    Post where to buy xperia z (c6602)

    I'm more than positive that they didn't update their FAQ's. The specification page on the same posting has HSPA with 1700/1900 so it does support it even with the new farmed spectrum T-Mobile has been doing. I already ordered mine, so I'll let you know if you are curious :)

    Post Z/ZL US Release date?

    As you may know, the Xperia Z has 3 variants. The one that most people got here is C6603 (LTE). Though it's LTE doesn't work on US carriers. It's HSPA+ only works on AT&T. There's also C6602 which is HSPA+ that works with AT&T AND T-Mobile, but only a handful number of people have it since it's...

    Post Z/ZL US Release date?

    The C6602 version will go on sale next week in India. That's when most non-LTE markets will get their devices. I'll probably find a place that imports it. Not going to wait for the C6606 version. This is taking a little too long. :rolleyes:

    Guys, hold off about at least another 2 weeks to do any justice for the batteries. Most new batteries (especially Sony's) don't hold charge as well in the first few weeks or first month. After that, you should see a good increase in holding in the charge. :o

    Buy what you think suites your need most. Don't follow trends. Even insiders will have to pick something eventually. No body can wait forever for phones that will be the latest and greatest as there will always be something better around the corner. If you like it, buy it, if not, wait it out...

    Post Xperia Z IPS Screen discussion [DISAPPOINTING!!!!! [UPDATED 18/02]

    Obviously they don't make one type of panel within one company. JDI makes wide variety of panels at the moment, and the panel that you mentioned doesn't necessarily been put on certain products. At the end of the day, they still manufacture screens to specs just like other manufacturers. Sony...

    Post Xperia Z IPS Screen discussion [DISAPPOINTING!!!!! [UPDATED 18/02]

    Just here to give my 2 cents. Sony's display on mid to high-end models will be using WhiteMagic displays that are made by JDI. XperiaBlog had an article about it a while ago, and I can confirm that it is true. Now the question is whether it is an IPS display. Yes, to a certain point. It's not a...

    The Z and ZL will be available in the US definitely. It will be available in Sony Style stores. They don't post coming-soon items on Sony Style website.

    Post [NEWS/INFO][SONY XPERIA ZU/HONAMI] Sony Xperia 2012 to 2014 Devices

    Based on their brief, the international version was going to be 8960 (My market doesn't have LTE). :rolleyes: So the press received the wrong specs initially, and it took a while to clarify the different CPU's.

    I understand :laugh: Last time I confirmed a CPU from the T/TX, Sony got me back with changing the specs on the last minute, so even I do not trust their internal info anymore :p

    Just sharing my info :cowboy: I'm surprised he knows S4 specs already :silly: Also, regardless of what the CPU said, Sony changes them in the end. Same with what happened to T/TX. So I would take alot of the rumors as a grain of salt :)

    If I'm not mistaken, Odin is Galaxy Note's competitor. Sony's first 5 inch device. Yuga is first half's flag ship for mobile division, but it's more slapping the V into a bigger body, and upgrading the CPU/Camera. You wouldn't be missing out much really :\ There will also be another 10 inch...

    Post [NEWS/INFO][SONY XPERIA ZU/HONAMI] Sony Xperia 2012 to 2014 Devices

    This is what was written in the brief for the top 3. "13MP camera with Exmor R and HDR to take your best shots in any light condition''. Nothing about the RS. Either I've been misinformed, or some things just haven't ironed out at Sony yet. :confused:
  15. U

    Post [NEWS/INFO][SONY XPERIA ZU/HONAMI] Sony Xperia 2012 to 2014 Devices

    Sadly the reason is the V isn't the flagship. The T/TX's camera has been pointed out about the HDR, but the V can't steal all the spotlight, and which is why it's keeping a rather low profile. But don't overlook it, the majority of the V's spec's will appear next year as early as CES 2013...

    That's what they've informed in the presentation they gave me. It clearly states it has an extra white pixel on the screen. Plus, we all know the BE is mostly software related, so hardware wise, that's all it has.

    Post [NEWS/INFO][SONY XPERIA ZU/HONAMI] Sony Xperia 2012 to 2014 Devices

    BE2 is pretty much the White Magic screen. It has extra white pixel. Nothing else. They're just rebranding it as BE2, since White Magic doesn't seem to be picking up on consumers.

    Xperia T (Mint) in USA might not be contract free. Seems like AT&T will be the main operator carrying it. Xperia TX (Hayabusa) should be contract free in Sony stores. LT29 will be branded in only some Europe countries, but not all Europe countries are bounded to the operators. I wouldn't worry...

    Mint will still have SE's logo guys. Next year devices won't. However, this year's devices look better than next year's definitely...at least it looks original...sigh... Well anyways, yes, we will see improvements in terms of announcement to retail time starting from the next set.

The SIM/memory card slot is also weird. It's a small flap at the back. Looks like a bat-mobile(Tumbler) version of...

    Lotus was already announced. That was the Xperia Go. No one's quite sure what's on the 20th. But I'm more than positive that there won't be anything announced then, just displaying the Miro and Tipo is my guess. I'm already looking at 2013 devices btw :D

    A source is more reliable when they post something that's "reasonable" or "plausible". It's not rocket science to predict what's coming, but to jump ahead too much is just getting too much ahead of yourself. There are no brands that would shoot themselves in the foot by making something that...

    Anyone who even thinks of leaking 2013 lineups right now is just 101% plain stupid too, there's 6 months left til CES, and there's a HUGE margin of devices getting swapped, replaced, scrapped, shoved-in. I wouldn't even dare to even say a word on them because it's just not predictable.

    What I heard is even though they have many devices, many share the exact same hardware. That is to say for example, acro S and XS. Newer lower end ones might have the same hardware as the other (P, Sola, etc.). This is to have it easier to cross between the handsets, while keeping the numbers...
