I found out that Mobistar is selling this phone for 199€ (unlocked and w/out subscription as always in Belgium)... plus there's 30€ cashback from october 1 till december 31... I'll try to get my grubby hands on one now...
Are you sure it's the Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) and not the X10 Mini Pro?
I've seen the X10 at the same price here in italy

Yes!
quite sure. 199€, 30€ cashback for SK17i. I've had it in my hands but I'm not hurried, I'm waiting until there's more news about the Cicada Syndrom (will get one before end of december though, 30€ rebate is nothing to sneeze at)
EDIT: by the way, it's an azerty phone so only the french and us will find it any good

Hi guys.
I'm thinking about buying the Docomo xperia z2, I'm currently living in Japan and the z2 is definitely my ideal phone.
However, the launcher is a launcher specific to Japan, and I'm not exactly a big fan of it.
Does anyone know if it is possible to change it to the stock Sony launcher without root? I will probably root it, but just for warranty purposes I'm not sure if I will or not.
Also, does anyone know if the bootloader is unlockable on this model?
Any other general advice about buying a phone in Japan would be great as well.
Also would roms for the D6503 work for this model?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Launcher can be changed just by installing an APK.
Go to DOCOMO store and open up the phone and type in *#*#7378423#*#* and check if the bootloader can be unlocked.
Phone should be locked to DOCOMO, you need to pay a small fee to get it unlocked. You need to make at least one call on an active DOCOMO SIM to complete the SIM unlock.
I don't think D6503 will work, it may depending on the hardware. The SO-03F has a 1Seg tuner inside and may have different radio to access the docomo Xi LTE network.

docomo Xperia Z2 (SO-03F) has stock Xperia Launcher.
You can change docomo original launcher and stock Xperia launcher as you like.
but All Japanese Xperia models can't unlock bootloader, Japanese Career Model is locked bootloder.
You can flash D6503 Roms on docomo SO-03F, but some feathers are disabled.
In the case of Xperia Z, SO-02E rom can be flashed on C6602 and C6603. I think it should work on the other way around. Xperia Z2 should be the same way as well. The only concern is that you will absolutely lose oneseg/fullseg tv and mobile payment. I think the only main concern on Docomo Xperia is not the launcher but the annoying phonebook and dialer.
To be honest, even I'm using Xperia Z2 but when I went to Tsukumo and spent some times with SH-04F, I liked it more. It has better audio output via headphone, Bigger screen but not so big. My only concern is that I don't live there, I was just a tourist so updating device could be a real pain.

From my understanding the only real difference was the 16GB vs the 32GB of internal storage. But there is a place in Shibuya that said they would be selling it unlocked real soon called Mobile Japan..

If Sony Mobile Japan plans to release unlocked SO-03F, I'll wait for it!

Yes, Sony is out of Russia.
