How well do we think the Xperia Z is selling now the Pre-Order buzz is over?
It's 2nd in the Buymobilephonea.net top sellers list, behind the iPhone 5, but ahead of S3.
With the HTC One and S4 about to come out where do we think the XZ will position itself in the sales table? I think overall Sony will outsell HTC (not by much) and Samsung will easily remain on top.

About what I'd say too. Sony did a smart thing by getting the Z out in stores before the S4, but there are a lot of Samsung fanboys (as rabid as Apple fanbois) who will storm to the shops the moment the S4 is out.
No.1 in UK as well. And strong sales all over Europe

Delayed in Australia because of the European sales - probably

i don't think it is selling well, because they cut the price already on clove.co.uk.

Lots of reports about sell outs in Japan, Germany ect.. Nothing official though.
Almost all retailers in india are reporting that the black and white models are " out of stock" and a wait period of 1 week for the purple one. Ditto for the online retailers too. So yeah, i guess maybe it is a sellout in India too, just a few days after the launch on tuesday....
Dead cookies leave no trails...
According to Digitimes, all shipments aimed at markets such as France, Germany, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan were fully booked before they even reached their targets
In France, we sold more in one day in our online store than we sold in 12 weeks in mobile devices.

Nothing is free in a "free" bundle. Ever.

I got my xz for 218Sgd with a free headphone worth 175Sgd. Now the prize of xz drops to 198Sgd but without the headphones.Yes nothing is free,but paying 20 dollars extra for a 175 dollars headphone is really worth it. hehe
I'm looking at getting an Xperia Z (there just happens to be someone nearby selling it) and then trading it 1 to 1 for an HTC One (or maybe an S4) when it's out and about, would that work? They're about the same cost, I'm just wondering if they're about the same value. Basically don't want to be stuck to it.
Sv: Xperia Z Value
Well I suppose it's only a question you can answer. It's all about preference. IMO the Xperia z is an excellent high end phone. You can always keep it if you fall in love.

True that, but I meant from a economic standpoint, is it fair to trade a Z for a One?

According to clove.co.uk, HTC One is £510 inc. VAT and XZ is £498 inc. VAT. So it's almost the same

Thanks, ran out of thanks today, I'll see if I can thank you tomorrow
I would never assume I can change a phone for another 1 for 1 after buying one as the newer phone will always be the most sought after. I would say once the S4 and HTC One are released the Z will be worth £350 at best. I bought mine for £450 brand new.
I wouldn't trade an S4 for Xperia Z 1:1. S4 will be priced higher due to its commercial status.
Side note: I traded my 6 month old S3 for a 3 week old XZ no expenses paid

Wow, how'd you manage that? The guy who lives near me selling this thing is asking $600, down from $700. I offered an S3 but he wanted it + $250.
I put it on Gumtree (UK version of Craigslist) and got an XZ offer from a fool

Hi there.
I'm interested in buy Sony Xperia V. I'm living in Poland, in this country this phone is cost really expensive, this is around 550 EURO (This is 2x payment that earning normal employer). So I thought about buy this one, from other country. Is there anyone known any wholesale company which is delivering that Phone to Poland?
I found two shops
android-enjoyed.com/sony-lt25i-xperia-v-tsubasa-white-unlocked.html
expansys.com.hk/sony-xperia-v-lt25i-unlocked-pink-236062/
But this is still too expensive for me. I think that is any place on the world where selling it cheaper.
Let me help you but in our native language too.
Gra nie warta świeczek, ten telefon jest zbyt drogi jak na polskie warunki. 550 euro to niemałe pieniądze i chyba obydwaj dobrze o tym wiemy
Domyślam się, że chcesz wodoodporność, tak? Jeśli naprawdę telefon z właściwościami Xperii V jest Ci potrzebny, sugerowałbym Xperię Z, która lada moment osiągnie magiczne 1500 złotych. Póki co trzyma poziom ~1750. Także zamiast grzać się na V'kę, pomyślałbym o Zetce
Not worth buying here in Poland. 550 euro for a phone is not a cheap deal and we both know that. I guess you want a waterproof phone, right? If yes, then you should think about Xperia Z, not V. It will soon cost around 350 euro, but for now it stayed at about 420. So instead of looking for a V, you should look for a Z.
Tapped from The Bond Phone!
i don't know the prices from germany but most of the time things are much cheaper in germany than in the netherlands (where i live).
so maybe you could search there, it's close to poland.
here in the netherlands, the cheapest price for the xperia v is 400 euro's.
Z is too big for Me. V is optimal.
Germany? Not that way. Too expensive.
Have you tried Amazon? They have it there 380 usd free shipping.

I bought mine from here yesterday for US $350
unfortunatelly not delivering to Poland
Edit. Shipping to Germany is +48$ its close Poland, so this is still too expensive.
Im looking for price around 335$ w/Shipping.

I bought my Xperia V from there actually, got my phone within a week. However, I've seen some few bad reviews online, so I guess caution.

@up they counted you any additional cost? Like country tax or duty? Where you from? This shop is in australia right?
I didn't get any extra costs like taxes or anything, just the shipping cost of course. And the store says it's in Australia, but is actually operated out of Hong Kong, hence the low prices; that doesn't mean it's bad though. ;P
I live in Australia, and the shipping cost was about 20 dollars Australian, which is around 20 USD.

Shipping to Poland is 45$. It really aches.
Bummer :/ Well I wish you the best in your Xperia V endeavour.

Hi guys, I am a Xperia ion user and i am thinking of changing my aging phone to a Xperia V soon. So i would like to ask you guys whether is there any bugs in the latest JB update or any hardware issue like phone body crack etc? Thank in advance
Anyone know a UK based place to buy the ZL. Don't want to get hit with customs and there charges by buying outside.
A few sellers on Amazon have the ZL in stock. Expansys don't seem to have it.

Mine is a white C5503, it cost 350€ (506 AU$ = 471 US$), shipment included. Since both C5502/03 aren't available in EU - yet ? - (I live in France), I had to import it from Australia.
Bought it at techrific
Mine is a Black C5502 (T-Mobile USA HSPA+ support) for $380 shipped to the US last month.

How come mine is so expensive?
Bought it the first month after its launch, cost me MYR $1500, which is about USD $465...

I got it from lowyat.net, someone got AP C5503 set from HK, roughly after 1 month it's released in MY, that's why it's slightly cheaper.
My exact price is rm1480 too
right now still official Sony still not selling c5503 right?
I got mine on eBay through bids. I was lucky enough to get it at $380 USD

interesting to see how much the price may vary from country to coutry... btw, I made a mistake, mine cost 350€, which is about 471 US$....the single shipment cost me 71 US$... doh !
Mine is around 470USD, brought in HK. White color. Cheers!

yeah it rocks ! for me this phone has the ideal screen size so it's still usable with one hand and is powerful enough for everything. the only problem, like for all Sony phones since the beginning, is the TFT technology. I wonder why the hell Sony did not implement IPS screens earlier.
Hello Ilko (français également),
The price on techrific has decreased to AU$424.00, do you recommend me this website to order my Xperia ZR?
It appears to be the cheaper price i found.
hey alex
yeah it was the cheapest I've found too. Shipment is a bit expensive, but for international deliveries they use Fedex. They provide a very good support (quick responses etc), and I received mine in 5 days. Also know that customs fees may be applied...

"Custom fees"... you mean taxes? (douanes, etc...)
ouais : )
50€ de douane pour moi, remboursable car c'est à titre de prévention, c'est une procédure automatisée chez Fedex..
Bought my black C5503 from Mobyshop, Far East plaza, Singapore.
HK model, no local warranty and the store guy needed 1 day to get it from his source and the device works as advertised.
Negotiated price: S$ 470
Best mobile phone i've owned yet. Even if my last 2 were Qwerty sliders. Miss the tactile feedback.
Hello guys,
I am also from France, I got my C5503 from Digitaland (Hong Kong), for 390€, tax and shipping fees included.
am i the only one with a green device?! jeez guys! this green/teal color is amazing! realy beautiful.
On my side I thought that the white one would win, but the black seems still much demanded. So sad!! : D
Made in ZR
White C5503 bought in Manila, Philippines for around $450. Was planning to get the mint green, but they only had the C5502 in that color and my cell service comes with LTE, so I settled for the white 4G model and got a mint green case for it.
The C5502 goes for around $420 here. You can also pay more for an extended Sony warranty which comes with a few more "freebies", but I just got the basic set. I've also seen the Xperia A being sold locally for around $480 but only in pink!
