I don't think anyone from the Netherlands got them. Unless they ordered from another country.

Did sony upgraded the shatterfilm on the latest xperia phones that make the extra protecter unnecasery or something? Or just cost reduction? (for some countries)

Most of us pre-ordered and got an extra item instead.
Some got the Sony MDR-1R
Some got the DK-26
Some got bluetooth speakers etc etc
Maybe that's the reason. I don't think people can still get those items anymore when they buy the phone, but these without the protector included are still from the old batch.
Who knows...

New z1 with dust under display.

So I just received my xperia z1 yesterday from clove and after spending the whole night setting it all up painstakingly, I found 2 small specks of dust under the display. Seems the QC isn't terribly good -- anyone else face any similar ssues with the first batch of phones?
I'm now waiting for clove to get back to me. Sigh.

No issues here... Is it under your screen protector?

glad you got a good unit! I'm contemplating what to do now, as clove days I can either return the device or I can get a "discount".

If you are unhappy with the dust then best to get another unit, it would anoy me knowing it was there

Where you sending it from? If it's defective which it is then surely they should pick up the return postage?

I got the device from Clove but I'm in Hong Kong. Just spoke to their customer rep and he says I either send it back and bear the shopping cost or receive a "discount" for the existing unit. Its my fault I suppose for not checking on returns earlier!!

That's not very good in my opinion. Did you pay import charges too? If you did and you send it back then they send you a replacement and they do not declare it as a repair then you will probably pay import charges again, is the discount enough that you can live with the phone?

no import charges (thank god). I'm thinking of just returning it for a full refund and wait for the device to be launched here. But I also want to use it, so I'm torn.
they have yet to revert on the discount that they are willing to offer citing that they are extremely busy with the other z1 orders! I'm sp frustrated as the phone is all set up and its now in the box, and I have to use my wp8 in the meantime.

If the discount was alright then I'd live with it until you can lay your hands on another then eBay the one you have, if you don't lose any money then you could buy a new one, at least then you can just use the one you have for now

[Q] $634 For a Second Hand Experia Z

I had a friend who received a deal from another friend for a 2nd hand Experia Z at $634. Is this reasonable? Do you guys know how much is the price of a second hand Experia Z? Thank you so much!

I've paid 320€ (~$440) for one month old xperia Z... I think $634 is too much... in Europe you can find it new for 450€ (~$620)

A *new* Xperia Z (C6603 = 4G/LTE model) is now €389.09 on Amazon.de. That's approximately $535, so $634 for a 2nd hand is way too much.

I literally just got a refurbished C6606 (tmobile usa variant) for $240 USD.

A month old z in Singapore c6603 cost about 350$

I paid 320€(in april) for 1 month old in Slovenia, now they are about 280-350€
so $634 is to much

In Greece you can find it new for €350 ($482) I have no more to say....

[Q] Xperia ZR or Note 3 Neo ?

It will be my first android device. Had been using Symbians and iPhones since ages.
When I was looking around, found Xperia line to be disgusting when I heard the reviews from my friends who are facing problems to get their batteries replaced. Sony center is asking for about 15000 rupees (half the phone's MRP).
Anyway, what do you guys suggest between Xperia ZR (available for very cheap 17k and a removable battery) v/s Note 3 Neo (about 27k) ?
My usage are centered on Web Browsing (3G) and Emails for 95% of times, rest 5% is texting, calls etc. No games, no movies/videos, etc. Have iPads for those.
Or some other device in the similar price range, you would like to recommend? (Not finding it worth to spend 35k+ for an android phone).
Any suggestion will be a great help !!

Get ZR.or moto x

Price

Is 665 € too much for a phone like this
Sent from my D6503 using XDA-Developers mobile app

If you pay that much for it, then yes, but I doubt it would stay at this price for long. With so many higher spec phones available, the real market value of the XP is probably closer to 600 Euros at launch and should fall rapidly in 6 months.

I still can't believe Sony is choosing to release this phone this late.
Then when it doesn't sell because people picked up other phones, they're not going to be able to understand what went wrong.
