Xperia T now for sale at in Canada

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.
Bell has it listed with LTE. $99 with 3-year plan, and $549 no term/no contract. I called them too (sorry America, NOT unlocked!) Bell phone number: 1-888-466-2453.
http://www.bell.ca/Mobility/Products/Sony-Xperia-T#
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

Highly doubt it. My rogers branded arc is locked so I wouldn't see why they would unlock the T bootloader. Unless they have a sudden change of heart.

If you are talking about the phone itself, I ordered it via Rogers wednesday morning, could have received it yesterday evening but wasn't home. So I picked it up at a UPS store this morning
Your best bet is to order it I think for now, no stores have it as far as I know

Did you use the 3$ off coupon ? i ended up with a total of US$524.98. Don't forget to post if you had to pay duty & tax ... will wait for your answer before ordering
The rogers stores in my town don't have the dummy device yet and only have one phone in inventory.

Does this count?

I came across just now an ad that's selling(Not pre order) the Xperia ZL C6506 variant for $650.00
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.
http://blog.handtec.co.uk/2013/01/23/buy-sim-free-sony-xperia-z-black-or-white-craftsmanship-design/
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).

Probably trying to sell a review device or something. I probably wouldn't buy it unless you're desperate to have it ASAP. These review devices aren't always even in the same update stream etc.

Ok... Actually I was indeed planning on purchasing it. But the frequency bands were not compatible here on our country whether it would be for HSPA+ or LTE.

[Q] Canadians..unlocked inventory

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.

[Q] Good idea to buy Japanese version Z1 ??

The Japanese version is even more awesome in terms of spec!!
32Gb memory, IR blaster and IPS screen!!
but... I'm those guys who loves to flash mods/roms and different stuff from this website
will the difference in spec give compatability problem beocz mods in this forum are made for international version Z1??
Could some1 who used to use Japanese version sony phones give me an idea??

No.
the phone is blocked to NTTdocomo bands so its pretty much near useles to use in another carrier (other japanesse carriers are more or less the same)
the only big difference is the IR blaster, and the TV reciever.
the 32gb can be covered by a 64gb sdcard, and all the screens are the same. (LCD with leds)

First Docomo always lockdown the boot loader and will never let you to unlock it, so if you like AOSP, it's better to keep away from it. And also if use other firmware the IR won't work.
BTW, if I remember correctly, when Z begin sell in Japan, somebody says it has better screen than the one use in the international, but later other says that just the different tuning. And this time again to say that different panel use in different region?

It's not disabled on the entire xperia range at all... http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
You do have to have a sim unlocked phone, true, but it is absolutely possible to unlock the bootloader.

Kudos to you my friend, thanks for providing that link, the Sony Xperia SP dose have an unlockable bootloader... 7th one up from the bottom of the provided list here http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/supported-devices

Does unlocking the bootloader make the phone sim free? I don't think it does but I just want to clarify this. Thanks.

No, you need a phone without simlock to unlock the bootloader via the sony site.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I'm screwed both ways then haha, since there's no free unlocking solutions... Any idea how the sim lock bit works? There must be a way to unlock for without needing to purchase a code since its done by software, it's not like a hardware component need putting in or taken out.
Well, I'll buy my code if needs be, but I may buy another that's sim locked and have a play around see what I can find.

I know the SP has an unlockable bootloader but I'm specifically talking about the xperia range locked to the EE network. All sim free xperia and a few of the simlocked ones can be unlocked but I mean none of the EE locked devices can have their bootloader unlocked. The only solution is to get Sony to remove the motherboard and reflash the TA partition and last time I checked they wouldn't even admit it was possible. A sim unlock code will not change the bootloader status.
