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.

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

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
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.

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.

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.

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 was at best buy other day and asked the rep in the mobile section and he told me that they would not carry the n6, but he could have been wrong or stalling.
I called best buy after seeing an article that they would carry the nexus 6 and they told me that they were not going to carry it.
Why don't you just get it directly from AT&T website and have it delivered to you? Inventory for the n6 is very weak meeting it's demand right now.

Exactly what he said lol I'm glad no one where I live actually knows about the Nexus 6 or wants one here, So I was able to wait 2 - 3 days and my Local T-Mobile Store still had it for sale.
The problem with BB is that they seem to charge an extra $50 for the phone if you want to pay MSRP for it. When I was looking at the Note 4, they were $50 more than Verizon and refused to price match. Maybe they do that to make up for the no restocking fee.....

Ya, you have to get it from the ATT website as the stores were ordered to send back their shipments. Even if you do get it from ATT you will get some "extras" that you probably don't want from them.

The "extras" can be removed, in my opinion, just get whatever method gets you the phone fastest as you possibly can.
Like the title says I bought a nexus 6 from someone off craigslist. Well I traded a unlocked Samsung galaxy note 3 and a T-Mobile Sony xperia z for it and when I look up the imei number this is what shows. Now the phone works and does not have any issues at all and the guy I got it from says that he got it as a gift and it is paid off that it just has not changed in the system yet. Any thoughts on this? Also I have called T-Mobile and have chatted with Motorola through there online live chat and they both have told me that the phone is good to go. Just does not make sense to me lol thanks.

thats nice of them, i wouldnt believe them though if they said they would replace it if it gets blacklisted. would be good for you, but a bad move for them as a company. then anyone could get a phone, not pay for it, then send it to them for a new one.

First thing I would do is go to https://imeidata.net/ and look up the imei. It will tell you about the status of your phone, warranty all sorts of useful information. It will tell you if the phone is INW (in warranty) or OOW (out of warranty)
Second thing I would advise you to do is attempt to submit a repair claim at Motorola:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/mcp/service/.
If you can make it to the step where it asks if you want to do an advanced exchange or regular exchange, then its still under warranty and it'll work. Just going through the step does not submit a claim so as long as you don't to the end which would be a screen telling you it is submitting a claim.
And to your initial question as to what that means, basically it means that someone bought that phone and was making monthly payments towards it. When they sold it to you, the balance of the phone was not paid off to whatever carrier it was purchased from (most likely t-mobile as i'm not sure other carriers allowed financing like that at the time of the N6). To get that removed, you would either have to find out where he bought it and pay off the balance, or just live with it and as long as its covered under the moto warranty, you can just swap it if the time arises for that need.
Well I guess there still is honest people in this world lol. Rechecked the imei number again today and this is what I found haha
