Oh OK now I get it! Well if they don't ship any orders in Germany until may, I might cancel my order too and wait to see the LG G3 which is supposed to be presented on may , the G2 has held up really well, it can even stand up to the Z2, I didn't get it because of the glossy finish and the horrible LG UI but if they release a Google play edition this year it could be amazing

I don't think Sony will release the Z3 on September ,if they are gonna it release this year, they will push the release to the end of October at least, it's illogical, the Z2 will be released on June on some countries [emoji45]

The Xperia Z was announced at CES 2013 and launched in February. The Z1 was announced at IFA on 4th September and released 2 weeks later. I'm guessing that the Z3 will be announced at IFA in September but agree that the current supply problems will push any launch back. It does seem that Sony may have bitten off more than they can chew with the current release cycle.

Having said all that money changed hands a month ago and I'm keeping my order with Clove Technology (UK supplier). The phone should originally have shipped this week but this has slipped to early to mid May. I'm currently using an SGS3 and the Z2 specs provide a sufficient upgrade for my needs that are not going to date too quickly.
[Xperia Z2 General] BanziBaby:
I get the feeling that Sony didn't expect the phone to as popular as it is, I know a few folk did the same as me ie pre order the GS5 then change their minds & instead go for the Z2.

Have you got a link?
[Xperia Z2 General] vwirstam:
No, I chatted with Sony customer support and they told me. Here is the conversation:

Victor: Tack själv! hm, ja nu när jag endå skriver med er. Finns det något datum bekräftat för Xperia Z2s ankomst? I synnerhet då den lila telefonen?

Viktor: Jag har fått det bekräftat att lansering av telefon sker : 29:e April.

Victor: Även den lila då? Hörde från vissa att den ev skulle dröja..

Viktor: Det har jag inte fått någon information om, så jag går på att den också ska finnas tillgänglig då.

[Xperia Z2 General] D F:
Guys, I have a problem. I relative of mine is going to buy me a Z2 from Taiwan. I live in Romania and I wonder if the phone will be compatible with the 3 and 4G network in my country, since it was made for Taiwan.

Thank you!

[Xperia Z2 General] edge3uk:
Yea it's probably scaremongering to make people jump to Samsung or HTC. There was a lot of talk about the other two devices lack of supply problems.
[Xperia Z2 General] riso123:
Yeah, if that was the case everyone would cancel and junk to the z3!
[Xperia Z2 General] carman594:
Definitely not true. I have an insider that works at Sony and said the phone will hit US markets in May or early June.
[Xperia Z2 General] MGSBigBoss:
And what carrier does this insider of yours say?
[Xperia Z2 General] carman594:
All I asked was if it was coming to t-mobile and he said yes
[Xperia Z2 General] MGSBigBoss:
Can you see if there really is a Verizon cdma equipped one?
[Xperia Z2 General] secun:
Good news! Confirmed stock availability. Shipment next week. This is in Spain, I think it will be the same in other countries. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z2 General] MGSBigBoss:

[Xperia Z2 General] El.Guaje:
In Vietnam, limited stock avaibility now but, shipping may start in 15 May.
[Xperia Z2 General] wase4711:
I'm wondering the same thing..
[Xperia Z2 General] MGSBigBoss:
Lol it comes to third world countries before the US, and just crazy parts of the world before the us. I'll just go with HTC if no info comes in a few weeks.
[Xperia Z2 General] janne303:

[Xperia Z2 General] MGSBigBoss:
I did not state that
[Xperia Z2 General] Raggi01:
You said it comes to third world countries and crazy parts of the world before the us.
[Xperia Z2 General] MGSBigBoss:
Yes, this phone will prob release in China and north Korea well before the US. I need included Europe in the bunch. That's a big market for them. Releasing in Canada and not here is a slap in the face. With no statements.
[Xperia Z2 General] Raggi01:
Obviously its due to the us not having great numbers in terms of sales of Sony products. Canada is only having it released on one carrier and many other parts of the world have greater users of Sony mobiles. Just because its the us doesn't mean its entitled to everything.
[Xperia Z2 General] TheOnlyIntruder:
Doesn't help that the US operators like to monopolise the phones though and slap their branding all over the place - probably why it takes longer to release there.
[Xperia Z2 General] Michealtbh:
I've heard a lot of speculation that this is the case - Sony don't like US carriers messing with their devices.
[Xperia Z2 General] raducanmihai:
I think Sony is trying to make you feel what the rest of the world feels like when certain companies launch their products first (or exclusively) to US market. A taste of your own medicine :p

I'm joking, of course. They probably don't want to enter US market until they have enough items produced and ready to be delivered. They already messed things up in the rest of the world and US, even if Sony is not so strong there, is still a very big market that requires a lot of phones.
[Xperia Z2 General] riso123:
Got mine today. Was delivered on Friday but I wasn't home so it was dropped off next door.

So far I haven't found any faults.

perhaps Sony released the phone first to those countries with weaker buyer protection law to find out if there's any defects, without having to worry about re-calling defective units, then release it in North America with proper fixes for any defects found by them beta testers lol . :p

[Xperia Z2 General] MohJee:
The m8 is the superior of the two anyways.
[Xperia Z2 General] Publicglutton:
That's a broad statement..:rolleyes:......it's personal preference.

Why don't you expand on your statement with substantiated facts...
[Xperia Z2 General] MGSBigBoss:
one reason the HTC m 8 is the better phone is perceived reliability. I am a huge Sony fan in general everything I buy at home are Sony products if the option is available however the reliability issues that stem from z1 series worry me.

Sony seems to be rushing the z2 more so then the previous generation which no doubt between the posts here and news articles very concerned about even buying Xperia z 2 that is not doa.

I really like the waterproofing but in all the years I've had a cell phone i never dropped my phone in water. The camera does impress me, however in everyday situations I'm taking pictures the HTC One m8 makes pictures more consistent and reliable.

And as a US buyer Sony does not have the features to warrant a several month release after the HTC. Don't forget software and camera software. If Sony stays mum in a few weeks when I buy a new phone then they lost a sale.
[Xperia Z2 General] Publicglutton:
I think "percieved" is the perternant word here,

On the M8 there are reports of problems with overheating, microphone not working, Gaps, rough edges, bulges, or scratches, Proximity sensors not working, Unresponsive Home or Back buttons, Dead or stuck pixels, Blue/purple/red noise in low light photos, Bluetooth won’t auto-connect, No SIM card error & Wi-Fi won’t connect or “Authentication problem”..........but like all smartphones these problems are in a minority, just like the problems with the Z2..;)

There are also "gimmicks" on the M8 as on the Z2, this is just personal preference...

Same for the camera, different gimmicks & problems and pluses to both cameras...
[Xperia Z2 General] wase4711:
I used to be a big Sony fan, 20 years ago, when their products were visibly better than most of the competition, but, over the years, as they have farmed out alot of their parts/mfg to 3rd party companies, their quality relies more on the old reputation, than their current products. Plus, they still charge higher prices on almost everything they market, compared to most of their competition..

I too would like to wait for a Z2, but with no announced plans on a release date in the us, or with any carriers "officially" being announced, plus the incredible delays and later deliveries elsewhere in the world, I doubt I will hold out for them.

Plus, if you like to tinker with your phone, the HTC development community is light years better than the Xperia one, so that comes into play with alot of folks who come to XDA...

lastly, I understand to need to make things "really waterproof", but I think having to pull a cover off every time I want to charge/plug in my phone would annoy me over the long run..
[Xperia Z2 General] MGSBigBoss:
You know maybe it's nostalgia for me but when it comes to video games, tv, services, hardware I still prefer Sony abd maybe I'm hoping they can get back to how they used to be. Even today the build quality of their tv's are noticeably superior to competition while their picture quality isn't add big of a leap

As of late they been out sourcing and just making cheaper products lately while retaining the pricing. I want then to be cutting edge again rather than play out safe with the products they been releasing as of late such as the ps4 a huge departure from the ps3 cutting edge tech or bravia tv's compared to years ago.
[Xperia Z2 General] MGSBigBoss:
So the Xperia z2 is slated to hit US in summer and no carriers announced. Yeah by that time they will drop it and have their next flagship out in other countries.

I'll be buying the HTC m8 in a few weeks hourly by then I can get the Verizon red one.

It's just funny that you say currency is stable and comment that there have been fluctuations in exchange rate a lot!

The price was and is around 6k I agree but didn't you notice difference in hardware for the same price? Really?
[Xperia Z2 General] hasona:
I never said the currency was stable for all currencies, I specifically stated that only the Swedish currency was the one being stable - companies rarely lower the price if the currency gets better than their outlooks but they almost always raise the price if the currency takes a hit).

Much like the PS4 price in Canada got raised this month because of bad currency look out.

On the other point I didn't mean it like that but technology evovles and whether it has to do with Moore's law or not it will evovle. Most of the times a company only wants to replace their previous version with something that costs the same(relase price).

I'm a bit dissapointed with Sony, wasn't the phone supposed to be released worldwide this month? The HTC One (M8) was announced yesterday and it's already available, it's also kinda sad that while the phone was released in Taiwan we haven't really seen camera samples, battery tests, etc :crying:
[Xperia Z2 General] ericjennings:

[Xperia Z2 General] m33ts4k0z:
I received an sms from Three of Sweden this morning saying that instead of 15 Aprl they are going to ship the phone on 29 of April because of some delay that Sony is causing. They didn't go into much details and really 2 weeks isn't much of an issue for me but just to let you know that something is indeed going on with the release of Z2.
[Xperia Z2 General] SuperMarioGalaxy:
Oh man, I hope this isn't the case with Amazon.de. It's no problem to wait but my current S3 is giving me trouble and don't want to hassle with it...

[Xperia Z2 General] debrandman:
"The Sony Xperia Z2 was supposed to launch in early April (with a free 32" TV no less), but there seems to have been a delay. So much for shortages not causing a delay.

Sony has contacted UK retailer Unlocked Mobiles and said that the launch has been postponed for the first week of May. Apparently, this applies to all UK retailers, though there's no official statement from Sony.

The Sony Xperia Z2 costs £540 off-contract, while monthly taxes for 2-year plans are £42 get you the phone for free. The TV deal is from Vodafone, while Unlocked Mobiles offer a free wireless speaker, noise-cancelling headphones and digital content with a pre-order."

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z2_launch_in_the_uk_delayed-news-8148.php

Update: Sony states that all pre-orders placed through its key partners will be fulfilled, but the launch remains set for April. There will be some shortages - Sony does not expect to "meet the high demand across all our sales channels". Additional information on retail availability will be released later.

[Xperia Z2 General] maggot_ff:
I work at a phone retailer besides university, for Telenor (Norway) more precisely, and expected delivery is still set for april 11th for us. Both from our supplier and on our official website. So it seems the good people of Norway might be in luck, as long as they use Telenor at least. Still might get the HTC M8 today though, just to check it out till the Z2 comes along. Change it up from primarily using Samsung the last few years!
[Xperia Z2 General] Chad_Petree:
I don't know what to think anymore, I think it's strange that Amazon.de keeps "selling " the phone , sony completely stopped doing so, you can just "preregister " on their website, on Saturn's and mediamarkt's it still states available on the 14th of April :confused:

[Xperia Z2 General] riso123:
It's interesting because Vodafone are saying pre orders arrive on 10th. to claim your free TV you need to sign up on the 8th May one you receive your phone... So if they are planning now a may release it would make that offer schedule incredibly tight.

I call bs on a may release schedule.
