It looks like Xperia ZL is not launching in Japan? Anyone knows if its true?
Don't even see it in their products lineup!! i'm looking forward to ZL and not Z
http://www.sonymobile.co.jp/product/
Sony's released plan of the devices is messed up. Everything they said on their announcements didn't come true. And yeah japan should also recieve Xperia ZL as sony did mention that both Xperia Z and ZL will be available on all southeast asian countries before european countries gets it. But look what's happening now. Europe has already demo units and released Xperia Z now but on Southeast Asia only japan got the Xperia Z release and only singapore got a demo unit with them. Rest of Southeast Asia has no news whatsoever about these devices. And yeah my most anticipated device "Xperia ZL" looks like got left out of the dark now also.
Will the ZL released in germany?
Japan.
Yeah.... no news from japan...
I think buy the sim free version from the net, n use it with the Japan's line is the best choice....
well...

That will be great except even with a SIM Free phone you need to have the IMEI registered by Docomo to use it, and they won't register any device they haven't sold.

yup.... so we need to go to docomo to register the ZL IMEI id...
Didn't know Japan is that harsh here in Singapore, it's illegal for the carriers to lock the phones

NTT DoCoMo has officially released pricing for the Sony Xperia Z (SO-02E), due to launch in Japan on 9 February 2013. The price looks equivalent to that mooted in other parts of the world, coming in at 77,280 Yen (£545, €645, $860).
Various pricing options exist for monthly plans and full details can be found : http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/charge/simulation/index.html
Funny how people outside japan crave for the japanese version of Xperia Z yet someone from japan want the international version of the device lol!

Both C6602 and C6603's hardware are the same.So I think u can flash C6603 to C6602.But it may a little difficult.
Flashtool can't flash this cellphone now,but I think it can flash future.

But different cell frequencies are supported between each. Flashing the firmware of the other doesn't change the supported frequencies.

thanks for the link dude. i preordered. im really hoping galaxy s4 is a let down so i get this phone
if gs4 turns out to be good i might go with that.
today i got a mail from gsmnation confirming that the c6602 is available for shipping, but after following the link to make the payment i see that the model in that cart is the c6502 (ZL) instead of the c6602, you could check it out following this link: http://www.gsmnation.com/sony-mobile-xperia-z-c6602-unlocked-black.html
anybody knows what happened? its the c6602 really available now?
Had the same issue with gsmnation, was signed up for preorder notice and got an email today saying it was ready for payment but the item in the cart is the C6502(ZL) and not C6602(Z). I sent then a message asking them to confirm whats going on so we shall see what happens. Been a struggle to find any place that even lists the C6602 as existing for preorder let alone purchase.

the c6602 model?? i think that it's not out yet
---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------
Ok, i got news from GSMNATION.. too bad for it, here is the response i received a few seconds ago:
Hello Gabriel,
The ZL is a regional variant of the Z. It is effectively the same phone. Similar to the Xperia T and TX introduced a few months ago. The differences are minor and cosmetic.
IF anything, on a head to head comparison the ZL 6502 is a later release and a superior model to the Z 6602.
You may view the comparison here.
That having been said the misnomer has already been adjusted to avoid confusion.
Regards,
...
So in resume there will be no C6602 available in gsmnation, the preoder of the phone was a "mistake" and they refer to the ZL model instead of the Z one... misleading advertising?
Ok.. im so sad now.

The ZL is not a regional variant. They are two different phones using the same SoC and similar specs. Differences are more than cosmetic much more so than the TX vs T. Have to wonder what they are taking about.

yeah you can't take what these 3rd party retailers say word for word. they get stuff wrong all the time.
looking for a C6602 model myself for T-Mo.
Just checked gsmnation, is it just me or did they re-add the C6602 version up for pre order?
C6602 is now up on ebay.

For some reason they are listing the 6602 as not supporting T-Mobiles 1700 band for 3g even though the tech sheet for the 6602 says it should support it.
REALLY leary on ordering one if it doesnt support 1700, if I wanted a Xperia Z that didnt support Tmobile 3g I could have avoided the wait and just gotten the 6603.
*edit* It appears that some of the listings indicate no 1700 support and others do not.

I'm more than positive that they didn't update their FAQ's. The specification page on the same posting has HSPA with 1700/1900 so it does support it even with the new farmed spectrum T-Mobile has been doing. I already ordered mine, so I'll let you know if you are curious

Yeah I went ahead and ordered it as well, figured as long as it was the proper model number should be fine and if it isnt can use buyer protection to return it.
Hi everyone,
I live in Turkey , and I want to buy Xperia Z.
I looked at a few sites, such as clove.co.uk / handtech.co.uk / Unlocked-mobiles.uk
Do you have experience in international shipping site which you offer me?
You can find Xperia Z in Istanbul/Kadikoy. I've bought mine last week.
Importing GSM phones from outsite of Turkey is a big pain.

Istanbul is very expensive for me..
so I'm using the Royal Mail from International
Dear cjcelo,
I've bought my Xperia S with Handtec, and my Xperia Z with Clove. Both came in perfect conditions and the support was amazing, in both companies. Handtec support is superb, solved the issue I had with the charger when I ordered the S, even if my order was made from Brazil (I'm also an International Customer).
Both can be recommended.
Erich
Ynt: international order for Xperi Z
You can not import mobile phones to Turkey yourself, it will not pass custom check, so my advice is do not even try it.
Hello,
I've bought unlocked Sony Xperia Z here in UK last summer and I'm going to Japan for holiday this autumn. Do you have any idea if it's going to work or not? If yes with which networks (I would like to get local sim card)? I know that there use to be some limitations but I couldn't find anything definite regarding this phone.
Thanks for your time.

I am planning to buy Sony xperia Z1. In eBay it shows only seller warranty is applicable as it is imported and in MPN it has been put up ebay_SonyXperiaZ116GBUnlockedBlack. what that means ? and will i be able to use that phone in India? any cons in that ?
Ask the seller about compatibility between carriers and which model it is (C69XX)

No Problem it works in India, there are 2 models imported, c6902 (3g only) and c6903 (LTE), i too bought it for a friend (then 3g model).
Also in my opinion z2 is around 27k and z1 24k. shell a few grand more and get the z2. you won't regret it. if shortage in cash, then save up. it's worth the time
