Read the last paragraph
" The Sony Xperia Z will launch in Australia in March 2013 on Telstra, Optus and Vodafone. Telstra has already published a "register your interest" Web page for the Xperia Z, but no pricing has been announced."

They are doing the launch party on the 20th, the device is likely to launch a few weeks later. 1st of March seems to be the word.

Doesn't look good, word was this week also. But Sony Australia are still saying middle of this month, or maybe a week later if sales in Japan etc are higher than first expectation

Still no dates. I know some people have got theirs shipped from mobility, but thats about it. Also no words from the Sony Australia PR team on Facebook.

I have been without a smart phone for 5 months now waiting for the HTC Butterfly unitl HTC screwed the variants, and now have been waiting for the HTC One, until crap specs.

I pre-ordered the Zperia Z from Sony Store hoping to get it last week or even this week. But if you are correct in saying that it will be close to April. I am cancelling my order and purchasing it from Expansys, plus it is $50 cheaper.

I have just ordered phone from Expansys 3-4 days delivery and in stock. Off to Sony now for my refund.

 

[DarkKrypt]

Let me know how the refund goes and what Sony say

Got the cash back yesterday, when I placed the pre-order they made it clear that the deposit was fully refundable.

The only thing they could tell me, was that the phone should be available before the end of the Month.

All I know is mine will be in my hot little hands in a couple of days

Do we know where Mobicity/Expansys/other online stores got their units from? As in.. which country?

I would be patient if I hadn't gone back 6 years in phone tech

Yes my phone was shipped from Hong Kong, and is in Brisbane today for delivery

 

[nizarnoor]

Alright thanks! Let us know when it arrives!
I'm still torn between waiting or getting it online.

 

[edmorize]

got mine in Mobilezone Chester hill for $699, but they only have the black one in stock, Vodafone branded.

 

[danw_oz]

Arrived yesterday. Loving it already, only thing I don't like is the app's, hard to know if it is a true app or Sony bundled trying to sell you crap .

Screen is stunning, everyone I have shown the phone today are amazed, iphone and smasung users. I was reserved when it first came, because it didn't look that flash with the mat shipping screen guard, viewing angles were not good, once I remove this front and back and put on the supplied screen protectors, it is just stunning, even outside it is way better than any of my previous HTC phones.

My one is the white model

Hi. I just got my Xperia Z... I bought it online (mobicity). Looks like it's from France. I got the charging dock. But there's no screen protector inside the package. How come? And since it's from France, I wonder if that means I got the inferior screen panel...?

Sweet score on the dock. Best to ask Mobicity, maybe they put it on when they removed sim lock???

Sony rep liked my phone when I took it in to show him, nice guy, but on of the other guys had an attitude about it. As far as I am concerned if Sony don't get their act together what do they expect.
