All of us who apparently "Pre-Ordered" are made to wait the longest.

Yesterday i went to the Sony Stores and some other Retailers like Reliance Digital & Chroma etc and the phone was in stock but since i had already paid for "pre-order" i was stuck. i could just have purchased it on the day of sale only. rather than having to wait like this..
[Xperia Z General] DooMLoRD:
the online retailers just want to save on the shipping costs of having to send the extra stuff later :P

Flipkart Preorders

Called up Flipkart CC, Guy told that Shipment will be done on 20th Mar :crying:

When i asked for the Reason why there would be delay in Shipping , he said they got many preorders and they couldn't get that much stock from Sony.. They have messed up preorders :(
[Xperia Z General] dhirajmishra:
Then why the hell are they still offering it for preorder ?? If what you are saying is true then there is no online shop nowadays which can b called trustable.....Evn flipkart sucks under pressure........:crying:
[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
why not cancel your order, i am sure Flipkart doesn't charge on cancellation.
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
haha you guys who order online are frustrated, imagine me. Booked on sunday from a sony store was promised monday further tuesday then this evening and now tomorrow. Reason he says no black stocks. When will i get it? sir i will come to know tomorrow evening when the stocks come. I then went to another closest sony store and there as well no stocks. When will black come? Sir no idea. Maybe 7-8days and that made me super furious i was just gonna turn into a hulk. Now decided i wait 2 days maximum if not cancel my order n stay with my arc s, this is rubbish if they market it so much why cant they supply equal amounts, major goof up sony.
[Xperia Z General] DooMLoRD:
basically Sony didnt anticipate such a huge demand :P
[Xperia Z General] dhirajmishra:
The thing is that my only option to buy it is via online stores & i booked it on flipkart as soon as it was available for preorder so i'll be among the first ones to receive it whenever their shipping starts.....

Plus i ordered it via Credit Card so even if i cancel the order, it'll take minimum 5-6 days for them to refund the amount so cant do it......

So, i am kind of stuck with this order......:(
[Xperia Z General] redandwhitearmy:
Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

Told u all it will be sold out soon... :p
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
well even i made my booking via credit card, if today i had to find a black one at any store i would have paid by card again and cancelled the order at sony plus point is they could settle things on the spot or maybe next day. This is why i never prefer purchasing anything other then automotive products online and from the itunes store.
[Xperia Z General] rohit25:
to all those surprised and shocked by the 1000rs reduction in xperia z price on flipkart. i just emailed them and got 1000rs discount.

so the actual amt stands at 37990 which would also be cancelled 2morow cuz i am buying from sony store.
[Xperia Z General] dhirajmishra:
The 15% discount deal is still available with the coupon code "FLASH1203" but only after midnight in case u r still interested............
[Xperia Z General] mksreenath:
free premium case??

did anybody receive free case come along with the phone?? if so plz post a pic of that..i did not get yet and dont know how it look like so.. :angel:

Who says battery life isnt good!!
[Xperia Z General] lovemyarc:
Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

That's due to wrong battery calibration, after some days it'll not happen. Same happened with my Xperia Arc :)

PS though battery life got better in some days.

Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

Its the shame on Sony kind of case...how can they call it premium
[Xperia Z General] rohit25:
okay to the dude who is always pointing out "shop at indiatimes" dude my uncle owns a sony stor nd he said that the dealer price of the phone is 36k so how d f can u get a phone for 33.5k..... plz xplain.... that site wud send you the phone once the dealer price goes down in a month or 2 month :) .....

also update got a call from Flipkart REP.... weird(had sent atleast 5 email a day nd also complained on dere fb page).... dey said that phone wud be shipped in this week itself no date.... nd also acknowledged that phone is available in the market....

said to wait... nd wud so as the BLACK units are out of stock in all sony stores
[Xperia Z General] buBleZ:
You have to understand a liitle bit of business tactics here. Indiatimes is a big shopping site that looks at overall profits even-though they might make loss on few products. So lets say the dealer price is 36K and Indiatimes is selling at 33.5K . The advantage they get is huge publicity and potential future customers who purchase this phone.

And I find it hard to believe dealer price is so high at 36K. Even if it is true there is a distribuor pricing which Indiatimes might negotiate for.

btw I myself have bought XZ for a friend for 35.1K from ebay.in using coupons on 11th and the phone got delivered with bill, free case and headset.
[Xperia Z General] rohit25:
okay.... thank you.... take my criticsm back...

CHEERS
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
got my phone couple of hours back. Its fab dont think i find any display issues, the headphones provided is average plugged in my beats and its supremely awesome with my customized eq.

battery life not yet checked but when i got the phone it was 60% and after 2 hours its 35%

camera well i have to do some settings to suit my tastes.

Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

M planning to sell my Xperia Z (with all accessories pouch headphone).

Its black and bootloader unlocked and rooted. I used it for 5 days and its in good condition.

Price negotiable. Bangalore only. PM me.
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
will click pictures in a while, for now enjoying the phone and a few games. battery life at 19% now not charged the phone seems better then the arc s however will condition the battery first and then compare.

The phone is a major finger print and pocket lint magnet! The usb cable is short was hoping id get a bigger one so i could charge the phone while using it as i stay in my lazy position over my bed.

Im planning to give away the in box ear phones not at all happy with it(im a major audiophile). The camera seems good now that i tweaked a few settings.
[Xperia Z General] warfareonly:
Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

Since are an audiophile, please recommend headphones below 2000rs.

Yes, I know that is super cheap for an audiophile, but I run through headphones in just 6 months and I don't fancy dropping more than 2k for what I'll use only for six months.

Right now I'm using creative ep-630 (seemed good enough), so please suggest something better than that:)

Oh, by running through, I mean break. One side stops working.

Thank you very much, but I'd prefer in-ear type, not on-ear. These I will have to keep in bag or carry around my neck if I go out. If there is nothing else as good as that under 2k, then I'll make do with those...
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
haha ive snapped the cable on my beats in ear headphones once. Then got another one cause i loved its depth and clarity.

around 2 grands i would suggest

abit above your budget but amazing reproduction and noise isolation very good brand as well http://www.flipkart.com/klipsch-ima...TYJH&ref=d2b05bbb-6df8-4264-be14-8322fb88440b

there are more if you do have a premium apple reseller do check there, control talk headphones do work with the xperia z have just used mine. It wasnt supported by my arc s

skull candy is good as well. but if your looking for good sound then i would say skip it

Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

Has anybody here received their xperia z via online booking from sites like flipkart,saholic,infibeam,adexmart, etc (excluding ebay) ???

Bcos flipkart says that none of the online stores have yet received them from the suppliers....
[Xperia Z General] #illidan:
10k for booking is outrageous but the handset pricing seems right & affordable atleast for me:victory:

True. Booking amount is ridiculous :banghead:
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Well it is! Considering the final price, it seems that Sony is heading the right way! 10k is for getting it 10 days before others do i think!! :D
[Xperia Z General] nielneal:
in mumbai sony center i asked they are unaware about pricing and launch date...;-(
[Xperia Z General] androidindian:
a friend just preordered the xperia z at the sony centre in mumbai. 2k token and the preordered devices will get 10 days before launch.. which is brilliant!
[Xperia Z General] #illidan:
That's not right. 10k is ridiculous. The S3 had a pre order booking price of 5k which IMO is reasonable.

Some people just don't know stuff. There are always such people at electronic store. A handle of people rarely are aware of such things.

2k is good but I belive you should never pre order an electronic devices before they have launched became the 1st batch is always iffy I believe & I would like to read a couple of complete reviews & get some hands on time with the device before I decide to drop 35k for it unless your rich.

http://tech2.in.com/news/smartphones/sony-announces-xperia-z-price-in-uk-at-529/732282

Looks like its priced at around 45000 INR.
[Xperia Z General] AayushDhuria:
Dude that's after converting, Official price of Xperia Z for Indian market will be totally different, this is senseless.
[Xperia Z General] Bl!GhT:
And why do you suppose a premium segment phone like the xperia z will be priced any lesser than 40000 INR when it is targeting the iphone 5, htc one x+ and the droid DNA which are overtly priced.:confused:

Sony itself released that ION which was 34000 INR which was somewhat a fail. I Dont see sony releasing this below 40000 INR.

Pre order terms and agreement state that the price quoted during the preorder is not the final price. The Final price it will retail for will be above the 40000 INR margin.:good:
[Xperia Z General] AayushDhuria:
Buddy S3 was priced at 42k. It was mere quad core/better screen over s2, not a major upgrade, Xperia Z is woah! still priced so low (hopefully).

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

Well yes, it might be even 50k, but you can't just simply convert UK's price into INR and estimate.

I can't go above 40k, so if price goes even 41k, I'll have to go for Nexus 4.
[Xperia Z General] Bl!GhT:
Prices confirmed

http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/sony-xperia-z-price-confirmed-would-you-pay-this-much-for-waterproofing-1128815

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

Furthermore i considered the average of the prices at the locations from which it was launched in like UK, Japan and online.

So its very steeply prices at a range of 39000 - 45000 INR.

Sony wont settle for anything less than this. If they wanted to settle for anything lesser, they wouldnt even be launching it in India as they did for the ACRO S.
[Xperia Z General] karun11:
36k is the final price or subject to change? Which service center did you go to? Delhi or Mumbai? Congrats :)
[Xperia Z General] Bl!GhT:
Ofcourse its subject to change, thats one of the clause in the pre order agreement.
[Xperia Z General] AayushDhuria:
Dude, like I said, you can't estimate price in India just by converting UK's price. It might be even 50k, but you can't do it that way. Have patience and wait for price announcement in India.
[Xperia Z General] Anandc:
@SEFanX10i From where did you pre-order?
[Xperia Z General] SEFanX10i:
Sony center jm road in Pune.

Also why are some guys posting uk prices???? India is not UK or Japan.

36k is fixed, give or take 1k. No bigger difference.
[Xperia Z General] jigarpatel22:
Price difference between C6603 and C6602

I think UK price is for LTE model C6603.

In India I think we will be receiving HSPA+ model C6602.

We need to consider price difference for different model.

I hope "SEFanX10i" is right and price is below 40K, then this model will be killer. :cowboy:
[Xperia Z General] androidindian:
UK prices are always expensive.. there is no point in conversions.. Lol

Why are we debating prices.. When Sony style guys are themselves confirming 36-38k

Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

Bit off topic

Personally I think 5" screen is too big.

I am happy with 4" Xperia P.

Although, I will definitely buy Xperia Z, if Katrina came free with it. LOL
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
The premium case will be given as and when they get it in stocks, they told me to wait for a week even questioned them about the headphones when it retails for 790 then why on box it's 1500? he told me the mdrx100 is for 790 and what's being provided is mdrx100a which has different specs and is white. Im not expecting to much out of the free goodies i wished they had provided a dock or a charge on the go.

i find the 5" screen perfect, however to be honest not much difference between the xperia arc s i moved from, just screen feels more crisp and a tad more responsive and super faster overall. Battery got over last night after 4 1/2 hours of usage on the company charge. Kept it entire night on charge unplugged it from the wall at 6.15am it shows 98% now. Will post more feedbacks later as i use it more and what people say today. One thing i found annoying is when the phone got switched of at 0% it wouldn't switch back on till it had 3% battery which was never the case on the arc and using the phone even with the charger connected the battery dipped back to 0% from 3% in about 4 minutes of facebook and whatsapp usage and switched of.

The internet feels faster clocked a speed of 7250 kbps. Played songs from my sd card no skipping or lags noticed.

Finally at last received a mail from infibeam which gave me the estimated shipping date of 18th march and delivery by 20th!
[Xperia Z General] nickandre21:
i wish the sony stores would've given me the phone at that price but they were glued to the printed mrp and whats printed as freebies, guess its due to high demand. Samething happened when i purchased my verna no discounts or freebies just take it and go.

well 3 hours since i charged battery shows 89% usage includes 1 hour of bluetooth music streaming in the car, 15 minutes whatsapping, 10 mintues of going to check the power management section. Stamina mode on nothing is put in the exception lists. Forgot to state earlier the alarm isnt loud! But nonetheless no alarm can beat my mom.

By the way my phone came with the lastest firmware .350

Compared to their previous sales in mobiles, no doubt they underestimated the demand. But they should have learned something from Google & LG.
