Clove shipped mine. I am in the US as well.

Sendt fra XPERIA Z SGP312
[Xperia Z2 General] ste1164:
Ill extract mine later today.
[Xperia Z2 General] mashed_ash:
That will be very helpful. Thank you!
[Xperia Z2 General] jake460:
Received my white Z2 today from clove,

Phone is excellent, no faults or defects.

Very happy I went for the white.

Lucky you, I am jealous...

Are you going naked?
[Xperia Z2 General] nintendolinky:
Guys, I'm going crazy, I received a replacement for my phone today as I had really bad gaps and overheating, however I now think I have a screen issue. The picture below isn't clear, as it was took on an iPad but hopefully you should see what I mean, I have lines going down the screen, they are very clear to me, and they seem part of the display itself. The phone works 100% but I'm kinda sure they weren't there on my last phone! can anyone offer much insight or advice.
[Xperia Z2 General] kbadone:
I believe these dotted grid lines you are referring to are part of the touch screen digitizer, it's not a defect

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 PM ----------

Are u in the US? Mine just left London 3 hours ago! I doubt I'll be receiving the phone today
[Xperia Z2 General] nintendolinky:
No it's not the dotted lines, I know about them, it's actual small rectangles all over the screen, making columns down the screen.
[Xperia Z2 General] kbadone:
These are only visible when the screen is off?
[Xperia Z2 General] nintendolinky:
I can see them very faint when the screen is on. Can you see what I'm talking about in the picture.

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

I can see them with the screen on.
[Xperia Z2 General] jake460:

Nope in the UK :)

Sent from my Z2
[Xperia Z2 General] kbadone:
To be honest no, the pic is kinda grainy it's hard to tell
[Xperia Z2 General] Kamran9558:
I guess you have the sony supplied Screen protector on isnt it?
[Xperia Z2 General] nintendolinky:
No mate I don't.
[Xperia Z2 General] Kamran9558:
I also have similar vertical lines(only visible when light is reflecting) but they are almost invisible when the screen is on
[Xperia Z2 General] ste1164:
I have those lines too, hasnt bothered me.
[Xperia Z2 General] mhunt407:
Interestingly I had my phone replaced and now I have these too. The last one didn't. Change is manufacturing method maybe?
[Xperia Z2 General] mujj:
Got the phone around 2pm today. Been palying with it for a while. I was wondering what exactly the gap issue was. Can't see anything on that phone thats a problem.
[Xperia Z2 General] ste1164:
Uploading the three firmware now :) I will make a new thread for it soon.
[Xperia Z2 General] SaintyUK:
I was just about to offer that too, I bet you have as lot better upload speed than me though!

Would one of you that have received an unbranded UK device please create a ftf file and upload? I want to get rid of the 3 crap ? Cheers!
[Xperia Z2 General] kbadone:
Just got off the phone with DHL, clove's shipment won't be delivered to me in North Carolina until Monday :-/ "depending on customs" besides they don't deliver on weekends... Lame
[Xperia Z2 General] 1iam5mith:
Are the Three handsets definitely network unlocked?

Also are they still giving the card to new customers for the speaker?
[Xperia Z2 General] SaintyUK:
Mine definitely is unlocked. The speaker promo finished 1st May.
[Xperia Z2 General] ste1164:
Erm mine was going to take 8 hours to upload so maybe you should do it :D I can upload mine on monday when I'm at Uni. Stock UK file is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2732326

Same here. Normally it only takes 1 day to get to LA but this time it will take 2 business days instead
[Xperia Z2 General] thebobness:
mine just clear customs in LA... waiting for it to depart, been watching the tracking like a hawk. I WANT MY PHONE
[Xperia Z2 General] gclancer:
Mine cleared customs this morning but the flight didn't arrive until 5pm. Called DHL and they confirmed Monday delivery
[Xperia Z2 General] iArvee:
Did it come with the speakers and noise cancelling earphones?
[Xperia Z2 General] kbadone:
Got cleared from customs this morning at 2:30 am in OH, if DHL operated on Saturdays I would've had the phone today! This is going to be a really long weekend...
[Xperia Z2 General] thebobness:
Very long. I have everything ready for it. Got my 64gb sd card, my new sim card, and my bumper case. All I need is the phone!
[Xperia Z2 General] kbadone:
My Benks screen protector, official case and cradle been setting on my desk since early April! Almost there :D
[Xperia Z2 General] sdfgsteve:
No, it means they can choose the cheapest of those three options to them: refund, repair or replace. The key is that they arbitrate on your behalf if it requires being sent off to the manufacturer to get fixed - don't let them fob you off with 'oh but warranty'. I had to go through all of this with a laptop I bought a number of years ago, it got all the way to filing in small claims, so I'm pretty well versed, but as always, check with Consumer Direct or CAB first, IANAL.

Yes, and there is no card, as I explained - go to the website, enter the details. Someone mentioned the deal ended the 1st of May, but it still accepted mine on the 4th or 5th once I got it, as I'd expect, as the 1st of May is pretty much when they got stock in!
[Xperia Z2 General] BanziBaby:
Someone in the 3 store told me the offer for the speaker was until the 4th April, I pre ordered mine on the 4th & got the sticker on the box telling you how to redeem the speaker, if it was ordered on the 5th April onwards you don't get the speaker AFAK.
[Xperia Z2 General] Mr.R™:
I ordered mine yesterday and 3 (uk) said i will get a speaker :)

Mine arrives on friday btw :)

Speaker Offer Three UPDATE

Called the people at Sony (01296 717922) and asked where my speaker was. They said that it should be all sorted by the end of this week. They advised to call them on Thursday/Friday to see what the arrangements will be for delivery, in my case I want to make sure it is delivered to my work address. So my advice is to call them around the same time. Apparently the delay has been caused by Three not confirming the account data to match the IMEI of the device.. but anyway, call them on the above number at the end of this week.
[Xperia Z2 General] Kashim:
I don't know if you're aware but I saw 3 are doing a different speaker to everyone else, although you might be able to get both. I'm trying to see if I can get the one three are offering even though I got it sim free.
[Xperia Z2 General] psb07158:
After weeks of deliberating I just took the plunge & bought on Vodafone.

24 months

Unltd mins

Unltd texts

5GB 4G data

2GB UK WiFi

Free phone

£47 a month

3 months 1/2 price line rental.

£80 cashback through TopCashBack & 20% off Vodafone through my work. Works out reasonable enough for a flagship phone & that kinda allowance.

Asked for it to be delivered to a store in London so I can go & collect [working down here temporarily, everything of mine is still registered in Glasgow, can't be waiting 5 weeks for it!!]. Excited to pick up this phone, hope I've made the right choice instead of the S5.
[Xperia Z2 General] edge3uk:
Shouldve gone three fella. Unlimited 4G for 38 quid. phone is unlockable....
[Xperia Z2 General] niebyl2002:
What did you mean by "different speaker to everyone" and "you might be able to get both"?

Thanks

Ralf
[Xperia Z2 General] kbadone:
Finally my phone arrived!!! time to charge it:D
[Xperia Z2 General] psb07158:
I've been with 3 before and in my area back home in Glasgow the reception is really bad. O2, Vodafone are the only networks that I get decent reception with at home. Even had issues with EE, can only get reception if I sit upstairs!!

Don't know if it's now changed with 4G or how good their 4G network is but I don't have the ability to check it since I'm down in London unfortunately! Don't wanna buy & take the risk getting locked into a 2 year deal so going for the safe route :D
[Xperia Z2 General] 2sheds:
Black for me. Currently waiting for the FedEx man to deliver today. I placed the order over 2 months ago on the first day pre-orders opened. Hope the wait is worth it.

Cheers

2sheds
[Xperia Z2 General] Kashim:
I think I finally have enough posts to be able to post the link for you. Sorry for stalling: http://www.sonymobile.com/threeoffer

I bought my phone sim free and got this speaker:

But as a three customer I filled in that form anyway. Now I wait and see.
[Xperia Z2 General] Kamran9558:
I think the offer was for the handsets bought directly from three. Did you buy the handset from 3 or some other retailer?
[Xperia Z2 General] Q.Entity:
Got mine yesterday (I am in the US). It was kind of funny to get a relatively large box because of the speaker with a small box for the Z2 inside.
[Xperia Z2 General] PiskopatYazar:
How many phones did you buy?

I bought mine from three directly PAYG and filled the form for speakers last week still waiting for it.

Three speakers are different than those one you just posted.

Did you get your phone from somewhere else?
[Xperia Z2 General] PiskopatYazar:
I live in Edinburgh and in my area none of the companies have signal indoors three has got home signal box you get signals through the box with connecting it to your home Internet. I have got full signal at home all the time. And in my work I can get 4g here is the screenshot for it with only two signal bars.
[Xperia Z2 General] Kashim:
Yeah I got the phone from clove but since it asked for a 3 phone number I decided to take a chance on it. Will let you know how it all pans out.
[Xperia Z2 General] Funk2641:
Same here. Ordered from Handtec, speaker came in HUGE fedex box with small phone. :3
[Xperia Z2 General] Mr.R™:
Cool, i'll be trying that :)
[Xperia Z2 General] Mr Bigglesworth:
Hi everyone

Did anyone who preordered from O2 under the tablet offer, have the tablet confirmation text (or even received the tablet) by now? I have received nothing and am wondering if that is normal?

Thanks

MB
[Xperia Z2 General] PiskopatYazar:
Did you pay £99 for the tablet,?
[Xperia Z2 General] Michealtbh:
Can get a Z2 from Tesco for around £490 using the code TDX-JK4T, Three are still cheaper but Tesco might work out better if you have Clubcard points plus 5% cashback from topcashback http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/michealtbh

Really tempted to get one myself
[Xperia Z2 General] KrisPerry:
Do you know if these are SIM unlocked and with unlockable bootloader
[Xperia Z2 General] Michealtbh:
Should be, not 100% but almost certain.

Think I'll take the plunge and order one tonight, works out just over £400 for me when I take into account cashback and clubcard vouchers.
[Xperia Z2 General] Mr Bigglesworth:
It was the £99 tablet offer. The T&C say they don't charge you immediately, only when they accept the application. But they say that they text you once they have accepted the application as well so I was wondering if anyone has (a) received the text, (b) had the money taken out of their account or (c) received the tablet??
[Xperia Z2 General] corallus:
They're starting processing the verifications today.
[Xperia Z2 General] Mr Bigglesworth:
That's great info - how do you know that??
[Xperia Z2 General] Michealtbh:
Out of stock in Tesco by the time I got home from work, just my luck
[Xperia Z2 General] Michealtbh:
Looks like it's £549 on Three now
[Xperia Z2 General] 1iam5mith:
Well I made a boo boo, just sold my Z2 for £450, to buy again from 3 with the unlockable bootloader, after selling it I realise the price has gone up! Damn it!
[Xperia Z2 General] Kamran9558:
get it from Tesco if you are on O2 giffgaff or Tesco.
[Xperia Z2 General] BanziBaby:
Just got my replacement phone, told the delivery guy that I had to check it before signing for it,no gaps as far as I can see, camera is more centred on this one (AprilW18) & checked the screen with the service menu diagnostics & it seems fine, hope this one doesn't get as hot as first one :)

Another bit of good news is it still sim unlocked & bootloader unlock status says yes!!!
[Xperia Z2 General] Mr Bigglesworth:
Following up from my earlier post, anyone here received confirmation text/email/taken payment etc for the O2 preorder tablet offer?
[Xperia Z2 General] ProdigalFather:
Just a quick heads up for those that who pre-ordered from Three and were promised £3 off their monthly contract: check your latest bills carefully. I didn't have any discount applied. I rang Three and they're sorting it from my next bill but you all might want to be vigilant!
[Xperia Z2 General] corallus:
Nope, can't find anyone who has either.
[Xperia Z2 General] Strangeland16:
Well bitten the bullet and more another z2 directly through Sony through my catalogue which hopefully will have a unlocked bootloader. Will sell my.Vodafone locked bootloader phone. Thanks for all the help I've received :laugh:
[Xperia Z2 General] KrisPerry:
Apparently Sony direct are locked
[Xperia Z2 General] Strangeland16:
They are all locked but have the option to unlock
[Xperia Z2 General] KrisPerry:
For sure. I heard they were unlockable
[Xperia Z2 General] jayc1980:
From a member of staff at Vodafone

" They will be recieving stock either tonight (tuesday 15th) or thursday 17th. I can confirm the unipart warehouse always recieves stock from various suppliers on tuesdays and thursdays. I can also confirm when the advisors say we do not have stock they are refurring to the stock of the general release which is being pushed back to may. They will not be able to see the availbale stock for the first 3000 pre orders as these have been set aside into a completlet different batch for the pre-launch deliveries from april 14th. I hope this answers some peoples queries."

Sony Z2 pre ordered.........
[Xperia Z2 General] chinedu40:
Give them till thursday

Since Friday is a bank holiday in the UK, I'm giving them (CPW) till thursday to deliver my phone otherwise the complaints will start to flow and compensation will be pursued because unlike companies such as amazon, clove and the like, they don't take your money until they are ready to despatch. They have currently taken my money and yet no phone has been despatched.
[Xperia Z2 General] Jhames:
Just realised my new z2 contract starts today, complete with a new more expensive price, even though three probably won't be shipping it till may 1st (although it wouldn't surprise me if they miss that at this rate).

Am I entitled to complain about paying for 2 weeks of a phone contract where I don't have the phone yet? Anyone ever been a similar situation?
[Xperia Z2 General] waynekirby:
I'm in the same situation, they've charged £49 upfront cost, and I won't receive it until the 1st of May after being told the 17th back at the beginning of this month. But I don't think the contract monthly bills start until you activate your sim, that is if you aren't just upgrading your contract...
[Xperia Z2 General] edge3uk:
I'm in the same situation, except mine started in 24th March. I'm not sure much can be done, or even should be, as when we accepted the contract we were aware it wasn't released til a later date
[Xperia Z2 General] Jhames:
When I accepted the contract it was due to be delivered last Thursday.

Also to the guy above, mine was an upgrade. From the one x, boy am I starting to regret leaving HTC xD
[Xperia Z2 General] edge3uk:
It'll all work out lol. It's only a couple of weeks away..... Til three let us know it'll be June haha
[Xperia Z2 General] arian009:
LOOOL, I think three is ripping people off for the first time, They used to be cheapest and the now they took away unlimited tethering and slowly taking away things making them lose customers, including me.
[Xperia Z2 General] PiskopatYazar:
I agree Im lucky Im with the one plan £15 a month I checked that it went up to £20 and not too sure if you are getting tethering.

I phoned them up and asked for a good deal she was telling me everything all you can eat £44 a month. I told her Im not willing to pay more than £30 at the beginning :). I asked to get 100 mins 200 texts unlimited data and happy to pay some upfront cost she said they can do 100 mins unlimited data and text £38 a month no upfront cost. Im still not taking it I think I will buy pay as you go from amazon and keep my sim only deal with three because with this kind of devices you need unlimited data 1gb data the companies are giving just having laugh with people.
[Xperia Z2 General] lozfromcorby:
Hi.

Been lurking a bit but just thought I'd add my details.

I ordered one last week. Thought I'd give Sony a shot this time round.

Ordered from dialaphone (owned by phones4u I believe.

After 4 days of not even an email I asked them what was going on. They emailed me saying sorry etc and that they're expecting it w/c 24th April.

I'm not overly concerned just yet as if I got it now it will overlap current contract by a month. So its actually saving me money.

Anyway I thought the offer was pretty good...EE 1000mins unlimited text and 1gb data for £29.99 a month and zero upfront.
[Xperia Z2 General] edge3uk:
That 1gig of data is going to ruin you. 4 should be the absolute minimum these days. This is how they make their money. Unlimited is the best obviously
[Xperia Z2 General] lozfromcorby:
I dunno. At moment I only have 750mb and I rarely go over, plus they don't charge if u go over they continue to let u browse and email. We shall see. If its not enough I can always add to my contract. I just emailed saying I want a white one now. Changed my mind hope it don't affect my place in queue!
[Xperia Z2 General] arian009:
On their website it says expected delivery 17th of April. Do think, I should cancel my order with carphone warehouse and go with this one? Because I got the exact same deal from carphone warehouse, except i'm gonna have to pay 100 pounds upfront
[Xperia Z2 General] mean-machine:
I've had a look at Samsung S5 and HTC One M8 in Carphone Warehouse today. During the conversation, I asked guys about the Z2 and even though they initially they wouldn't have them in stock till May, after checking the system, it turned out it is to be available from the 22nd April. They were surprised themselves, but it correlates with what some people in Phones4U said (22/04) so it might not be such a long wait after all.
[Xperia Z2 General] arian009:
On Phones4U website it says expected delivery 17th of April...
[Xperia Z2 General] mean-machine:
Yes, it does. They do actually have some stock, but cannot ship till the 17th. On that day, they are to get more phones and ship them on the 22nd.
[Xperia Z2 General] fatguy666:
Well, tomorrow is the day I was originally quoted by the Three guy instore so if I don't here off them I guess I'll just wait longer.

Seriously can't believe the amount of people saying they're jumping to the S5 or M8. I am desperate to get away from the HTC Desire I'm stuck with at the moment but I made the decision months ago to get the Z2 and no amount of delays is gonna change my mind!!!
[Xperia Z2 General] BanziBaby:
The three website still says the 1st Of May & the confirmation email I got when I did my pre order says the same.
[Xperia Z2 General] Jejoma:
I had a text from Carphone Warehouse last Friday saying delivery would be w/c 14/4. With the bank holiday coming and having heard nothing I called them to be told the date had now slipped to May 1st. They took my money on 26/3 so I got a little testy with them and cancelled my order.

The best deal if we're talking May seems to be Amazon but I'm going to have another look at the HTC One M8. It's just the quality of the camera that puts me off.
[Xperia Z2 General] rehanraza:
Guys I just spoke to one of Vodafone cancellation team member. He confirmed after speaking with his manager that stock is expected either today evening or tomorrow and most probably all eligible customers will be send out text by 9:00 am tomorrow but you won't receive device until coming Tuesday or wed due to bank holidays.
[Xperia Z2 General] lozfromcorby:
Just phoned and changed mine to White.

Was told I'll get it Tuesday by DPD who will text me time slot. We shall see...
[Xperia Z2 General] Publicglutton:
Look I really doubt that anyone will be receiving thier Z2 until the end of April early may,

Why?

Well because I pre-ordered and paid for mine on the 23rd February and this was from the Sony UK store, I've spoken with Sony customer support on several occasions & been put straight through to E commerce team twice which is 1 down from the team that give the go ahead to release the product.....

First I was told week commencing 01/04/14 then this was delayed until the 14/4/14 it has now been further delayed until the week commencing 30/04/14 and that is the very latest information.....so I very much doubt that vodafone, carphone warehouse or anyone else will get theirs before Sony store send out their stock....:rolleyes:

[Xperia Z2 General] PiskopatYazar:
I decided to wait till my sim only deal ends in July. I really don't wanna pay £550 right away as I'm pretty sure it will be down some amount in 3 months time. Note 3 is £368 on Amazon.de that phone has been out recently HTC One m8 is for £460 on three it just came out a month ago. Better to wait a wee while and pay less.
