I sold my HTC One X, and have found the Xperia S and I'm ready to buy one from a USA Importer like Xpansys.
I read about the screen issues so what SW does the thing need to have to be in the new batch without the screen issues.
Also anyone using this phone on ATT, i take it it gets full HSDPA + data.
Thanks
All new comes ready to roll eithout yellow tint. Only first wave had that problem.

Not really, stock in a shop could be a month or two old. And you cant tell manufacturing week/build line from the box. Ask the staff to show you the backplate and look for 12w12+ and Not AA [eg AB are reportedly clean].
Also, read the screen thread.

Oh yeah, forgot, think it only gets EDGE bands on ATT, do a search.

The Global Mobiles is not listed on Amazon, I guess they are out of stock on the phone.

Unless I missed it, does anyone have any links to order or preorder an s-view case for the Gnote 3?
So far all I have found is ebay listings for cases in china and Australia (for the real deal that is).
Would love to get my case before my GN3 shows up. Any help, links appreciated.
the authentic smart view cases from china has the Samsung packaging those goes for around $10~$13

I order one of the cheapies already and I only found 2 people that say the ones they are selling are 100% auth ($60). Of course anyone can say its authentic and sell fake, however the 2 vendors I looked at have deep and decent ratings. Anywho, it looks like no stateside source yet. I am still scratching my head as to how they can release the phone and no accessories.
Strange..really surprised they aren't listed as an accessory yet. Samsung dropped the ball there.

Here, some wireless companies had cases (Although the better ones take time to come out) but to my knowledge, most of the time they don't have official Samsung accessories on launch. Samsung didn't "drop the ball" Blame whoever you purchased the phone from in Greece, for not carrying any type of accessories.
I dont see the back battery covers =-(
Samsung is always really delayed when it comes to accessories though.
Government shut down makes customs slow for shipments.

Most of you know me, or have seen me around.... so are probably aware of my, 8 week cold turkey stint without my Ultra.
Reason being: There was a small repair needed.
... However today I took my family on a small tramp, in the sun, to a water hole for a swim..
I was taking some picture with my Ultra, and the screen started flickering... so i powered it off and then back on... 'black screen'
Everything was still working, but black screen. (obviously can't see anything) Went to do a hard power off, by holding the red button, and hmmm whats that. the white humidity paper is red. **crap!** the lens on both the front and back have fog all over them. No I've never even taken my device underwater, it may have received a few splash's today, but caps are always closed... and they were today.
conclusion:
The last repair was completed, and the device was not sealed properly...
So... awaiting a response to my rather lengthy email... (very polite) and will see what the company say whom i bought it from.
They are based in Hong Kong, and it cost me $120 NZD to send it there and back... (I had to pay both freight costs)
SO.... there you go. fricken awesome! My device is dead again!
Oh god no.. I don't know what to say. The typical thing now is that you'll ship it away (again) and we'll receive 4.4 the day after. Just watch it happen.
hey lord I send you a private message. nothing important but. i'm going off topic but can you tell me or any body knows how to make the screen home page larger or to expend once the DPI has downsize to 280 DPI
In the imortial words of Toyta: Bugger
Oh man that sucks. Maybe you could buy a new one and when this one finished, you just have to sell it?

I've used it in the rain, before I had the initial repair. worked fine, the humidity paper was still white. BUt the last repair company was complete rubbish. Was not my call as it was shipped to Hong Kong (where i purchased it) and they had it repaired.
So if your device is new, and not been opened then you're safe.

Hmm no such problems.
I've gotten two Z1 Compact and both had the gap. One more than other.
I don't know if it is relatively normal or simply a not so good construction by Sony.
Has it been confirmed that the gap compromises the waterproof qualities of the phone or is it just sloppy construction??

Mine have the gap too.
White unit from Taiwan.
Actully, don`t care about the gaps, it`s just not quite exactly glued the glass, need to rotate counterclockwise just a little bit
Much more concerned about single speaker plaiyng when incoming calls
This is a fail of the fails!
This is a little worrying. But as with all new devices, there's release bugs.
Ordering my Z2 (Purple with any luck) in a couple of weeks when we have them available here in Australia. Hopefully the batches coming to us are a little more refined. The single speaker on calls should be a simple software update I would imagine. Same for 4K recording overheating, but hell, the power of such a small camera in a thin device, can't expect to record much more than a few minutes regardless.
