I think there's going to be a special treat for us to compete in the US android market against devices already on 2.2...
But maybe only in ny dreams
What do you people think?

If 2.1 is suppose to hit Aug 15, one would think SE would make the announcement already. One point six isn't that great of a selling point when most of the other phones have 2.1 or higher.

Why the 15th?
If there's a major SE event that date there might be something to it, August is in the third quarter.
The only major event is that they are releasing the X10 in the U.S. But they already stated it will be coming with 1.6
They are not just going to slip 2.1 in without telling us. We'll know when it's coming in due time.

Since most of SE's sales come from outside North America (I have no official figures, just stating logically) where their phones are bought for the actual cost and not subsidized by the carriers, I don't think that it really is such a big event for them. The world doesn't revolve around us ya know...

Yep, I have been a week in London and I was surprised to find so few cell phones shops (generic shops I mean, not operator shops). That was a bit weird as in Italy cell phone are sold almost anywhere (not by the butcher, though) and only a small percentage is tighten to a carrier contract.
vodafone in Australia looks pretty nice you pay 0 for the phone and $79 a month. I dont know if thats normal there but 0 for the phone looks like a good deal.

Rogers released it for 149. in the beginning.
I think this aug 15 thing is a false statement. They would have said something about it if it was true.
August 15th is the official release date for the Xperia X10a in the U.S.
Android 2.1 update will not be released until Q1 2011...
LoL @ anyone thinking that Sony Ericsson would actually release anything ahead of schedule.
If anything they will delay the release of the firmware for 2 weeks for for 1 month.
Don't expect the firmware to be released any sooner than November.

Oh I see what you did there. Set your expectations low so when they actually release 2.1 in september you'll be presently surprised. I like it.

i tot the release will be in q3 this yr?
it was pushed backed again at least for ATT in America. Im not too sure about the rest of the world. Hopefully that is not the case.
Looks like everybody is trying hard for 2.1 update by coming out with new thread lol.
As per 2.1 update, it's going to come in September. I spoke to SE guy yesterday in Mumbai, India and looked like he was pretty sure about it. Just wait for few weeks and we'll get it.
I work for Sony and that's what we were told... like i said this is probably only relating to AT&T U.S. not everywhere else...
The devs need to get that bootloader cracked ASAP! lol
Highfive ashman! I totally second that!

$0 upfront is pretty standard here. the handset repayments are included in the monthly bill, until you start getting the the expensive plans where they make the money back through the plan. having said that, I'm pretty fond of mine. i'm on a $0 upfront $59 cap + $10 handset repayments. gets me $300 of calls, unlimited national text and mms free youtube, FB and myspace +2GB.
back OT, i'm waiting on september (or later, carrier dependent)
Seems like those ready to get their hands on the HTC One in Singapore yesterday (9/3/13) will have to wait quite some time longer. HTC has decided to abort the supposed launch of the One at the Singapore IT Show yesterday without giving any specific reasons. Carriers M1, Singtel and Starhub were getting prepped and ready for the launch with the launch gifts and offers and then suddenly announced that they're no longer offering the phone. And HTC finally responded and said that the One will be delayed until April at the very least. What do you think? Supply issue?
I saw a demo unit at one retailer, and I was kinda happy that we can still set up the number of home screen pages we want and not use blinkfeed, which I think is great. The price tag under the demo phone just wrote "Price to be announced".

In Spain it is announced for April too.
Hi all,
Has anyone else noticed that in some of the snapshots of this phone, like the ones used to advertise the cases being released for it, the screen shows a date of April 22nd?
I also saw a case on Amazon that said it would be in stock April 20th.
Could there be any basis in the rumor that the GS4 is going to be released on April 20th/22nd/sometime during that week?
What is the point if realeased 20 21 or 26 april???

This guy has an upgrade in April, too!! I've never had a smartphone and I'm sick of being behind the curve, so I am buying whatever is the latest and greatest.
New car, new apartment, new phone, new start to life
One more month to go. I think S4 will reach Malaysia earliest by July. Still a long time to wait...
I really hope it comes out in April or in early May. I don't want to wait that long I wish Verizon would hurry up and announce the release date!

I've had my upgrade since December. I'm tired of waiting for this sucker.
Does anyone know when models with greater than 16gb of built in storage will be available? I've noticed all the ones up for pre-order are 16gb here in the UK, I called Vodafone because their website wasn't working, and they said best they can do is let me know when they know. Does anyone else know?
Thanks.
Seriously, it's releasing in 2 days and no pricing or availability details??
This is ridiculous.
Has a company ever announced a product and simply never released it?
Others are noticing this too:

Yes, but Sept 25 for over 100 countries. If there was such a massive launch scheduled within 2 days, don’t you think we’d hear something about it? Pricing, which European stores were going to carry it, unboxing videos, hands-on reviews with retail units, etc.
But nothing!
So this makes me think that those countries aren’t getting it soon. And if they are delayed, then you better believe we will be, too.
This blows.
In italy nobody have notice about the new Note...
I did a quick search for Samsung's IFA 2013 announcement's and The Verge noted the GN10.1 2014 Edition was slated for an October release with no specific date provided. Just figures.

I have seen no official release date from Samsung for anywhere. I have seen speculation all over the place including Sept 24, Sept 25 and Oct 4. Nut all of those dates have come from blogs and rss news, nothing official.

According to Samsung Switzerland (on Facebook) we'll be getting it 'mid-october', the LTE version 'end of october'.
For a device that's supposed to be available in three weeks, I find this lack of information very strange.
I don't get why so many tech companies don't get this. This is why Apple is as successful as it is, they don't pull this kind of thing.

Galaxy Note 3 (deservedly) Galaxy Gear (not so deservedly) is taking all the attention it appears. However, they could throw us a bone here and there. I know that they don't expect a lot of sales but still, as I said in another thread, if you want to gain loyal customers, you don't pull this kind of stuff.
Pull what kind of stuff?
They showed a upcoming product, never announced a release date, and have yet to do so (likely because they don't have one yet). I'm not sure what the alternative is other than to just make one up and then miss it?
Personally I'd rather them wait to announce anything until it's a sure bet and I respect them for that.
Nothing pisses me off more than having a release date and it gets missed or there is a shortage.
I really don't understand the current hysteria lol...
Looks like this may shed some light on when it's coming....

That these variants will be released as rumored before end of September early October. ( which seems promising for Middle east, Africa & European countries )
The LTE 4G version seems to be released on a later stage - probably November. ( For North America )

I agree, a release date that is announced but then not honored is also very annoying.
What I mean is that they announce a device, with some kind of release date (at least an approximate one; at least in some areas) but yet there is very little information (for example the price) out there fore interested customers.
In my opinion, if you announce a device you need to be able to present a release schedule and reccommended retail pricing. Otherwise people are going to get excited about your device at the announcement but then get frustrated during the wait of indeterminate length.
This is the example that I experienced: The Note is announced at the end of august. Weeks later, online stores (where I live) still didn't have it in their catalogue and asking customer support, they said they had no info about it, be it price, release date or even if they will have it, because they were not informed by samsung. When the new iPhones were announced the stores had them in their catalogues on the same day, pricing, release date and all. Today you can buy the new iPhones, which were announced two weeks after the Note, of which there is still no sight.
From a marketing point of view it just doesn't make sense to me. You spend a lot of money and effort announcing your device, trying to get people excited over it. But because people can not act on their excitement (for a long time) all that energy just dissipates, instead of it going into pre-orders/sales.

Bravo!
ZTE UK on their twitter page have said they are looking at a Q4 launch for the Axon 7 that's silly why release it 3-6 months later than everywhere else will be out dated was looking forward to front facing speakers will have to get the one plus 3 now.
That's a pity, makes you wonder if it's going to be released late in the US as well...
Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk
hope it doesn't indicate slightly differing versions for different markets, that would be a pain. the dual SIM thing will turn many networks off the idea of touching the phone. a non dual SIM version could be a possible reason behind a delayed launch. maybe you could ask them @OP...
let's hope that's not the case as it'll screw up development
Unfortunatly I don't have a twitter account but they seem pretty dead set on a q4 launch probably get the one plus 3 now but just put off by the 1080p screen
how many months after buying the opo will you be kicking yourself for it and thinking I should have waited ?
A q4 release will moan note 6 and new nexus which will be newer phones
Yeah im gonna buy opo3 or note7, **** zte tbh, this is not the way to release new phones in 2016.

I'll give them the benefit of doubt that they're fixing known issues with the phone and are perhaps polishing the software before releasing it to the western market.
It's being released in us by the end of July us is the western market why delay it even further for UK
I'll be in the US in July and hopefully the phone will be out by mid July otherwise I'll get a nexus 6p.

Now they have replied to multiple tweets that they are looking to release it at the end of the year, and that the wait will be worth it. Almost year later to Europe, are you fcking joking me? Axon 7 might still be good phone at that time, but i will certainly buy something else.
End of the year this is surely a joke.
So when is us release?

I'm doubting it, ZTE France tweeted it would be available very soon... End of year isn't 'soon' and I think ZTE wouldn't make such a huge marketing mistake. Would really like to see your source for those tweets... looked for them and they are nowhere to be found...

Wow, that will surely hurt their sales immensely. I'm one of many there are on the fence between the Axon 7 and the OnePlus 3, I'm sure. Seeing as they are at similar price points, and seeing as people won't wait for their tech to be obsolete even before it comes out, many will choose the OnePlus over the Axon 7 if they choose to release it this late.
Asked ZTE France in the tweet linked below : " When will the axon 7 get officially released in France, ZTE UK said about end of the year for Europe... is that true? " they answered very quickly that the official release date will be announced very soon. https://twitter.com/ZTE_FR/status/745193441517273088
The thing is that their twitter is full of teasers and countdowns ( look here https://twitter.com/ZTE_FR/status/745193441517273088 )
And I can't believe that it would be released in France and not in the UK... maybe be a bit more patient guys, I'd say wait until July at least
I want to say that official announcement date will be 28 june 2016 !
7 days from now as an official tweet says "[J-7]" (D-7 in english) !
@djona12: Have you already bought a phone from ZTE to Belgium? Which route did you go? FR or UK?
I really want one! But if they don't release more info very soon, I going to buy something else.

No, never bought a ZTE device before... If availability is the same i think i'd buy in France since the support from reseller would be easier as a french speaking person. But i've bought smartphones from the UK and never had any issues . In the end, it doens't make any differences about the device !
Yeah me too... I really need a new smartphone since my Find 7 can't charge anymore and i need to charge the battery out of the phone...
