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.

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

There hasn't been a peep about Xperia Z sales yet. It's been out for more than a month now! So let's go with anecdotal evidence! :angel:
Not sure about the demand but there are quiet a lot of stock around in Australia with very goid price at AU$624.

Officially, no idea but I'm the single IT technician in a company of 300. I got the S2 on the first day and within a few weeks talked around 30 people into buying one. So far I've converted 20 to the Xperia Z.
It's a brilliant phone and not had any of the launcher issues (or any other problems) reported.
Low number of ROM's seems an indicator for devs preference but that may change after reading CM have announced no support for the S4.

i think its very good selling...i was on the way to buy Xperia Z and saw already 3 people with that phone...and in my county it had been just launched
Selling like hotcakes in India.

In Vietnam SONY start selling Xperia Z (C6602) on 30 Apr. Pre-order on 20 March (First 500 will receive MW1 and 4 smart tag or SRS-BTV5 and 4 smart tags).
Price is good too ($800)!

Have you tried JB Hifi? They sell outright the Telstra stock with the same price $624.
shortages in every polish operator.
you have to wait sometimes a week or more.
In Hong Kong the purple Xperia Z is selling especially well, and you'll have to wait until the next batch to get it. Black or white versions are in stock.

They are pushing the Xperia Z vehemently in india. In my City they have posters everywhere and kiosks across malls to portray the Xperia Z's waterproofing capabilities. As much as Samsung rules the smartphone world, they are not a scratch on Sony coming to marketing terms. Walkman,Exmor R,cybershot, Playstation,bravia. They are exploring every opportunity, including keeping the phone submerged in a water tank for people to test.
Thanks for the reports guys. So it seems from these anecdotal reports that it's selling very well indeed.
On Instagram I see a lot of people posting their new Z from Europe and Southeast Asia. Particularly popular in UK, Hong Kong, Middle East countries, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Not a lot of Instagram posts yet from India, but I will take our Indian friends' words!

just mentioning it to the community.
It's sold out in the Sony stores in Auckland, NZ.
Singapore has a hard time keeping purple in stock.

Could it be because the purple Z's are made in smaller batches? Or is it just a really popular color?

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?

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

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.

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...)

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!
Is this phone even going to make an appearance on the US Sony Site? I have a decent amount in Sony rewards points I'd like to use towards a phone for work (need something smaller than my Ultra), and I'm debating between just getting the Z on T-Mobile or waiting for the Z1 LTE.
Um..I don't think you can use points to get phones...

During the checkout process on the Sony Store, I have the option of signing into my rewards account and using points toward the purchase. I doubt the UK store would work with the rewards let alone ship to the US.

I was in NYC a few weekends ago and asked a TMobile store about this phone and they sounded like they weren't going to get it anytime soon. Their Sony rep told them that the Ultra was the flagship for the rest of 2013. Though I just saw another thread where someone said it will be in Sony stores Oct 15 in North America

I would buy direct from Sony. There is a part in the terms and conditions that say if you do not buy it from a authorised Sony reseller, then the warranty may not be valid.
I bought mine off ebay. Its now been 5 weeks and its still not back. I'd never do that again!
If you're a student or college faculty member, you can buy from Sony for 10% off (I think). So it'll be around $585
EDIT: only on the Sony USA store...

there's another idiot who has a NEW one selling for 579+59 shipping, giving customers the impression that a NEW one is that cheap but it's actually at least $600 new. Pisses me off, I remember when ebay was full of those listings where the price is low but the shipping is expensive
