my usage, my contract was expired in august but didn't like any phone at the moment enough to upgrade. I was tempted by the one x+ but I like the looks better of the xperia z and it is more up to date. I think any 2012-2013 high end phone would be good enough for me so I have the luxury of just taking the one I like. When the One was presented I was thinking of switching but that phone just isn't for me.
love your city and country btw

Best looking handset i have ever seen simple.
i bought the xperia z, because i had a pretty good experience with the xperia arc s. I also like sony's ui, i think it's much better than touch wiz.
i love design, build quality, performance, sony ui ...amazing phone!!!!
Well everything, but the Design & build quality gave it the edge over the competition.
Fancied a change from Samsung and HTC, the more I see the XZ it makes me think how beautiful it is!
Really Sony have put out all the stops this year, I think it's the best looking Android phone and I want a premium handset that not only looks the part, takes decent pictures/videos too!

I wonder if it's that coated paint like on the black that can chip or like the silver.
seen this in person, it looks A LOT better IRL than it does in photos... might be coming to Canada
anodized i'm sure... I wonder if we could get our aluminum anodized and make our own colors.... Of course it would have to be taken apart but hey, it could probably be done. I know a guy who anodizes, hmmm.
Red with a red bumpers would be hot!
That would have been nice to have. I wish HTC had offered the Developer Edition in special colors instead of the same silver and black. That would have been nice way to differentiate.

On the upside, HTC, Samsung, and LG have already done their flagship releases for this year, so they only have to worry about the Galaxy Note (not a direct Z3 competitor) and the iPhone (which frankly isn't going to be cross-shopped). The Z2 got lost in the shuffle earlier this year, didn't quite stack up against the others, and none of the US carriers even bothered to pick it up.

Z2 was awesome but it slid like hell
Until I dropped it at the bottom of Ephemerisle, my Z2 was an awesome device, and I loved it much over the Samsung Galaxy S5 that I have now.
The only problem - it was WAY too slippery. I'd put it on any slightly not straight surface, and it would slip. Off the couch, off the car seat, off of everything.
Has this been fixed in the Z3?

they are glass on both sides so unless they make rubber glass, no.. i hardly see this as an issue. i mean, it's either a cheap rubber plastic phone or a phone made of quality material. sometimes you just have to make some sacrifices..

whoa, pricing in the UK already! waiting in Canada ...
wonder what will happen with the Z2 price. they can't have both phones at $700, and they certainly shouldn't charge more than that for the Z3.
I'm already waiting for Amazon US prices... :crossfingers:
I guess i know how you z2 owners feel now. I have the note 3 and the 4 did not impress at all. Z3 is probably my next phone due to the ps4 feature so there is no reason to buy a vita. Wonder how much it will cost in the us?

That's good news. I don't wanna buy a T-Mobile one if it has their branding all over it though. I'd rather get one from the Sony store unlocked if possible.
Did you watch the video? I didn't see Tmobile on there at all except on the start up. Unless they brand it later on down the road.

You may be thinking Verizon there, T-Mobile generally doesn't go that crazy with the branding.
