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.

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!

i already got the phone from sony centre nunawading :good:
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.
Sent from my gorgeous White Xperia Z
Could it be because the purple Z's are made in smaller batches? Or is it just a really popular color?
A lil old..but for those asking for sales -

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.

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

So I know the honami is coming out. Yes it looks sick, but my nexus is slowly dying (it was recovered from a friend in a sink accident). I'm gonna need a new phone soon. I would like to wait for the honami however, I don't have 580$ to plop down on a phone upfront. So the t-mobile purchase plan makes a lot of sense and works well in my situation (plus it ends up being the same price as the unlocked phone at the end, unlike some of their other offerings). So I guess I'm asking for your opinion, buy the Z now, or wait till the honami is released, and hope it comes to t-mobile? Thanks guys and gals!

as u know xperia z was for Q1-13 so the features and capabilities are for that time
like S.S4pro and 1.5 Quad But i couldn't see any slow or bad responsibility from X Z anyhow It has Quad core and 2GB RAM and gr8 software support from sony (xperia developers) and other developers & AOSP (something that Honami won't get it)
But Honami is Quadcore 2.2GHz on S.800 and it means it s SO fast
if u don't wanna spend lot of money so xperia z is one of the best choice (and in xperia product best choice )
:good:
Well I still really want it, but according to t-mobile I can't get it with the free speakers and free shipping because that's not applicable for upgrades, only new lines. Maybe I'll wait and see now instead.

Honami will be out probably in November/December like the T, so, If you guys in America got the Z with 5 months of delay... Don't hold your breath too long.

I've been a mobile customer for three yrs with five lines I just got me and my son xz yesterday delivered and I got free overnight and speakers with both upgrades don't know why they told you that,I'm on that jump now so maybe the honami.will come to tmobile
Sent from my C6606 using Tapatalk 2
Did you have to call for that? Or were you able to order it online? When I went to order online, I clicked "upgrade my phone" and at the end there was no option for a free speaker or free shipping.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4 Beta
You are correct but it will ship with the speaker. I called CC and they said they would refund the shipping as I bought the phone. I love the phone, purple is very cool.

I know how t-mobile works, however if you're on their website and click "manage my account" they have an option called "upgrade my phone" which you click to buy a new phone from them. What I described is exactly what an upgrade is, a new phone. How it's paid for doesn't make it something else.

I didn't get free shipping ($7.00 for ground) and it's supposed to be here tomorrow. I'm hoping i get the speaker. I ordered the phone online as soon as it went live. I called CS and they credited me the shipping fee, but it looks like I'm not the only one who had the issue.
The Z is a stop-gap for me. I signed up for Jump and hope the honami comes to T-Mobile.

First off like already stated it still comes as a upgrade online even though your on the value plan, also I didn't select the speaker there was no option it just came, and I also had to call to have shipping credited, also joined jump in hopes of the honami coming but if it's like the xz I won't hold my breath

If the honami comes out at the same price as the Z, I'll probably end up buying it unlocked instead of waiting on T-Mobile. However, this is all up in the air till I see the new nexus.

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 guess I'll wait a week and find out then, thanks.
I'm really confused at the moment because there is no news of new phone releases from Sony .
I dont know how prices will drop . But , I've been waiting from Jan for sony to release some phones so that i can buy z3 .
Already been 5 months and no sign . Getting frustrated a little .
I like Z3 compact as i dont want bigger phone .
The price here in India is around Rupees 34.5k .
Also , I'm using the classic Nokia N70 from past couple days as my Xperia Sola DIED !
Guys , tell me what to do . I can't wait for more than another couple of months (at max 1-2) .
I'm thinking of buying this phone in 2 days and the prices are really great here in the UK . I can't see the prices dropping much more before the end of this year although I can't say much about Indian prices.

As you said, there is not even a rumor about a new compact being released anytime soon. The last compact was released in the last quarter of 2014, so I would not expect another to be announced before Q4 of 2015. So, basically a year interval for compacts is the best we should hope for. And from what rumors there have been about its specs, I don't see a reason to pay a premium for it over the Z3C.
I agree. Maybe in 5-6 months there will be a new compact. Likely just an incremental upgrade. So I would just get it now.

It's 33k in Bangladesh XD I like how Sony phones are so cheap around here. Everything else is overpriced By the way, go for it. Amazing phone. When buying, just check if the display is blueish. Get one with good white balance (warmer colours). A quick comparison between the settings menus will show which phone has warmer or colder colours

Thanks Guys for the quick reply . I too have the same opinion . Doesn't seem anything will drop before 4-5 months .
Also make sure you get one under warranty as there are a few reported issues with build quality...
Lamo, i've bought mine 2 weeks ago for 340 eur, thats should be arround 25k in ur country...
