I was wondering if someone, by any chance, has bought an xperia Z3 compact on amazon that can confirm that it indeed supports 850/1900 frequencies for 3G (used in Mexico). I saw the specs on sony's germany website and it says it does, but I'm not sure if the product sold in amazon.de is the same.
Can someone help me / confirm I can buy the phone in amazon.de and be sure that I can use it in Mexico?
Try to confirm the Model Number and search the bands on gsmarena

It looks like Xperia ZL is not launching in Japan? Anyone knows if its true?
Don't even see it in their products lineup!! i'm looking forward to ZL and not Z
http://www.sonymobile.co.jp/product/
Sony's released plan of the devices is messed up. Everything they said on their announcements didn't come true. And yeah japan should also recieve Xperia ZL as sony did mention that both Xperia Z and ZL will be available on all southeast asian countries before european countries gets it. But look what's happening now. Europe has already demo units and released Xperia Z now but on Southeast Asia only japan got the Xperia Z release and only singapore got a demo unit with them. Rest of Southeast Asia has no news whatsoever about these devices. And yeah my most anticipated device "Xperia ZL" looks like got left out of the dark now also.
Will the ZL released in germany?
Japan.
Yeah.... no news from japan...
I think buy the sim free version from the net, n use it with the Japan's line is the best choice....
well...

That will be great except even with a SIM Free phone you need to have the IMEI registered by Docomo to use it, and they won't register any device they haven't sold.

yup.... so we need to go to docomo to register the ZL IMEI id...
Didn't know Japan is that harsh here in Singapore, it's illegal for the carriers to lock the phones

Hi everyone,
I live in Turkey , and I want to buy Xperia Z.
I looked at a few sites, such as clove.co.uk / handtech.co.uk / Unlocked-mobiles.uk
Do you have experience in international shipping site which you offer me?
You can find Xperia Z in Istanbul/Kadikoy. I've bought mine last week.
Importing GSM phones from outsite of Turkey is a big pain.

Dear cjcelo,
I've bought my Xperia S with Handtec, and my Xperia Z with Clove. Both came in perfect conditions and the support was amazing, in both companies. Handtec support is superb, solved the issue I had with the charger when I ordered the S, even if my order was made from Brazil (I'm also an International Customer).
Both can be recommended.
Erich
Ynt: international order for Xperi Z
You can not import mobile phones to Turkey yourself, it will not pass custom check, so my advice is do not even try it.
Hey everyone, I know were all excited about this phone and lots of us are talking about waiting it out until it gets here. Anyone have any hints as to when they'll be releasing it to us. I know the Z Ultra has been in Asia for a long time and only now are they releasing it to Canada. I'd really like to get my hands on this phone. Btw did an order with Clove and got a (Backorder) status. So I canceled, you might not want to order.
Did you check Negri?

Negri only has the 6903 model which I believe wont work on Canadian/US LTE. We need the 6906 model for North America.

6903 lte works on tmobile by looking at the frequency
the 6906 carries the 700 mhz carried by att for lte.

I wish that they would devise a way for a phone to have all frequencies.

I have T-Mobile and I live in the US. I ordered the Unlocked Xperia Z1 because a T-Mobile rep said that it supports the bands for T-Mobile 2G, 3G, 4G (HSPA+ & LTE).
http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/09/25/xperia-z1-to-hit-canada-in-october-through-multiple-carriers/
YESSSSS!!!!!!
I have the 6903 and the 1700 AWS LTE band does work in Canada (Bell) I am having a little trouble with the HSPA though i think it's bell's side since my 6603 work with HSPA and has the exact same bands as the 6903.
I'm still waiting for the 6906
http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/10/02/b...tra-launching-october-15th-heres-the-pricing/
We’ve received word on the launch date and no-term pricing. Both the Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z Ultra will be arriving in Canada on October 15th. The no-contract price points will be $699.95 for the Xperia Z1 and $799.95 for the Xperia Z Ultra.

2 weeks to go, hopefully the Sony store has them in for the 15th as well.
verizon and sprint?
Any idea if Verizon or sprint will have this phone? And when?

Pretty much not going to happen. When it comes to the US should be sold as an unlocked model from Sony stores. If it does come to a carrier should be T-Mobile
Will the Xperia Z1 that's hitting Canadian shelves be the C6906 model? I'm guessing not since none of the aforementioned providers use the 700 mhz band, which is what I need as a sad AT&T customer that wants the Z1 pretty badly

If Sony is smart it would be the C9606 model, because the Canadian 700mhz auction is just around the corner. This would future proof the phone somewhat for Canadians and let those that roam across the border benefit right away.
What I want to know is - beyond LTE bands - what are the hardware differences between the C6903 and C6906? Why does the C6903 show support for H265* in the whitepaper while the C6906 does not? Is this just a codec out-of-box thing or is the hardware decoder different? I can't imagine so because that's probably on the SoC itself in the GPU.
Anyone know?

Actually, I just did some research and it appears as if the Canadian carriers do in fact use 700 mHz bands (at least Bell and Telus do, I can't find any concrete and viable information about Rogers), my apologies. It would appear as if Wikipedia isn't always a viable source.
If this is the case - then I'll be buying a Z1 and getting it imported into the US. This is very exciting!
Yeah it appears that if you check the white papers on sonymobile.com/ca-en/products/phones/xperia-z1/specifications/ Canada will be getting the c6906 version, which seems likely for a oct 15 release from news on the web. Now the problem is just getting a unlocked version shipped to the US.

I don't know where you did your research, but no one has 700mhz spectrum allocation for mobile in Canada. The auction to sell licenses hasn't happened yet.
I am planning to buy Sony xperia Z1. In eBay it shows only seller warranty is applicable as it is imported and in MPN it has been put up ebay_SonyXperiaZ116GBUnlockedBlack. what that means ? and will i be able to use that phone in India? any cons in that ?
Ask the seller about compatibility between carriers and which model it is (C69XX)

No Problem it works in India, there are 2 models imported, c6902 (3g only) and c6903 (LTE), i too bought it for a friend (then 3g model).
Also in my opinion z2 is around 27k and z1 24k. shell a few grand more and get the z2. you won't regret it. if shortage in cash, then save up. it's worth the time

Thank you :good:
To Indians who bought h8296 model and using it in India,
I am planning to buy H8296 model from amazon us as XZ2 is super expensive in India. I would like to know if VOLTE works here with Jio/airtel and other carriers that support volte. How are you guys using ? By flashing Indian firmware or using firmware that came with phone ?
I am fed up with my OnePlus 5 , hate this design, size and bezels. I was using Xperia z3 before and loved its rectangular design.
Thanks in advance
It should work
I checked this information on .frequencycheck website and as per this website this should work in India.
I have bought this model from USA and My phone will arrive next weekend then I can confirm that.
I am happy Xperia z2 user. After using Sony it's very hard to move to any other brand.
