Does anyone have any idea when the SBH-20 is meant to be released? I listen to music a lot on my Z and its becoming a hassle already having to mess around with the headphone jack flap. I know there are alternative options but the Sony one seems ideal for my needs and not a bad price either.
Hmm same as the black dock aka no one knows when.

Thought as much, at least the docks (albeit different colours) are starting to emerge. Still seems bizarre to me that Sony have released the device without these accessories being available at the same time.
i think sony decided to release the phone earlier to avoid too much hype for s IV and expecially for HTC One, so they left apart the accessories
Even the other headphones have been changed from New to Coming soon on the Sony Website.
I don't think they rushed the phone, we just rushed the User base! I just believe the phone would be as popular as is it by this point in time. Certain markets just given free docks like 'we don't know when we'll make more' lol

you may want to look at the Nokia BH-22. Slightly bigger than sonys option with an hour more battery and a small led screen to let you know whos calling. I ordered a pair myself to replace my motorola s10.

I think you mean the Nokia BH-221.
It looks nice I wish Nokia didn't take the product page down because it's hard to get specifications, I think it's bluetooth 2.1 + EDR.
Hi all,
I just received an answer from Sony Customer support in France. Still no estimated availability date.
Just have to wait.

AW: SBH-20 Release Date?
The German support told me today that the SBH20 written in the 2nd Quarter appear. So sometime between April and June. So if they do not come in April, I'll buy another. I think it's so annoying to have to wait!
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
SBH20 is due in stock today according to mobile fun. Hurray
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/sony-stereo-bluetooth-headset-sbh20-p38300.htm
does anyone know if it works with headphones with built in microphone and controls? I have Monster iSport Immersion. I don't care if the control buttons on the headphones will work, but I just want to use the headphones because they are great.
Which one is better? the sbh20 or the mw600?
besides the nfc, what else is new? The mw600 has a crisp oled screen, which really tilts the scales in its favour
MW600 supports A2DP 1.0 while SBH20 supports A2DP 1.2 - it's always best to get the newest version as it allows for better sound/power management over BT. Apart from that and lack of NFC - they mostly differ in the design though.
From a brief chat with a Sony rep, i'd like to inform you all that the headset bundled with the SBH20 is the MH755.
the price in Italy (official Sony store) has increased from 39€ to 49€... and in your country?
This is awful!
Still showing as £35.90 on the uk site. Also the flag next to it on the main accessories screen is showing as 'New' rather than 'Coming Soon' so hopefully a release date is just round the corner.

Hi, just thought some of the uk guys would like to know the incredible S will be available tomorrow according to Mobiles.co.uk's twitter account.
Mobilescouk 11:43am
The HTC Incredible S will be available from free on O2 and Vodafone from tomorrow! You could have yours by Saturday!
Whish I could upgrade
That's great, the faster it's released, the faster the price will drop. I'm seriously considering selling my HD2 and buying one of those. But I'm going to wait for some reviews, if its worth giving my leo away.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
Has anyone bought it?
Got mine today (26th), just charging up and see what it's like.
The antenna must be in the rear battery cover, as there is something buried in the battery cover casing, and it has contacts, which connect to contacts in the main shell.
It looks very much like the nfc on my Nexus S, but there is no reference to this in any spec.
The part embedded in the battery cover looks like a wire coil (as nfc is)
I wonder if it'll suddenly be active once 2.3.3 update is made available???
That's curious, would be strange for HTC to keep such a feature under wraps though in the unlikely event this was the case - NFC being one of the main industry buzz words and all that!
flaotlite - can you give us a run down on the speaker quality - that is the loudspeaker on the back? I realise this is not important to some but I'd like to know how it performs when playing back video and when using speakerphone if possible?
Did you buy ths on an upgrade or sim free? I'm very tempted but I don't think it's worth the £499 cpw are asking right now - it's a cut down version of the DHD with a front facing camera and a bigger battery, yet comes in at £110 more expensive!?
With the little info out there at the moment I'm looking forward to hearing of your experience with this device.
Well so far, so good. Battery life 'seems' to be reasonable, will need a good days use whilst at work to really test it though. i'll get back to you on that.
The speaker seems good, it's clear and crisp even with background noise, there seems to be a second noise cancelling mic (as per the Nexus One) on the top of the unit.
I got it as an upgrade, it's a bit pricey SIM free, but i was on a £40 tariff and i got it free, so seems fair.
Thanks for that. Out of interest, do you have a Desire or Desire HD to compare the sound quality to? I'm really hoping it's better this time round.
Would love to see some sample images too if at all possible? There's a real shortage of info out there on this phone currently!
To answer my own question, the speaker is every bit as pathetic as the Desire's - no improvement there.

Yeah I agree which is why I brought the ay as you go for £449. CPW phones are unlock so I'll slap in my 3 sim card and ditch the £10 pop up with O2.
Just brought it 30min ago so will do a more thorough test this evening.
Have to say the build quality is much better than the Samsung GS and the Nexus 2 which are all plastic.

In India the price dropped caused a large number of users to buy this device compared to Samsung galaxy S3 or HTC one x. In fact it is out of stock in some of the popular online stores.
People are buying it due to the hardware specs and I don't think all of them are bothered about the bootloader.

you can be correct, but forums talk, reviews and discussion on the model type, does not really make this one the most popular.
and the fact LG hardly advertise in Denmark about this model. and the combo of forum discussing XXXXX is not there, makes someone less interested that someone says XXXX is here and its great.
just look at ppl buying nexus4 its another LG OEM branded mobile sold in the google tradition, and suddenly people likes LG mobiles? i believe someone said the internals was still as it is in previous LG mobiles, so they didnt really improve, they just got better advetising.

Nexus4 has shown the same as iPhone shows a iFan, that the brand tells more about the product than its quality its made on. that you can take to the bank
LG's bigbrother Samsung is still just one step ahead of LG when it comes to mobile and television and promoting themself on their own label not using Google as you say to sell its name as being better or qualified to be worthy the credit its given.

sadly they do make 2011 models better, but its past tense , their 2012 series are not better and reviews says that their topmodel lm980 is worse than the lw980 from last year, so yes they do make better tv's but that was last year.
lets hope they get better at it in 2013 with the new series coming out. and hopefully the OLED displays shows up in alot more shops.

My LG Smart TV is great!
When I went for it I saw a guy delivering back a samsung smart tv, some defects for what I understood, but the day before another one was doing the same in Mediamarkt....
I bought a F*cking expensive Samsung Fridge. One of those ultra silence, extra capacity comparing external size, A++, etc... The
problem is that its noisy like a truck... I call service (Poland... no comments) and they repair something but, no result. Call them again, this time they said might be something different... another repair, no result once more. If we try to contact Samsung by the internet its worst than LG, at least Samsung polska...
And I have to leave with a fridge that works lowder than my old fridge of 20 Years ago cause theres nothing I can do... I don't speak ****ing polish... Its like being in africa!!!
Well, one day I'll wake up with a very bad mood and I'll throw it out of the window! Than I'll buy other...
By the way, Samsung smoke extractor is not much better than the fridge
Sorry for the OT but, Samsung,... no thanks.

But i'm no fanboy.. i've had like every brand there is TV it's LG, phones its apple/htc/samsung(and some of the lg phones.. nexus 4, optimus g.. i think my phone lacks what i rly like about android), tablet imho ipad is the best choice, PC or mac? for me.. pc.. with that HUGE price diffrences.
Hi all,
Just checking as to what headphones everyone got with their pre-orders, it seems some got the Bluetooth version, so my question is did everyone get that version?
Will be collecting mine from Three at lunch time
I'd have loved the BT nfc ones, makes sense to pair those with the Z. Still a nice pre order bonus though.
Ordered from cpw and have the standard wired ones.

LUCKY BLUETOOTH BOYS!!!
Here's hoping I am equally blessed but I am not holding out too much hope
I am a bit disappointed now, just looked at the different models as I thought they were all noise cancelling headphones, but it seems only the MDR-1RNC are noise cancelling, priced at £449
Never mind though, at least I'll be able to hear the traffic if trying to cross the road lol
It would really make my day if I SonyMobile.com sent out the Bluetooth ones, but something tells me that they're only offering the regular ones. Which, frankly, isn't such a big deal if you ask me - shouldn't be a problem to use with mw600 or similar "adapter-ish".
I got the normal ones in black, I don't know what made me think they were supposed to be noise cancelling though, I must have read it in a review rather than on the Sony offer page...
Normal ones from P4U for me still happy tho
No idea why someone would want wireless headphones over wired ones, unless you're selling on. Wireless is more expensive while lower quality sound. Fact.
I preordered mine on the first day they opened preordering up, Got an email today from P4U, saying "sorry I didn't get it today but It has been sent special delivery before 1pm tomorrow". and I've been upgraded to the Sony MDR-1RBT ones worth £399, even tho they only £248 on amazon.Would have been nice to get the noise cancelling ones tho' lol
I got the wired one.... preordered from carphone warehouse...

The XperiaZ kinda encourages everyone to use wireless accessories. i'm gonna need to buy a SBH20 so that i can plug my headphones into the bluetooth reciever so that I don't have to open flaps on my xperiaZ.
Also going to need a docking station because the flaps are annoying
i preorderd from mobicity, does that mean i dont get headphones?

Sorry but no.
Sacrificing quality (for a higher price at the same time) for style is kind of stupendous.
What's more, I'm not planning to dump my phone into water or take it under the shower. Water resistance is something for emergency situations, if you drop your phone into the sink that it doesn't go bust. I won't refrain from using my phones features like the damn USB port and headphone jack for some misplaced sense of diving desire.
Treat it like the ZL and realize your phone will function with or without water resistance (except under water).

I don't get why all of a sudden people are getting wireless everything for the XZ. the waterproof is a just in case feature, it doesn't mean that you stop using the phones normal features.
Hello.
I have a problem. I want to buy the Z1 but I don’t know if I should.
I already bought the Z1 in November. I was setting it up for about 3 days and then my house was robbed and the phone was stolen. I even not had the chance to use it as a phone…
The insurance company is going to cover the stolen Z1.
In the meanwhile I see all over the internet Z1 yellow washed self-cracked screens, asf that cannot be removed because of warranty and it scratch really bad. Problems with overeating, touch screen sensibility, wifi, etc.
So, was this sad episode some kind of divine intervention or it’s a reasonable choice to buy it again?
I liked the Z1, despite of the internal features, because of the glass and aluminum look. I’m looking also to Samsung s4 and note 3 but they look to plastic for top phones. I like HTC One but only in black which is very hard to find. The 5S is also in my mind. I can discard a large display if the device is ergonomic and pocket jeans friendly.
I need to buy a new phone because my WM HTC HD2 is becoming serious outdated. But for a phone with 4 years of daily use it doesn’t have any scratches in the display or in the back. This guy is tough and never failed me.
Long story short I just don’t want to give a lot of money for a piece of sh… top phone! I just want a phone for the next 4 years.
Thank you all !

I'm an owner of an Xperia Z1 and I must say it is a beutifully designed phone and a superior camera... But then a major problem that I have with it is that touchscreen does NOT work properly. I think you should wait until the 4.3 update comes and see whether the problem is fixed. But I doubt that this is a software problem so better not buy it till the 4.3 update comes and we'll see whether it fixes the problem. Stay tuned to Z1 XDA so you can be sure.
If you even think that Z1 is a piece of sh... top phone, then don't buy it.

He merely stated he is having second thoughts he never said it is a piece of sh*. I feel the same the way I am in the market for a new top end smartphone and I really like the design/features of the Z1 but if you go into the Sony Forums or any other it just seems most users are unhappy and having lots of issues. I understand every smartphone has its own problems but from what I have been reading Sony does not want to acknowledge or fix possible hardware issues that users are facing. This is a very expensive phone and you would expect top notch quality along with service. I will be waiting another month to see what happens before I make my decision.

I must also say that at this moment, i do not have any of the problems stated on this forum (yellow tint, touch screen problem, wi-fi problem).
The major problem that all the z1 users have, is the camera not working with an unlocked bootloader.
But i would still buy it again

My Z1 is on it's way to Sony repair right now because of the touchscreen issue but if I knew that this particular problem could be fixed (or that it occurs just in a certain batch) I would in every circumstance buy the Z1 over any other phone on the market right now.
You'll see people *****ing about every little nitpicky thing in every forum of every device on this website. My Z1 is fine.

Same here with me, not one problem with mine. I don't do rooting or any of that because I'm still learning but when I checked my phone had boot loader unlocked "yes" so I guess I was lucky with that.
I tend to buy phones and sell them on when I get bored with them but I think I'll be keeping the Z1 for a long time. Funny thing is is that I didn't like the Z I had at all.
I also have a Nokia 925 that I love. I have had both the Z1 and 925 since launch and they are both keepers. I have also had a note 2, S4, note 3 and Nokia 1020 this year but sold them all except for the 1020 which I gave to my wife.

This is a very expensive phone and you would expect top notch quality along with service. I will be waiting another month to see what happens before I make my decision.

Very well said, what I think is that Z1 is an excellent device provided that the unit you get is problem free. It's just a matter of hit or miss for a good device. As a Z1 owner (with the touch problem) yeah it's really annoying if you have this and store refuses to acknowledge the problem and worn't replace the unit. Only hope is that the 4.3 update will fix the problem.
Back to the topic, if you think that your z1 being stolen is a divine intervention to not get the z1 again, it's really up to you. It's a great device with a future proof hardware so if you really want it then get it. Just examine the unit carefully, list down the problems that you have read in the forums and how to check them so that you won't be one of the frustrated users who had problems in their units. I wish you luck mate. :good:

What he said is probably the best advice you can get right now. If working it's an excellent device and whatever you decide, do not order it online.
I'm another one just really happy with the phone. I'm on iHacker 1.2 and combined with Greenify it's runs forever. I mean 3days on Battery, just more than fine. If I would buy it again? Absolutely. Is there really an alternative? LG G2, S4, Note 3 are just plastic wrecks to me. And HTC with this ridiculous S-OFF rubbish, thanks I prefer to wait for a bootloader solution which will come for sure very soon.

Someone said there is a International warranty of 1 year on the device if you have a receipt. I am in the same situation, I do not buy the phone online, I pickup the phone in a small store but in different country in europe. Now if I have to go via warranty I don't know where I have to go.
Has anyone received their free bose headphones yet?
I preordered my phone and received notification for successful bode claim which will be delivered within 30 days, long wait.
Also anyone manage to get 2 headphones? I preordered 2 phones so I hope I get 2.
Got mine already.

Hello,
i hope it is ok to post and ask here .
We got the Bose beQuiet headset with our P20Pro and we don´t need it.
If someone in Germany is interested in the headset for a good price (f.E. like 50€ less than amazon ) let me know.
Thank you

Nope. I emailed support and they said would have to pass back to development team.b they started the phone selects the best codec. Reminded them that aac better than SBC. I advised even though the phone shows aac as soon as the headphones connect it reverts back to SBC hopefully a future update will fix. my only concern with this phone has been the updates. Here in the uk still not had the updates that most other people have had to date.

I called support day one and they said the same thing.
Passing to devs but I don't buy it.
If you look at the mate 10 forum aac has been broken for a while

Damn..... Why can't all phone manufacturers just give their customers the features working from day one.
Really frustrating

Especially frustrating when it's already a working feature in android 8, they actually had to break it.
I swapped my bose for sony mx1000 m2 and they used the ldac protocol straight away..
