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

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
Hello everyone
After being very satisfied with my Xperia arc, I bought the Z. And again I am very satisfied!
A friend of mine also wants to buy a new smartphone. But his budget is around 350 euro's. So he is not getting the Z. But he asked me what to do, either wait for the new Xperia line that's coming or buy the Xperia ion. I don't know what to tell him because I read everywhere that Sony aims to the high end market now. He is really getting on his nerves with his crappy LG phone which isn't even a smartphone.
Is it worth to wait? Or should he get the ion?
Thank you for your point's of view!

In my opinion the XZ is worth to wait, can't your friend like work a month or so to get more money
For now the price of the XZ won't drop.
Tell him to wait or buy LG Nexus 4, Galaxy S3 or HTC One X(X+) for this money.
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

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.

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
Sent from my C6606 using Tapatalk 2
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 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...

Amazon doesn't charge tax also, I have a like new Z1 white 6903 listed on amazon for 568+shipping
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
