US Preorder???

[skeevydude]

Has anybody heard anything about preordering this in the US market?

I was going to get a Z3 Tablet Compact at the end of this month, but, if the price rumors are true, the Z4 Tablet will have a release price about the same to $50 more than the Z3TC is currently selling for. Why spend full price on a tablet when the next model comes out in a couple/few months for about the same price and has much better specs (or being able to get the current model at a reduced price when this releases)?

I have been searching for the this for the last month. As far as I can tell the US has to wait till July.

Price isnt the decision factor here, you need to consider the size you want. I had the xperia z2 tablet (10 inch screen) and it was too overwhelming, it was heavy and big. Though it was pleasing to the eyes i find it difficult to carry it around. Just few days ago, i sold it and purchased the Z3TC.

in the end, its really your choice, 10 inch tablets are just not for everyone.

Any update?

I just ordered an unlocked one on eBay from Taiwan. Should be in by the middle of the month.

How much was it?

How much was it?

$700 for the Wifi Version, No dock. I am still curious on when it is supposed to ship out in the US.

Please let us know when/how it comes in. I saw a few on eBay from Taiwan and was leery about the low feedback count.

Don't waste your time and risk your money on eBay. Expansys is already selling the LTE version for $700 including shipping. For another $35, they'll extend the warranty they provide from six to 18 months. (With their warranty, if Sony USA refuses to cover the device, Expansys will return it to the country from which it came, handle the warranty repair for you, and then return it to the USA once more.)

I've bought my last three phones from them, and have had a great experience every time. Other than as a customer, I have no relationship with them:

I got the tablet in yesterday and I love it. The battery and display is fantastic. I took notes on LectureNotes, at full brightness and recorded for 3 and a half hours and still had 75%. My only major issue is the remote play (main reason I got the tablet). It seems that it runs once after the initial setup. If I restart the device it gives me error code 88001003 and exits the app. I think it occurs because the tablet is unlocked. Huge bummer and I'm thinking about returning it and waiting for it to come in the US at the end of the month.

Edit: I removed SuperSU and everything is okay now. Unlocked was not the issue.
