Anybody received their device except probably people at Singapore and Japan?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] ash6783:
mine says del 21 st may hopefully il get it tmoz ordered 16 gb for £359

csnnot wait to get this beauty sold my n7 to get this:D
[Xperia Tablet Z General] jaseli:
mine is NTT docomo model SO-03E, have the tv antenna near the headphone jack.

paid HKD 4380 (approx. US$565) to a HKG parallel importer retail shop on May 3, after Sony HK has announced the HK version at a rip-off price. HKD 5,298 (black 4G version with 16 gb storage, WITHOUT the charging dock)

3G version with 32GB storage in White color, WITH a black charge dock.

firmware version:

out of the box 10.1.E.0.244

OTA updated to 10.1.E.0.250

rooted using ROOT MANY ANDROID tool after 250 upgrade

except for the fact that the touch screen is too sensitive at times.

(while i am sliding my fingers during a list, 9 out of 10 times the touch screen would have reacted as if i have clicked somewhere and chose an item in a list.)

heard that new firmware version number 265 would have this fixed. but cannot do OTA update now that i am rooted...

Received a second email stating that the "Tablet is on it's way"... however, the online webpage doesn't show it as shipped. Called in and the store said that it had not shipped and that shipping was still expected to occur around May 24.

People in Europe seem to be getting theirs now. Has anyone in the US gotten theirs yet. The official shipping date seems to still be May 24.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] Cat McGowan:
My advice: Do not bend the tablet. It was not made to be bent.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] hasenbein1966:
I also can't think of any usage scenarios where bending it is necessary or even unavoidable.

Serial Number

Hi everyone

I've bought one of these from laptopsdirect.co.uk, but one side of the packaging had a lot of black dust as if it had been stored for a long time and I'm concerned that it may be old stock.

The serial number is CB5A1Q9LR*. Has anyone bought one recently or is there any other way I can check if this is an old serial number?

Many Thanks

Congrats bro, are you in US?

Nope, UK...preordered during the 10% off offer in April

Just got my 16GB LTE delivered today in the UK along with the charging dock. This is one seriously good looking piece of hardware. Sony are back in the game with this, they need to start shouting about it and it will sell

Are you in US my friend?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Hondaracer:
They have moved my availability date from 22 May to 29 May :(
[Xperia Tablet Z General] DaddyWhale:
Anyone in US got theirs?

Like some others on here, I'm wondering if anyone in the US has gotten theirs or gotten a shipment confirmation?

I'm in the US and pre-ordered in late April and the Sony site still says that the order is being processed. Not complaining, mind you. Just curious whether anyone in the US has gotten his/hers already...

As of today they have a display model in the New York City Sony store, which I played around with for a minute on the way to work. Screen looks nice. Felt comfortable to hold in the hand (I had been a bit worried about sharp edges), and light. Did not notice any significant lag when scrolling through home screens.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] hyann:
I'm in US as well. I guess they say what they mean, shipping on May 24. which means we wont see it until after memorial day....sigh
[Xperia Tablet Z General] DaddyWhale:
I gave my father my iPad 2 because I knew my XTZ was on the way. Miss having a 10 inch tablet around.

Happy to wait a few more days. Like you, I think it's probably going to ship tomorrow. Two-day mail means it'll be in my hands Wednesday night...
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Mr. Android:
I know this is a long shot.

Is there anyone living in Norway (or Scandinavia) that has recived theirs yet?

For me it just says "Your order is being prepared." and it has been that way for a few days, the strange thing is that it is available to purchase(not preorder) yet there hasnt been any changes. I am going crazy waiting for this thing! well i guess there is nothing to do but wait.......:(
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Psykhe:
Germany here. I think it has been at that stage ("Ihre Bestellung wird bearbeitet") for me for the whole last month.

According to the Xperia Blog both Germany and Norway have as availability date "end of May". I've seen news from two other sites claiming it will be available at the Sony Online store at 27th/28th May, but no idea if they are simply speculating or not.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Zeblade:
USA here.. haha mine shows this. Pffft

Estimated Ship Date: 05/01/2013

In India they are only selling the 4G version. WE DON'T HAVE 4G except for in 3 cities!! No Wi-Fi, and the 4G version is overpriced as F**K
[Xperia Tablet Z General] oawalker:
ordered mine yesterday (in the UK ) should be delivered today direct from sony :)
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Mr. Android:
This sucks.

The strange thing is that yesterday it said they had it in stock, so therefor i assumed since i preorderd in april that I would be getting it but today when i checked it said that it was out stock!!! So they had it but didnt ship it to me and now they are empty!? frustrating to say the least.:(:crying:

But it still says that they are expecting it to be delivered to my home between the 24 and 27 of May! yet it hasnt been shipped?!?!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] hasenbein1966:
I ordered mine on Wednesday on the Sony Website in Germany with the 10% discount.

Today the status changed to "Shipped". Will get it on 27th or 28th, hooray :)

Delivery Date is still shown as 22/05 - 23/05, though. I suspect that one simply doesn't update.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] eirikgu:
Same situation for me. I'm living in Norway, but I've got no information at all. The biggest online shops like komplett.no dont even sell it yet, so my guess is that it is going to take a few more weeks :(
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Mr. Android:
Yes

I was expecting to get it faster since I bought it from Sony and they said the date was the 27. But if i had known that they werent planning on shipping it on time I would have just waited for Komplett to get it in stock (they have Norways best customer service!!) but thats to late now.:(
[Xperia Tablet Z General] hyann:
My ship date is 5/24 (in the US). It's frigging 5/24 now and the webpage for tracking still shows "processing".. cmon Sony!!!!!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] saeba:
US as well... ordered via store. My order shows: Estimated Ship Date: 05/15/2013 - so don't think that's accurate ;)! The US store is now showing on the order pages: "Estimated ship date: 05/29/2013" for the black 16gb and 32gb units unit and "Temporarily out of stock. We will email you when your product ships." for the white 32gb unit.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Psykhe:
I wouldn't say it's too late. If your preorder still is at the 2nd step (as in not yet shipped*) you can cancel it with two clicks. I did just that a month ago to reorder it with that 10% discount code. Got the money from my first order back two days later.

(*You can cancel it after it is shipped, too, of course, but then you'll have the hassle of sending it back.)
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Mr. Android:
I know i can its just....

Its so close to being shipped that i cant get myself to cancel it, i will just have to wait. The 10% thing was the reason I bought it from Sony since you mentioned it. And if i were to cancel it and get back my money I will probably still loose about 500 NOK because of the higher price (not discounted) on for example sites like netonnet and also there is postage.:(
[Xperia Tablet Z General] hyann:
Update for US buyers: my credit card was charged today and now the website shows:READY FOR SHIPMENT. ESTIMATED SHIP DATE: 5/28/13

Too bad they didnt ship it today, but if they actually ship it on 5/28 that's acceptable.

Hope to get it soon!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] saeba:
Yes, just checked mine (16gb black):

Order Status: READY FOR SHIPMENT

Estimated Ship Date: 05/28/2013

Given Monday's a holiday in the US, that's next business day to the original target of 5/24.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Zeblade:

I have pre-orderd Xperia tablet Z - Wifi - 16G 22th april. Estimate delivery day on sony.fr is 22-23th May. I have received a call from a sony guy saying the tablet will be available at the start of June

On my account, I have the tablet in stock but no new delivery date...

It is a bit annoying to wait so long...
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Trno:
Available starting may 28th here, since they made preorder available thats the date they had. I'm sure they already have it as it showing up in many regular stores with avaible 28th date. But they won't ship it before so will get it 29th -_-.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] gordo79:
Managed to get my in the UK with no pre order. went into sony centre bristol on 22/05 to have a look/play guy says we have a 16g WiFi only you can pay now but have to wait til 24/05 to collect. Anyway this thing is awsome well done sony mobile team in a different league to the vaio teams failed attempt with the original s which I have come from.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] PuckStar:
I ordered mine on the 18th at Bol.com in the Netherlands. Packagedeal tablet 32GB wifi + the cover (50% discount on the cover).

On the site it said expected 22nd so I marked the 23rd in my agenda.

But early 23rd I still didn't receive any confirmation that it was sent and on the site it suddenly said: expected 29 May.

But I hear from others that when they call or email Bol.com they get mixed signals about the expected date. Some hear 29th and some hear Week 24 (which would be June 10th earliest).

So frustrating.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] belyj:
Available in Switzerland

Those of us who are in Switzerland, can just walk in to the nearest Manor shop and pick up a black 16GB WiFi-only version for 550 CHF ;) (about 550 USD)

I was in Manor Geneva shop, played a bit with XTZ... Not bad, but mediocre battery life reports are stopping me from shelling 550 for it...
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Psykhe:
Just got mine.

Also ordered the docking station. I must say Sony went a bit on the cheap side with that one. Not that it isn't well made - it is - but all you really get is the docking station. No charger, no usb cable. So you have to use those from the Tablet itself for it. Which causes a bit of a bother if you want to take the Tablet with you somewhere for a few days...
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Ponsonby_Britt:
Just ordered mine, along with an additiona 32gb micro SD card, from Newegg - shipping no earlier than the 29th. That's rather undesirable, but I've got something to tide me over until the first week of June...something called patience.:)

Still haven't received mine though Sony sent it the 23rd. If anyone is ordering through Sony.nl or .be, don't use the KIALA service but have the package sent through regular mail.

Got a black 32 WiFi and cradle from Japan about a month ago. Tablet was 613 bucks and cradle was about 45.

It is amazing how light it is. I can hold with one hand for hours while reading on the Kindle app. It is easier to hold tthan my Nexus 7 and feels lighter.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] godutch:
Finally got it, i must say the screen is quite good, not as good as my One and the same for the speakers. But I got 2 dead pixels, I wanted to swap for a new one but since Sony didn't have them on supply this wasn't possible, so I am getting a refund and see if I can order from somewhere else. It's shame really :(
[Xperia Tablet Z General] dhruvaz:
Bought mine today have the tracking number and they said they shall send it today which they didnt but it was 1-3 days delivery time.. so I expect it by 29th of May mine is SGP321 16 gigs in black. paid 5580 SEK somewhere around 649 euros. Lets hope its as I have expected..
[Xperia Tablet Z General] godutch:
I ordered another one from a different webshop, sony doesn't expect them until the 18th of juni, too late for my holidays. I called the store and they expect 29th of may delivery, I hope the next one will be defect free.

It's a really nice tablet overall, shame about the dead pixels even though they were all the way near the left top corner I still can stand having them. Once you see them they can' t be unseen and you always start looking at them :(
[Xperia Tablet Z General] nitin_ko:
did you take a picture of the pixel issue ?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] godutch:
no, I could never capture it with a camera either, I have very sharp eyes and I don' t think many people would have noticed.

There are 2 dark spots, one larger than the other but the ppi is so high I cannot differentiate subpixels, so I don' t know how many are broken, though I can see both defects on red, green and blue backgrounds so i think the bigger defect is 2 pixels and the smaller one one pixel.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] nitin_ko:
thats really hurts. not expected from sony :(
[Xperia Tablet Z General] tifftoffo:
I can confirm that my display also has a yellow stitch.

Next I can see a slight shadow at the lower display edge.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] iwabernethy:
Got mine on the 20th May when in Tokyo on a holiday. I previously had an order in the UK for the 32GB at £450, but cancelled when they delayed to the end of May. Yodobashi price was 59800, but I got it lower due to tax free shopping so only paid 56,953 (~£370). Also picked up a third party case as they already have a wide selection on sale (cost 3791 yen / £25).

Been using lots already - even watched the F1 on BBC iPlayer while in a Japan hotel!

Only down side is I think I have a dead pixel - permanently white one. So might go into store again tomorrow (I'm now in Osaka) and see what they say (although I fly out of Japan in the evening). Anyone got experience of Sony in the context of global warranties?

In another store nearby I also spotted a second hand 32GB white one for ~£300 - it was in mint condition and the shop guy said he could do me a cheaper deal on it!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] nitin_ko:

Bought my Xperia Z today from John Lewis in the UK. 16GB Black for £400.

Very pleased so far.

My screen when compared to a white sheet of paper has no tint at all.

Annoyed that the Sony movies app won't play MKVs but there are other apps that will do.

Ordered a 32GB Sony Micro SC 40MB/s card from Amazon to bump up the storage, only £19.49.

So thin, so light, and I love the screen.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] DaddyWhale:
Not sure if this matters to you, but I believe the XTZ will also take 64GB micro sd cards.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] DarrenT:
It might do, but the I'm not going to keeping much media on here so I don't really need the 32gb that I ordered.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Zb134:
Not really. Compare to my ipad (3rd gen) the screen is definitely warmer, but I wouldn't say there is a yellow tint.

Having said that, I would definitely be thrilled to get an custom rom or app that will let me adjust the screen gamma settings.

Just to add to that, I also ordered the original sony dock and case; I think the case is not that well designed and adds quite a bit of bulk. Also I have to remove the case each time I use the dock :(
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Vertron:
Those who are rooted & have a warm/yellow tinted screen. Try the screen adjuster app to correct the colours and let us know how much of a difference it makes.

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

I read on another site that apparently power saving mode causes the yellow tint/warmer screen & turning it off fixes it.

Can anyone confirm if this is true or not?

Those without any issues, does turning power saving mode on make your screen warmer?

Nothing changed when on energy saving. I've heard there may be a difference between wi-fi only tablets and LTE/3G tablets regarding this tint.

LTE version here no yellow tint, did check it against white paper.

Then i did compare it against my samsung display and suddenly it felt yellow - mystery solved.

But i was under impression it comes with screen protector applied. That thing i removed surely wasnt one as it had things printed on it and it doesn't seem to be anything else on screen. Need to order one asap but known brands don't seem to be making them yet :S
