There hasn't been a peep about Xperia Z sales yet. It's been out for more than a month now! So let's go with anecdotal evidence! :angel:
Not sure about the demand but there are quiet a lot of stock around in Australia with very goid price at AU$624.

Officially, no idea but I'm the single IT technician in a company of 300. I got the S2 on the first day and within a few weeks talked around 30 people into buying one. So far I've converted 20 to the Xperia Z.
It's a brilliant phone and not had any of the launcher issues (or any other problems) reported.
Low number of ROM's seems an indicator for devs preference but that may change after reading CM have announced no support for the S4.

In montenegro I have to wait a lot of time till the phone is available,and not in a sony store,but I have to custom order it from shady phone shops
In Vietnam SONY start selling Xperia Z (C6602) on 30 Apr. Pre-order on 20 March (First 500 will receive MW1 and 4 smart tag or SRS-BTV5 and 4 smart tags).
Price is good too ($800)!

Have you tried JB Hifi? They sell outright the Telstra stock with the same price $624.
shortages in every polish operator.
you have to wait sometimes a week or more.
In Hong Kong the purple Xperia Z is selling especially well, and you'll have to wait until the next batch to get it. Black or white versions are in stock.

They are pushing the Xperia Z vehemently in india. In my City they have posters everywhere and kiosks across malls to portray the Xperia Z's waterproofing capabilities. As much as Samsung rules the smartphone world, they are not a scratch on Sony coming to marketing terms. Walkman,Exmor R,cybershot, Playstation,bravia. They are exploring every opportunity, including keeping the phone submerged in a water tank for people to test.
Thanks for the reports guys. So it seems from these anecdotal reports that it's selling very well indeed.
On Instagram I see a lot of people posting their new Z from Europe and Southeast Asia. Particularly popular in UK, Hong Kong, Middle East countries, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Not a lot of Instagram posts yet from India, but I will take our Indian friends' words!

i already got the phone from sony centre nunawading :good:
just mentioning it to the community.
It's sold out in the Sony stores in Auckland, NZ.
Singapore has a hard time keeping purple in stock.
Sent from my gorgeous White Xperia Z
Could it be because the purple Z's are made in smaller batches? Or is it just a really popular color?
A lil old..but for those asking for sales -

Does anyone know when the new X will be available in the UK?
I'm just waiting for the Buy button to become available so I can press it.

From what I have heard it will be before the end of the month. Amazon will have stock from the 30th for standard 16GB models.
I would take a guess and say that the option to buy direct from Motorola through Moto Maker will come this week with delivery within 7-10 working days.
you can now buy it in germany but the website doesn't allow shipping to holland, looks like i am out of luck
I hope it comes this week as I'm after a 32GB model and don't mind pre-ordering it.
Anyone any the wiser yet? I find it confusing the amazon uk page has the resin back one to be released on the 30th, and the leather one to be released on the 15th oct....?
The basic 16GB one has now gone on sale in Amazon UK.
Still no order button on Moto Maker site yet.

It says shipping from October 7th. I think there will be a slight delay as it has also been the case in the US for Moto Maker orders. There seems to be a part backlog from China.
Yeah true
I've just pre ordered a black leather one from Clove.co.uk - expecting to dispatch Oct 3rd I'd think it'll be delayed further but lets see
Really desperate for this phone too. I've been waiting for far too long.
Amazon UK, Clove, Mobilephonesdirect, all have the 16GB models.
I'm looking for the 32GB one...
Does anyone know if US warranty will be honored in the UK?
Thinking of ordering the 32GB from motomaker in the US.
Fair enough, i've found 16GB (well 10GB actual) is ok for me. Are you sure you can even order from the US motomaker? I tried just now and its 'locked' to US when selecting country to ship to...

I've got a friend who can mail it to the UK.
So if US warranty works in the UK, I wouldn't mind ordering it from there.
Since the OTA unlocks all LTE bands, so it should work with LTE networks here.
I asked Motorola when the Moto Maker 32GB edition will become available but they said they're not allowed to say.
Unlocked Mobiles has it for £395, but I don't know how much stock they have. Can't see anyone else with any at all.
I have been repeatedly tweeting Motorola UK and US asking for a release date for both the standard and MotoMaker models, but they say nothing other than "soon". This is a really, really bad launch. Worse even than the 2013 Moto X. Feels like they don't want anyone to buy one
Ordered mine from Motomaker last night. Estimated delivery is 13th October. It's expensive, but with no 5" Nexus coming it's the best way for me to get L, and I loved the original so we'll see how it goes. I've been light on the customizations so I can always sell it on if I don't like it.
Good idea
Ordering mine through moto maker tonight. Cancelled my order with clove as I'd prefer some customisation, I'll post my estimated delivery time here. Does anyone know which courier they use?
Cheers

I was going to go for the turquoise as it looks really nice in the photo on the Motorola site, but I don't know whether to go for the white or black front. I'm also looking at the Royal Blue back but the previews on Moto Maker aren't particularly good.
I'll update if I get a shipping notification. Ordered about an hour after it going live and there is such a dearth of hype on this device that I'm hoping I'll be front of the dispatch queue.
They've really flopped with this launch. Imagine if Apple sold a similar concept - design your own device. Everyone would go bonkers!
Apparently Clove has Black Resin and the White/Bamboo one in stock today, so if people want one sooner that might be the way to go. The black one actually doesn't look nearly as boring as I thought it would.
Also - really hoping that they send us the European model with the correct LTE bands. I've heard that the US Pure Edition doesn't have support for 3's LTE which needs bands 3 and 20.
The Moto Maker UK site is now allowing orders to be processed. There is now a Buy button.
Just waiting for my damn credit card to arrive!!!!

Yep, see above. Been live since Wednesday evening.
I would like to buy the phone on one of these websites but they are out of stock for almost 1 month. They also keep pushing the "IN STOCK" date and let people to buy the phones even when they are still out of stock...
Are they waiting for delivery from China and the phones are grey import, or why is this happening? Thanks.
It could be that Sony recalled a batch. In the end we can only speculate. It's weird that both companies don't have any stock left.

Sony is selling in US market now and may be having difficulty keeping up with demand. Ship dates they post are based on stock estimates coming from Sony and when Sony pushes their stock dates to the resellers then Clove / Handtec update those same dates on their websites.
handtec
I've just got mine from Handtec , they dont have any in stock , but have been emailing me every day with an update , they said this week they will have stock . lets see !
It seems that the compact device has bigger demand than Sony was expecting.

Well they were the first to cover the demand for a flagship spec phone in a "compact 4.6" factor.. Hate those watered down mini alternatives.

I was hoping this is the case too.
Sony has seen the problem with fragile glass and has quietly gone and fixed the issue behind the scenes and is now producing better units... fingers crossed this is the reason anyway.
I've asked yesterday in Handtec chat when the phone will be in stock, the answer was "end of this week". Will wait
Its Wednesday.. both clove and handtec have said it will be in Thursday !... Handtec did say to be did i want my money back ? or am I happy to wait ...
On Handtec.co.uk is stated:
Availability: Due in Soon - Order Now (Expected date 27 Nov, 2014)
It's been sold out since mid October...
On Clove.co.uk is stated:
SOLD OUT. Further stock delayed until 14th November (sold out since mid October and stated: Further stock delayed until end of October, the until 11th November, until 13th November, now until 14th November)
What the heck is going on? :crying:
Contacted Handtec today regarding my order - initially told at the start of the week to expect delivery end of week. Told yesterday expected stock on friday/monday. Told today Sony have pushed back delivery of stock for 2 weeks!
Ok, I think it's time to buy the phone somewhere else..

Is this true? Source?
I got mine a few weeks ago and I'm panicking because Case-Mate is still out of stock and I'm scared of cracking the glass. Should have I waited for the fix?
Last week there was a note on clove.co.uk, that Sony z3c will be in stock on November 14th, and i saw it in stock during the day, but around 4pm the black model becomes out of stock till 24th...
Got mine from handtec on Monday , they said they had some "emergency " stock in , they have been over whelmed by the demand , so its first come first serve basis.
But there still a note on Handtec that will be in stock on Nov 27th. How did u know that they have anything?

Buy it from mobileohonesdirect.co.uk
Despite another user on this forum having a negative experience with them, I received my handset within 2 days, and despite my gripes with the somewhat inconsistent camera quality, I even rang them up to initiate a refund and the woman I spoke to was very helpful.
Just need to decide whether I actually want to send it, and then fork out so much more money for an iPhone 6...
I don't think they provide international shipment. Will wait for stock at clove or handtec
For those interested: available on www.clove.co.uk (black and red). On www.handtec.co.uk expected tomorrow
I recently ordered a the Z1 from this site and it never actually got shipped. They don't reply to their contact us form which now doesn't work at all and I had to wrestle PayPal to re-open my ticket to get my money back. Order from somewhere reputable, I have been talking to a user on XDA who's friend sells imported chinese phones.
Link to the user's friend Turned out to be most expensive due to English to Polish translation error.
These are for one, cheaperr. Two are reputable and three, no turnaround waiting for overseas shipping outside Europe.
I bought mine from AliExpress in the end.

Yeah, I noticed as I was about to place my order it's 1,614 but because it's a Polish site Google Translate breaks the formatting and I thought it said 1 641 as in 1 x 641 Zloty.

Came this morning! I was jumping up and down infront of the DHL man! It's a great device and it's bloody quick having a few issues with Windows and ADB but I am working them out. Delivery was a tad slow but the seller was shipping it to someone in the UK first which explains why. BUY IT!

Latest build makes double tap to wake intermittent and sound through speaker has issues but they'll be patched very soon.
*EDIT* People are reporting sound issues but after some tests I haven't found anything wrong.

may I add gearbest to the offenders of sales? I have ordered the zuk z1 with a promotional code from android headlines, paid through paypal. First they said that I'm in rural part of Australia (I live in the second biggest city in WA) and I have to pay extra if I wanted to use DHL. Ok , I paid , a day after they came back and said (I quote): "I'm so sorry that item Lenovo ZUK Z1 International Edition Android 5.1 5.5 inch 4G Phablet is stop production." And they asked me to choose something else..... Needless to say they are still selling the Zuk but I think they just do not want to give me the discount? Anyway, it seems to me that they are willing to pay my money back but I lost trust in that shop big time.....
I am happy owning a Z3C, what an excellent phone! Since 6 weeks though, I am looking to buy one for my wife too. But there are no more in stock! At least not in Switzerland and afaik also not in Germany.
What is going on here? Sony produces a great phone to a good price and after not even a year on the market there are no devices more available.
Maybe someone on the xda forum can shed some light to this mystery?
Maybe people are hoarding it, I've considered it myself.

According to geizhals.de, there are currently about a dozen German online shops that still have the Z3c in stock.
I assume that Sony needed much of their production facilities for being able to deliver the Z5c in time, so they probably didn't produce Z3c's in the past couple of weeks. However, I really hope that they catch up with the Z3c again since it's a great device! :fingers-crossed:
I just checked on amazon germany and they do have it in stock for 399.99 Euros...
Gesendet von meinem D5803 mit Tapatalk
Looking for the orange one, but you're right, in Germany there are a few left in stock. Am not sure, though, how reliable the "in stock" is... Got som e bad experiences there from earlier purchases.
In Switzerland they are definitely sold out since weeks. The biggest online retailer there (digitec) even took them out of the online shop completely and another (brack) still takes orders but has minus listings on their site, also since weeks.
@okij: Hope you are right about catching up.
