Where to buy? Sony Xperia Z1 C6906 - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the Xperia Z Ultra, and while it is nice, the camera is horrible.
Anyone know where to buy the Xperia Z1 C6906? Or when it will be available?

C6903 has following bands: LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600 - C6903
Does this mean we can use C6903 on AT&T 4G LTE?

Only in areas with band 4, which is very seldom for att

does anyone know where the c6906 model might be available to buy?
or if anyone has one for sale?

I know C6903 runs LTE for T-Mobile and the C6906 runs LTE for AT&T. It may depend on what LTE bands AT&T uses for your area so you'll want to check first.

Anyone know where to buy the C6906?
I want it, nay I need it......lol

omegacell is selling an unlocked, but Bell or Rogers branded Z1 C6906 for 780 CAD. They do ship to the US.

I can vouch for Omegacell. I have bought several phones from them in the past. Martin is the guy I talk to over there. They do have some of these in stock right now, I believe they are the Bell C6906 version unlocked.

Very nice find. I got supremely impatient and had a friend ship a Sony store unlocked one from Canada for me. I'm curious if the Bell version has any bloatware; for the first time every I've got a phone with no carrier bloatware and I'm loving it!

s the X1 in Sony Canada store actually C6906? They state the model number is Z1GENERIC, so I have no idea if it is or not.

The site may state that, however, it is the C6906 model. The model in the US Sony store is up for debate though, according to their website, it's the C6902 model but that doesn't make too much sense. I guess Sony really doesn't want to market this phone in the US.

It will work on some carriers besides T-Mobile that use some of the same bands, but I'm not sure of which ones. You can Google "Xperia Z C6606 tech specs" to see. Or check it out on the Sony Site. It has tech specs and gsm bands listed I think.

[Q] Sony C6602 Working in Canada? C6602/3 Speedtests?

Has anyone been able to import a c6602 into Canada and have it working on Rogers or any other carriers 3g network?
Snapshots of speedtests would be awesome...
I would also love to see speedtests of the c6603 in Vancouver with Rogers
I have ordered the c6602 and should be here in Winnipeg by Thurs. I will update how it works on bell as I use it.
I received my c6602 today in winnipeg. I am operating on bell using 850 1900 bands and have speed tests over 8 mbps. I ordered my white c6602 from omegacell.com I think it would be nonsense ordering c6603 considering ppl in GTA have ordered it and do have the lte bands required and lte still doesn't work. Lol. I'm completely satisfied with 8 mbps. .

Forgot to take a screenshot but I have a c6603 and I get about 7 mbps in Vancouver on Rogers. I'm hopeful somehow we can get LTE on this thing. I'm sure missing it.

Wouldn't the T-Mobile version be locked to T-Mobile? If you pay it off in full will T-Mobile give you an unlocked model? I wonder how quickly the HSPA+ model would get flagged on medianet.

Well, I am now having the C6602 HSPA+ version of Xperia Z. Frankly, the speed is satisfactory, but after I tasted the LTE, it seems to be slower and slower
No, they won't sell it to you if you're not their user. And even though you got a way to get the device and pay the full retail price, it will still be locked to Tmo.
Rogers now have the device for 599.99.....I really need to find a way to get that one!

Did you try using it on the cheaper medianet plan or only a standard smartphone data plan? I have no problem with HSPA speeds if I'm paying for HSPA speeds :/

All are the same except for the fact that they are locked to the respective companies + different bloatware - and of course the bootloader is locked.
There is also a 4th option - purchase the phone from Sony Stores directly - and it will be factory unlocked just like iPhones at Apple stores.
Rogers currently has the cheapest listed price - but they will charge $50 for unlocking the phone (as will all the other carriers) - not sure if there are other costs as well - I have read that the listed prices are only valid for Rogers customers. You may need to sign up for a plan and quickly cancel.
Also factor in the sales tax.
I'm currently on the C6906 model my Canadian friend gave me that he got from the Sony store. It is working perfectly fine on the AT&T network here in NYC and I'm getting LTE. It's kind of weird seeing HSPA+ sometimes but either way, I'm loving this phone. The Z1 that Bell and Telus carry will work on AT&T's network but only if you get Bell or Telus to unlock it after purchasing it off contact. There is absolutely no bloatware on the Sony unlocked version (guessing there is on the carrier models) but there are also no headphones.
I'm not sure if or when the U.S. is getting the C6906 model but I'm sure they'll be popping up around the internet for everyone to purchase soon.

D5833 Model on TMo US LTE

I have been having problems getting LTE on my phone and I think I have found the cause. Apparently there are two models of this phone, the D5803 and D5833. I have read the the 33 model is for Asian markets and 03 is supposed to work for US and Euro markets. Is anyone using the D5833 and succesfully getting LTE to work on T mobile?
I currently have the D5833 and have had no luck getting 4gLTE to work on this phone. plz help
Won't work. Doesn't have the appropriate radio to consistently get LTE in the U.S.

Pretty sure this is wrong. D5833 does Not have correct bands for LTE on AT&T or T-Mobile.
Right- it's the other way round- D5803 is US, South America. D5833 doesn't have the required US bands.

you can check the bands in which the two models work on. and see if your country and carrier uses those bands. some countries can use either but some countries needs one specific model because of the freq bands used.
That varies by phone model and brand. Apple and Samsung can load quite a few bands in a single model. Sony tends to have fewer bands in a given model, though D5803 has quite a few by Sony standards. I believe D5803 is the model sold in the UK and that model does also work for US LTE.
