I am certain that the 6603 will be in most countries, with only countries that have no LTE to get the 6602 eg much of South America...

Getting the C6906 in U.S.?

Now Canadians had launched the LTE version of Z1 6906, and now any information about U.S. release. So does anyone know how to get a bell/telus locked phone to U.S.? Without, like physically be there

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 :/

C6906 in Mexico?
It looks like the Z1 C6906 model is available in Sony's Mexico store. The price is $1080 US. I want one, but I think I'll wait.

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.

Where to buy? Sony Xperia Z1 C6906

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.

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.

Au vodafone only unlock phones purchased from au vodafone
Before i bought a motorala maxx from Verizon us via eBay.
According to the seller, he send an email to Verizon said he want to use his phone overseas.
Then the Verizon unlocked the phone.
As long as u r a current t mobile customer, u can ask them directly

[Q]Model of Z3C sold in Sony Store

Sorry of this has been asked before but I couldn't find it.
Does anyone know what model of the Z3C is being sold in the US Sony Store (see link below) -- i.e. is it one of the same models that is being sold unlocked (ie. D5803 or D5833)? Which one?

D5833 is for USA, Brazil, Asia
D5803 is for Europe and others
Depending on where you live you could get either..

I have heard it does, from what I can see the model numbers are just to determine what market the unit came from..
The D5833 has extra LTE capabilities but other than that no further difference

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.

I have a D5803 in the US using ATT. I get full coverage and all signals like my ATT branded phones. It should work just as good with T-mobile also.
So...back to my original post question...does this mean that the model being sold on the US Sony Store is the D5803?
Yes it's the D5803 according to Sony.

question, not sure what phone you came from (i have a Moto X/AT&T), i was wondering if you had to get a different SIM from AT&T to fit?

Yes, for AT&T and T-Mobile. Can't say about Sprint and Verizon since I have not tried it.
Anyone know the firmware that comes when sold in store
