Chennai availability and where?

Has anyone heard or can confirm if it is now available in Chennai? And if yes, please say exactly where / contact no / or any other relevant information. More is better! :)

Also if anyone knows it's available somewhere in Bangalore, please let us know about these two cities.

Thanks!! And hope it's here soon!!!! It feels like I've been waiting ages and I've been getting along (terribly) with my slow old HTC Desire HD ever since my Galaxy SII got stolen! I need this phone!!!!

Hmmm... just looked at their website.... Seems a little like they are just trying to be one of those, we are the first people to bring it out so place your orders right here. They say it's available from 12th March and it will take 16-18 days to deliver.... meaning it will reach you around April 1st - ONE WHOLE MONTH later. Any other places it's announced?
[Xperia Z General] singh_dd93:
I recieved a call from Sony dealer today. He told me that I will get my device on Monday for sure. Have preordered it for 36.5k

Lets see how much more do I have to pay

BTW I am from Ludhiana
[Xperia Z General] AndroidFreud:
Does anyone know anything about this site?? It's listing the Sony Xperia Z for just Rs. 29,999/- with free shipping??!! WHAT??

Seems kinda bogus cos it's also online payment and not Cash on Delivery.

http://www.kaunsa.com/Detail/11598/Sony-Xperia-ZL.html
[Xperia Z General] warfareonly:
The listing is for zl, not z.

And yes, it seems bogus.
[Xperia Z General] Ame123:
Any dropbox link for xperia z video sample for checking the quality??.i have tried many videos on youtube but they dont look as good i think due to youtubes compression

Xperia Z in Indian tv add

[Xperia Z General] Cookie Ninja:
My sentiments exactly. I'm in the market for a replacement to my HTC Incredible S. I personally feel that the Butterfly is a better contender as a replacement than the M7/HTC-1. The other contender being the Sony Xperia Z.
[Xperia Z General] Kunwar.g:
Expected price of the Z is around 38K. Any guess how much will the ZL be basis that. My guess is not less than 32-33K
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Another update for TN users:

The Xperia Store representative from Coimbatore called me just now and said that they underwent a training today for helping out people to use the Xperia Z demo units which will be available on the store soon. The pre order starts now and starting price is Rs 500 and you can pay as you wish and is also strictly refundable if u regret it later. They also confirmed that the stocks will be available moreover from March 6 itself but other retailers (Poorvika, Mobile Store) will be getting them from 12th March. He too speculated that the price will be around only 38000 INR to be sure for the most part!

And for the ZL fans - Pre order started for the ZL too (same from 500 INR to as you wish) from today! I asked for any built in or free accessories for Z but they refused that there are none except for the bundled apps as mentioned before (1 lakh songs free app etc). Happy fellas? So Chennai fans, hope this helps you! ZL fans too can run out to their stores from tomorrow to book it!
[Xperia Z General] neversayoceans:
The dealer in kolkata also said 12 March
[Xperia Z General] vicedens2002:
Any other update for ZL. Pricing? Availability?
[Xperia Z General] shubhamnad:
hello bro, where in kolkata did you enquire, the sony centre at south city mall said that they r takin pre-orders and the same would arrive netime dis week.
[Xperia Z General] neversayoceans:
City Center. ..he said it will launch this week but due to heavy pre booking they wont be able to serve the demands b4 12th.
[Xperia Z General] girish1in:
UPDATE: SONY CENTER, THANE (Near Mumbai), I pre-ordered XZ yesterday by paying 1000 bucks. Was told stock expected between 5th-10th for Sure. Price around Rs 38,000. or max 40 k.
[Xperia Z General] redandwhitearmy:
I will be getting it next month , sad not to get it early... so i will have real choice XZ or XZL ...... maybe i will get XZL if it launches in time in begining of april.
[Xperia Z General] kancherlapraneeth:
[/COLOR]

good to know. I am also looking for ZL. Hoping for more news on it
[Xperia Z General] redandwhitearmy:
Ok so ask me any type of qn regarding XZ ... I have news n stuff (you will see in launch tomorrow and days after)... Coz of my connection with sony .. which i will not elaborate here ..dont want to spoil the excitement of tomorrow.. Device will start selling on 12th... Dont doubt this .. its coming directly from sony.
[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
Price, rest we don't care.
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Any freebies or bundled accessories with the device buddy? Except those apps?
[Xperia Z General] redandwhitearmy:
No freebies

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

Sorry they dont show price in vids... Kinda not classy ..sony is not micromax

I m yet to see a boxed unit... It will be below Mrp that will be printed 40k

Bet on 37990 but still not 100% ... Coz i have not seen box of it
[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
40k Print is good, that will def mean around 38k, or use ebay coupons. I am just concerned they do not end up print it 42990 and then sell for 40k
[Xperia Z General] redandwhitearmy:
Teaser

Tomorrow then... All the best to everyone who will buy this get it first on 12th March before it gets out of stock... Get it over HTC ONE anyday... they do not support their devices properly... believe me i have HTC right now and i want to get rid of it.

Finally Sony has done justice after not giving us xperia T , V

So m leaving u with a teaser which u will see tomorrow in launch . Enjoy..
[Xperia Z General] redandwhitearmy:
Sorry i removed that part of post.
[Xperia Z General] Anandc:
What's with the March 12 release? why so late?
[Xperia Z General] karun11:
We shall see tomm. Whether its 6th or 12th. Wait for a day.
[Xperia Z General] Anandc:
He's got the screenshot of March 12 lol, there is no way we going to get tomorrow. this really pisses me off!
[Xperia Z General] redandwhitearmy:
Tomorrow is launch event only.... Device will be available later... i suggest preorder it... lot of chances it will go out of stock soon... and many people will be left out disappointed... for at least 1-2 weeks ... there is a lot of demand for this one because after a lot of time Sony has released a device with very much comparable specs to competitors. Pre booking is aready gone above past numbers.
[Xperia Z General] Anandc:
I've pre-booked since ages, why do you think i'm pissed off!

I want it tomorrow, any possibility?
[Xperia Z General] karun11:
Hardly any1 is interested in taking prebookings in delhi. :grr
[Xperia Z General] Anandc:
the guy from sony center is still saying that those who have pre booked will get tomorrow or day after tomorrow and official release is march 12.
[Xperia Z General] karun11:
Man. u Mumbai folk are lucky! Delhi stores are still mum!
[Xperia Z General] redandwhitearmy:
Sorry i dont trust this half baked info of sales representatives.... i have been reading stuff and poking people around here :P..some said 25th feb release n what not... with all sorts of wrong info like preorder people will get it 10 days before launch (how on earth is that possible) xD..These people know nothing big NOTHING.... I posted news today because it came directly from sony india ... plus coz m not allowed to say much about it.. that info came to me coz i was really curious about the device and i have good sources in sony.

right now sales are from march 12 . (that may or may not include preorder people)

there is slight chance u will get it early.... maybe they make some hundreds of units available tomorrow... then start sales from 12th.
[Xperia Z General] Anandc:
yeah that's what he said. the second batch will start from march 12. but the first initial batch starts from tomorrow. now I don't know if the first batch consist of 100 units or more or less.
[Xperia Z General] komil85:
At flipkart it is available for pre order and the price is almost 40k..
[Xperia Z General] warfareonly:
Setting it a bit on the high side..:(

I was hoping for 35k
[Xperia Z General] Anirudh.Ragi:
price is Rs. 38990 for Xperia Z and Rs. 35990 for Xperia ZL with a Rs. 650 16gb sandisk card free in flipkart.

delevery is set to 3rd week of march, means will get by april from flipkart, and the price may change again after that :good:
[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
Should be cheaper in stores, so guess you can get a deal for 37.5k

Anyone know where I can get demo unit to test in Ahmedabad?

Improved service. standby units to be provided if you ever have to give your device to the service center.

And of course katrina is gorgeous

A Biiiiiiggggggggg Blow to HTC. HTC Butterfly over priced and i'm sure HTC One will also be over priced :p

Sony is going in the right direction.... Now with the price revealed ppl will still crib about the display ....

Anywayz My personal opinion is Xperia Z is a beautiful phone, will chk out about the display once the demo units are out :)

Wait for another week till 12th? Mistake to Preorder

Its disappointing and sad that we have to wait for another long week....:(:(

I prebooked only because I was told they will surely get stock this week at at Sony Center, Thane.

Was it a mistake to pre-order?????? I can get XZ at local shops 2-3k less than Sony Center, should have waited.

The only reason I Pre-ordered it was because of getting it this week! and RUMORS of ''Limited Stock'!! coming in....

Already waited for months together....My patience is being tested.
[Xperia Z General] rohit25:
just had a word with the dealer of Sony (my friend's shop) he stated that phone to be priced at 37K Showroom price(not flipkart so dont crib) plus he wud give me the phone at dealer price hence a lil more discount......

wud have to pre-book though and will receive the handset on 12th....... aka sone pe suhaga..... yippppeeee :p
[Xperia Z General] jigarpatel22:
Any word from SONY about availability of DEMO unit in SONY center and also for sale.
[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
Superb Pricing from Sony, i think if some one has the patience to wait out a month or so, it will settle down around 35-36k, which is a great price. Kudos to Sony for feeling the Pulse of market and trying to tap it.

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

I own a 32gb class 10 sandisk and I still run out of space! So free sdcards are like a gift from heaven to me. Add the fact that the card is hot-swappable (not possible on the note) and I'm golden!
[Xperia Z General] amankapoor4:
Flipkart always puts the per order date a little ahead, to avoid confusion. All pre orders i have given to Flipkart have been shipped with all other retailers, no way in world would Infibeam get products faster then Flipkart, both will ship the same day.

Well 39k was MRP, prce will be less in shops anyway. I think even the freebie is no good, instead of 16 GB card(590) and Those Headphone(790) i will prefer 2000 discount, can do anything i want with the money.

Already a price slash of 2K on the Z. At this rate the ZL will get a slash too and might got for 33.5-34K. My current budget is max 25K. Dont think the ZL is going to come near that in less than a years time :(

Will have to do way with the SL for the time being. And just to pacify self "All is well". Maybe 5inch screen is not for me :angel:

Is there any official link where it state which version of "Z" is launching in India C6602 or C6603 ?

Isn't c6603 the late version ? Why would it come out in India?
[Xperia Z General] DeathlessOne:
Re: Sony Xperia Z/Zl [Indian users] pre-order started

If anyone thinkin of pre-orderin the Z or ZL, today might be the one because Indiatimes Shopping is giving out a flat 10% discount on all mobiles and tablets valid only for today! So the Z with 38.9k gets a whopping 3.8k discount and final price of around 35k with all freebies like premium case and headphones (no mem card).. Great deal isn't it? The same goes for ZL as well and it comes to around 32k with all freebies! Darn, i missed it by a day! Thought for sure that this would come one day, but not today! That's why i keep an eye on this site! Hope this helps any!

For all Gurgaon ppl ... goto Sony Center in ambience mall they have the sony xz in stock right now

Unfortunately the black is over already but they have white and purple in stock ....price is 38990 and you are getting screen protectors inside the case...

The additional accessories like the headphone and premium case is coming later and you can get it when they have it stock.

But the phone is available with them in white and purple color.

They dont have demo units because stock is very limited right now ..

I want one in black color so will have to wait but for all those who want it in white or purple there is stock if you can pick up today..
