Hi all, for those in North America that cannot wait for the release date here have you had any interest in importing this phone from another country that has it already available?
If so, which one and are there any downfalls?
I'm wondering if this phone will work here if it's from another region, being unlocked.
Also cheapest region to import?
I just bought one from a seller on ebay for $679 shipped (2 biz days fedex) and seems to be pretty legit. We will see.
I preordered from Handtec in UK and is supposed to ship next week. It's a little less than $600 shipped to US with a few gifts included (http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/6338/sony-xperia-s--sim-free-unlocked--black-)
so my local chinese mall has them in stock.
gonna go check it out tommorrow and purchase if legit.

ahhhhh jesus I can't wait till I get this in my hand, I want it so badly.In China they don't have it yet.I'm thinking of getting this from ebay or somewhere.
Bad news guys, they didn't have the Xperia S.
They guy at the phone store screwed up, he thought I was referring to the Xperia Arc S... goddammit.
Why does Sony release the Arc S now in Canada? Nobody cares, we want the S.
Looks like I'll have to import elsewhere.
I'll bet you money that Rogers screwed us. They had a big splash when releasing the Arc/Play first and I wouldn't doubt they had a deal to sell through those and the Arc S.
So now they tell Sony to wait lets say 3-4 months after they release the Arc S so they can sell those before they bring the S here.
it looks like rogers is in the same case as telcel in mexico, they're just introducing the arc s which is a 1 yeard old phone
think I'd import it

Hey Nimche, did you get it from the Japanese seller from last time when we were all getting the Xperia Arc? I found a similar deal on Ebay (never-msrp) that says he'll get it on 3/9 or 3/11 at the latest. He helped answer a few of my questions and seems really responsive. Thinking about giving him a try. BTW, are you getting a black or white one?

It is already clear that the Nexus 10 is not coming to the Netherlands. Which is weird because the Nexus 7 did saw a release in Holland.
ARTICLE: http://www.androidworld.nl/132761/samsung-nederland-nexus-10-komt-definitief-niet-naar-nederland/
Basicly Samsung Netherlands is saying that the Nexus 10 will not come to Holland for unknown reasons.
So, how mad are you?
it will be sold here.
even if Google and Samsung both say no some stores will probably just import from Germany.
lets hope the mediamarkt germany is selling it !
Why frick when you can by from outline retailers... sure you gotta pay extra.. but trust me the beast that is the nexus 10.. its worth price...

Can't you guys just pop down to Sweden or Denmark and buy it there? No big deal.
I will just order it from Google Play UK and get it delivered here.
im pretty pissed! was looking forward to replacing my Asus Transformer Prime with Nexus 10! Will look around to see if i can order it in Germany or UK! but please share if you find a shop with good prices that ships to NL.
BTW any word on Nexus 4?
Scandinavia
Does anyone know of any stores in Scandinavia that will sell the Nexus 10? I was pretty heartbroken when I read that it would not be for sale here.
Thinking about importing.
The tablet looks lovely. Actually sold my iPad 2 today. Just like I got rid of my iPhone 4 upon the release of the SIII.
I'll also order from the UK, have it shipped to family then onwards. Should work out cheaper as well after seeing the German price.
eBay will probably do the trick...or forward through a UK or even US address.
But sad it won't be sold in the stores

I've been like always mad @ google for this. I am spanish and live in the netherlands, i tired to buy a nexus 7 in the netherlands (1 month ago) and it was really hard as it was always sold out and i couldn't get it from the play store. i finally bought it in spain. Besides of that, when i connected to wifi in the netherlands, the icons of play movies and books misteriously dissapeared. I used market enabler to recover them (they where disabled?), but i cannot do anything with them. And now samsung doesn't sell nexus 10 in the netherlands!? seriusly, what the :angel: . The rest of europe gets to enjoy the things we can't... This is also the reason why the ipad/iphone are far more popular here. I take my nexus 7 everyday to school and until now (2 weeks passed), i get daily the same comment: "is this an ipad mini?" me: "no, ST:angel:U" other: "then it sucks, ipad is far better"

the best thing to do is wait a bit maybe the big stores like mediamarkt, dixons ,saturn wont sell it but there are some small stores that will sell it. or you can easily import it in Germany (they get all the cool stuff) there are a lot places 5 minutes across the border where you can buy them. i think i will also buy one but need to look where.......... but the saddest thing is the nexus 10 will be imported via the netherlands ( harbor of rotterdam) and from there transported out of netherlands

I know that feel man. I have exactly the same problems with my Nexus 7. I was very lucky to get it here in the Netherlands, called Dixons and the shipping was still in boxes but i could pick one up.
About the whole iPad mini thing: Basicly everyone tought i had a iPad mini too. I don't mind it tough, I know it is far better.
Personally I think I will be buying the Nexus 10 in Germany, since this is the easiest and most affordable.
I find it a little strange since The Netherlands can be a big market for the Nexus 10.
Nevertheless, Germany is only a one hour drive away so lets hope Media Markt / Saturn will sell them from November 13th.

That is really sad.. maybe it will eventually come to the Netherlands just like the Nexus 7 (that is what i'm hoping for). Remember that the Nexus 7 was never officially announced, only people who knew about it knew that it came to Holland

I call bull. Maybe the stores might not have it right away or short supply but I highly doubt that the stores will never sell the white one. Besides its still not the 25th yet so maybe they will get some more shipments this week.

Good to hear, my friend who works at a COR store said online only, but she can be wrong. Of course she wasn't about the purple Xperia Z, but hey.

We'll know soon enough guys! Can't wait until tomorrow to see if the store where I got my One last week has white ones in stock.
I called 15 stores in the area in the last coupe days finally found one who said they had a white G2. Got there & the manager wanted me to pay a restocking fee to exchange even though I told him my One was defective (gap issue).
He tried to cut a deal with me to sell me 50 bucks worth of accessories & when they saw I wasn't budging, the girl behind the counter told me all of a sudden they don't have the white phone anymore only black...
I dont think most stores will be getting the white in stock. Judging by the info that I've seen with the device it will be treated like the purple xperia or the white note 2. There may be hope for some high volume stores getting it.

Hey guys, I work in Virgin media and have phones4u next door.
I was speaking to someone and they said its on sale at the minute because its being discontinued. Apparently people come back saying all the xperia line are terrible. I've had nothing but good news from the people who buy the ones we sell.
But yes, they are cheap at the moment. Around £300 for unlocked. Or £27.99 on contract.
I find it hard that its so bad Sony are discontinuing one of there phones, maybe they will unveil a new ultra?
This also means no more support. I reckon an update for 4.4.3 will come out. Maybe 1 extra update after that and I'll be dead
What a shame.

No it won't be discontinued that fast. the fact that GPe version exists and that in Japan, there are additional version of Z Ultras that just have been announced 2-3 months ago, should not end this mighty of a phone that quick. But if we're talking for the next Z2 Ultra might be pushed early, that should be the reason.
In the mean time, Sony should stick with 18 month of policy for at least their Z branded Xperias. heck even the original Xperia Z might taste KitKat after all, which for the Z Ultra should be updated at least until the end of year 2014.
Glad i got one when i did then. loved every minute of ownership and dont see that changing anytime soon.

I highly doubt that Sony is discontinuing it. It's more plausible that Phones4U is getting rid of it, and therefore having the sale. They are probably waiting for the Z2 Ultra.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
Perhaps, I wouldn't of thought Sony would make another Ultra, it doesn't seem to have sold well at all, and you can make the phone any bigger without it being a tablet, and you couldn't make it smaller because what's the point.
It seems phones4u and EE are not doing it anymore, haven't checked other carries

I'm sure there will be another version, just look at the large phones in Asia.
I probably wont be getting the Z2 Ultra - cant see the point in upgrading every year, lets see what the Z3 ultra brings to the table:laugh:
Thus tablet looks very promising, but there isn't a lot of info out there on it. I currently have a nexus 7, but am looking at getting a 10". When is the z2 coming to the US and at what price? Am I the only one exited about this?

Not entirely sure if it'll come with a carrier. But the wifi version will probably be available just like the Tablet Z was. Both in Sony Stores and in resellers like Amazon, Best Buy, etc...
Best guess is it'll run $499 for a wifi 16Gb just like the Tablet Z did, and $599 for a 32Gb model. Mobile connectivity versions a bit higher, depending on if you buy them straight up or on a contract.
Last I heard indicated either late April or early May for release in the US. Probably May is more likely I bet.
The cellular model looks like Sony made one model with every band in it.
So you could import and will work on Att and T-mobile.
It even has 1700/2100 band for t-mobile HSPA

Wow! I'm not here to bash, or promote, any particular retailer. I'm just a guy who wants to buy one of these and am frustrated that Sony isn't selling them here the U.S. (Similar story with the Z1C phone which I ended up buying from the U.K.)
But ... Did you really pay $1500 at Tropical Mobile (price I see on eBay) for a device which retails around the world for $5-600?
If so, my hat's off to you for being bold and decisive. I'm still waiting, hoping for a good option from the U.K. or from Sony USA. The price from the U.K., when available, is forecast at about $590 with support from Sony UK and a two year warranty. There are apparently reputable U.S. eBay sellers offering no-support Europe versions for $510. The latter are promised to already be through customs and ready to ship; what I read at Tropical Mobile is ambiguous about where they actually are and if there might still be customs issues.

I got the WIFI+LTE version from Tropical on Ebay.
I purchased about 10 days ago and the price for the wifi+lte version was $690
I see he just recently raised the price to over $1,000
Mine came from Singapore. Left Singapore and was at JFK and cleared customs the next day. No problems at all
Mine left Singapore too. I paid $560. It wasn't $1000 or so like u said at that time. So no need to rage just simple ask...

Thanks for both answers. That all seems much more reasonable. The big question I struggle with on any of these imports is warranty. Sony typically warrants their products for two years (sometimes with an offer of a 3rd year for an extra penny). I may never need it, but I hate to give it up. Did you get any kind of warranty?

When I was buying from tropical mobile on eBay, the description said 1 year manufacturer warranty. So I guess it doesn't matter where you bought it, Sony has the tab serial,identity, they would automatically cover you with 1 year warranty. Idk. That's my guess...

I wouldn't assume that means anything. They may or may not be an authorized reseller, but if you take the device to Sony's repair facilities in another country, they may not cover it.
Sony USA for example has their own repair network. Their repair centers may not even have access to software or hardware for devices that aren't officially sold in the US market.
I'm not saying that the warranty is void, but unless you confirm it's valid with Sony and will be covered in your home country, I would not assume. I've got a lot of friends in the Philippines and they deal with that stuff all the time with items they have friends ship to them from the states. To the point where sometimes they ship items back to us for us to send in for repair, since the item is only covered under warranty in the US since that's where it was purchased. Similar circumstances may prove out for these.
That said, the prices are surprising. The SGP311 sold for $499 here in the states and I'd assumed the new Z2 Tablet 16GB wifi counterpart would sell for similar. I can buy that SGP511 model for $520-550 on Ebay. Even the LTE model is readily available in 16GB for $629. The cheapest I saw the TMobile complaint LTE Tablet Z was for about $650 in the states, without a subsidy.
I'm half tempted to buy a white 16GB LTE SGP521 just because I'm almost afraid prices will go up when the US model is available.
I may be overly pessimistic and completely wrong, but I both assume and expect that if I self-import an offshore Sony product that Sony USA week disavow any responsibility for it. Best case is that I would have to send it back to the country of export.

They honestly answered my warranty question, which (to my shame) scared me away, or at least caused me pause. I'm not sure from your post... have you received it? Since they offered two-day delivery, I guessed they had the product in the U.S.A. already, which made me more comfortable about it not having to get through customs. How long did it take to arrive? It's supposed to have a U.S. plug; is it a satisfactory charger? Anyway, congratulations.
