Entropy512 has been considering it.

It really depends on North American availability, which has been a consistent problem for Sony. (They know this and are working on it.)

I have a great dislike for grey market imports... If I can't get it in my country with manufacturer warranty for hardware defects, I'm far less likely to purchase it.

Unfortunately, the pattern has been that in the USA, you only have three choices:
1) Carrier-mangled version with locked bootloader that cannot be unlocked
2) Previous-generation device (unlockable TL units are just becoming available now...)
3) Grey market import

If Sony sorts out their North American supply chain and the Z is available in this country in a timely fashion without going through AT&T - I will definitely be getting it. If it's the same story as the TL was... Maybe, not sure.

haven't seen you in awhile man... this is going to be a well supported phone if we can get support from sony to unlock bootloaders... by way OP Johnsodr80 is considering it as well from The Collective team

Personally for me i will be looking for codeworxz & fraco to help with the development of the xperia Z, codeworxz has the ability to make cm roms with little to none sources as possible, while on the other hand francos kernels are stable as hell and are a good replacement to the stock kernel

I don't know if you know me, but I want to buy it too ;)

But, since I'm just a student I'm not sure I can jump from XS to the new Xperia Z :(

If codeworkx, entropy and gokhanmoral get this phone then this is the phone for me. They saved the s2 development when Samsung did everything to kill it. If sony helps developers to bring nexus like experience to this phone then this device is a winner with top notch specs and build quality plus great custom ROM support.

add me to the expected/not sure list:)

I'm searching to buy it as cheap as possible :)

And I talked to DooMLoRD, he won't buy it with release, because he already has some other devices.

So maybe you can edit your first post to:
- Wanted/expected, but not sure yet
- These will buy it
- Probably not/but still wanted

though i love the design and the power of the device i probably may not buy it at launch as i have spent a lot on gadgets (bought lenses worth 400$+ for my DSLR Canon 550D) in the past few months...

Yeah. I hope Sony manages to find some way to get AT&T to allow unlock this time around.

Also I must admit - if AT&T gets the non-waterproof ZL I REALLY hope that the waterproof Z is sold in this country directly.

    I gotta say, I'm very impressed with the Z, it's gonna be fun digging into the kernel sources.

    Not definite... As I stated earlier in this thread, it depends on the whole North American availability situation. I hate greymarket imports.

    If I may say something about donation drives, I'd like to say something. I'm not against it, but actually I don't really like the concept on the other hand. To be honest it's never quite fair to make a donation drive for only one or 2 developers.

    Then some others would feel like they are less important for the community. The developers that really want the device will come eventually most of the time :)

    Thanks

    I really dislike donation drives. In the long run, it makes things worse off for users. Donation drive recipients are often people who hop devices frequently, and users rarely get their money's worth.

    Donation drives make sense when:
    A device has been on the market for a few weeks and there has been a clearly identified roadblock that needs expert assistance. For example, a locked bootloader.
    A device has been on the market for a few months and no one has yet "stepped up".

    It's far better to give someone who actually chose to purchase the device with their own money some time to get up to speed than to get a "quick fix" from someone who will probably drop the device after only a month or two, or will shovel something out and then rapidly drop support.

    I am not sure whether you guys know me, cause I work on 2010 Xperias (x10mini, pro and x8). I will develop for xperia z and zl, too :)
