I spoke with AT&T Tuesday and the woman I spoke to said they were picking up the Xperia Z, however they had a callback on it (probably not enough AT&T bloatware and badges) so it would be a little while still. She didn't give me an exact date or estimate, but she did say AT&T is "definitely" (her words) picking up the Z

And so far, only the ZL is being sold unlocked in the USA.
In theory, if you can import the C6602, it should be compatible with AT&T HSPA+ - but 6602s seem incredibly rare, nearly all Zs I've seen are 6603s (Euro LTE, which lacks HSPA1900.)

if you want the c6602 model check ebay, i have not bought from this guy yet but i plan to soon. if you could contact him and ask about the return policy/ exchange policy and post it here that would be helpful (for some reason i can't contact him) and also ask if what's in the box dock? headphones model.

Yes Z isn't available "yet" unlocked in the states without ordering from somewhere else.
The C6602 works with AT&T HSPA + without issue.....no in theory about it. It's what I have been using for the past few weeks.
That's too bad for sony, I guess they won't get a chance to redeem themselves after all.

Xperia T (with LTE)
Rogers have it listed on their website, and it has LTE. $99 with 3-year plan, $525 with no commitment.
I did call Rogers and tried to get one for use on AT&T, but no, they don't sell unlocked phones! 1-800 Rogers1 (764-3771).
http://www.rogers.com/web/link/wire...ductId_Detailed=XPERIATBLK&N=52+11+4294920246.

Xperia T (non-LTE)
Mobilicity has it for $499, NO LTE! along with an assortment of monthly plans. 1 (877) 866-2458.Yebo, they are locked too! Can you believe that?
http://mobilicity.ca/contact-us/
Expansys Canada has it for $569. This in the non-LTE version. This is unlocked, folks. But if you are not in Canada, might as well get one from your local expansys.
http://www.expansys.ca/sony-xperia-t-android-smartphone-black-unlocked-236113/
These are CANADIAN sources. Getting it from "alibaba dot com" and "tumbuktu online" does not count as for sale in Canada, folks. Lots of sources in UK, Europe and Asia, the list would be unmanageable.
Go ahead! You can THANK me now, not later!

Does anyone know if the bootloader on the Rogers Xperia T is unlockable? I know they had the Ion locked down .... just wondering if I should sign a 3 year and cancel it (its cheaper the buying it outright) and unlocking it or to order an international one. They are currently back ordered here so I can't even go and check :s

http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-...peria-ZL-C6506-Android-4-1-W0QQAdIdZ450436593
legit or not?
Although I believe it isn't legit since I used google goggles on the images the ad provides and all images came from blogs so no actual picture of the device to be sold. But just posting it here thought someone from canada might thoroughly confirm it with the seller since the seller is only accepting meet ups for payment.
I HIGHLY recommend this site for all US users who want to get the Xperia Z. Its a company called handtec based in the UK and all their delivery is made over night. I bought my note 2, One X and S3 from them.

Just choose which color you want and click on the link. Its 433 pounds so around 690 US$. We don't have to pay for the vat ( value added tax).

If its carrier locked or unlocked sold through carriers like T Mobile, the bootloader is usually locked. and I personally dont like it when carriers add their brands name on to the phone ><

I have a weird question here... Does t-Mobile allows outright purchase?
I am from Canada and I'm planning some vacation in the States this summer, I wanna buy it there but I am not aware about how the carriers work there.
Some stupid carriers here do not allow outright purchase.
Also, I heard about a law that makes sim unlock illegal in the States, is this actually true? If T-Mobile allows outright purchase, do they unlock the phone, if so, does anyone know the price.
If I manage to get the device, I hope that T-Mobile logo is on the protector and not on the phone... I hate carrier branding on a phone
Also, do you have any idea about the Z Tablet release date?

Yeah they do. They just restructured their plans and you actually get a lower monthly plan cost if you buy the phone outright. Not like AT&T where it doesn't matter.

I haven't found any news on a US release yet either so I purchased the C6903 unlocked international model. It supports the LTE bands for T-Mobile. If you're with AT&T I've read you should get the C6906 model. Mine has shipped today, can't wait to get it!
Also, I ordered through clove.co.uk and will be receiving the Sony Smartwatch 2 towards the end of the month. It's included in your purchase. Handtec.co.uk was also offering this deal.

This us site in Texas have the phone in stock gsmnation.com/sony-mobile-xperia-z1-c6903-unlocked.html
Any Canadian's find unlocked Z1 stock at their local Sony Store this weekend?
All Sony Store in GTA said they are BO & no ETA. The Sony Store website says they have it in-stock but really it BO also.
I had pre-ordered two Z1's last week, both stores just called me today - one after the other >_<
If anybody is interested, I will have a black and white one in hand.
Just a word of warning - it states on the box that only the phone, USB and charger are included. It looks like the warning from Sony salespeople that no headphones are included is correct.
A bit OT, but when you anyone gets their hands on an unlocked Z1, can you extract the firmware? I'd love to flash it over my Rogers Z1.
Btw, the unit I got from Rogers (Wireless Wave) had headphones included.

Silly question -- C6906, correct?
That is correct. C6906 Unlocked. No headphones and no extra screen protector like I've seen on YouTube unboxings. So not only do I have the privelege of paying more for the phone, but I get less for it. Real classy Sony.
How do you go about extracting the Firmware? This will be my first Sony phone - I have been using HTC and Samsung phones prior. And how do you check if your bootloader is unlockable without actually unlocking it?
---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 AM ----------
Ok - looks like I have 2 PMs asking about the Z1s - yes they are unlocked as I had pre-ordered that version last week.
I have not picked up the phones yet, but the stores have called me telling me that they are available and waiting for me.
Now I don't really have any particular aversion to shipping to the US - I presume you all want this model for the AT&T frequencies - but are you all certain that the C6903 won't work in your area? I have seen threads alluding to imported Z1s with working LTE on AT&T ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476868 )
The reason why I hesitate to agree to shipping the phones out is due to the extra costs + custom fees? I will be charged tax on my purchase of the phone, so you are already looking at $791 CAD before any shipping costs. [Ontario has 13% sales tax]
Your best bet is to find somebody from Alberta - their sales tax for the Province is only 5%
To check boot loader unlock, type *#*#7348423#*#* on the dialler. Then go to
Service info > configuration > rooting status.
As far as extracting the rom, it's somewhere in the forum. I'll point you the link when i find it.

Sony stores in Canada are in short supply of the 6906. Other option would be to buy one from Bell, Rogers or Telus and unlock it. Remember that the Carriers are boot loader locked and cannot be unlocked.
I grabbed the last one from the Niagara Falls store this morning.
Is the version on Sony store C6906. The specifications show c6902, no LTE. Please if you had the c6906 version on sony store let me know. Thanks

Yes, C6906 is what is sold in Canada.
All Canadian (for VANCOUVER at least) Xperia Z1 "06" has a bootloader LOCKED.Status says no for bootloader, few of my friends got it through carriers and one got it through sony store and all says the same.
If bootloader matters that much to you then dont get it through any carriers or even the sony stores.
If youre living in Vancouver and you want a "03" Z1 with LTE, you can head over to Lansdowne, called "Mobile DNA." Bought all my phones from them, and they are seling it for $701 CAD before tax. if you pay cash then you dont have to pay the tax.
I put in an order for the white Z1 at the Eaton's Centre last week. I called them today and they said they still have no ETA.

When I was at the Sony store looking for one, they said they had a waiting list and that Sony completely underestimated the demand for unlocked ones. I may just grab a Rogers one and be done with it.

But then you have to wait for rogers to push your OTA updates, that's the only reason I ordered the unlocked one.

Not really... If we can get someone to dump the stock firmware, we can flash that. Though I think bootloader will remain locked.
