Anyone know if any US carriers will be offering the device? I'm with T-Mobile and they have the Xperia Z (a million years after is initial release) and I was wondering if they may follow up with xperia z ultra?

No such information yet.
In fact, I hope that the Ultra WON'T be picked up by a US carrier since it will result in a branded, bloated version with outdated ROM and locked bootloader. The T-Mobile Z is a warning (stuck on 4.1.2 for now, ugly logo on the back, bloatware and locked bootloader) and I would be sad if such a magnificent device as the Ultra would be castrated and humiliated like that.
The Ultra should be experienced as a pure Sony experience. To paraphrase an old Panasonic ad: "Visit Sony Store. Sony all the way. Nothing else."
What I hope for is that Sony will sell the C6806 in their stores since the Sony Store is great. They offer decent financing options too with their Sony Card with different rewards and points for those that doesn't want to pay it outright.
It is time for people in the US to buy devices unlocked, unbranded, bypassing the carriers altogether. What those carriers are doing to their devices is just horrible and sad.
T Mobil
I have the unlocked, unbranded X.Z.U. running T-Mobile and I couldn't be happier!
The only thing is I have to turn off WiFi in order to send picture texts. Why? No one knows!
Look into your MMS settings, that might be your problem.

Hey all, I am very interested in this phone, but I have a question...
I had the Z1s on T-Mobile, and as far as I remember, it wasn't rootable, and I couldn't put my custom rom on there. Is this possible with the Z2? I would love to have a stock Google rom on there if possible, as I am not a fan of the Sony skin and bloatware, but I am loving the phone design, and camera.
Just make sure you buy one with an unlockable bootloader (not carrier branded) and root is no problem
I was planning on ordering through Amazon, I believe it says it is unlocked.
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-FACTORY-...qid=1401772900&sr=8-2&keywords=sony+xperia+z2
Will that work on T-Mobile?
Yes - I'm using it on tmobile. It gets LTE.

I'm also looking at getting a Z2 to use on T-Mobile in the US. I hope this unit you linked to is bootloader unlockable. Is this the lowest price you have found? I'm searching high and low for the best price before pulling the trigger.
Thats the best price that I've found online.
Hey, just ordered an Xperia Z Ultra C6806 from amazon to use as a Tertiary Device. My question is, is it a GPE device or just the standard LTE model?
It's white, just for reference.
GPE doesnt come in white....and you will get LTE no matter what.....
While working to get my GPe Ultra back up and running, I was looking around for any good deals in case I have to end up buying a replacement, and came across a 32-GB version of the Z Ultra. I was so tempted but ultimately, I prefer LTE & this one is (Japan version) not LTE compatible with US At&t. But if anyone is interested, take a look at
http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNLOCKED-NE...542?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35e3aac226
I did confirm with the seller that it is not the Wifi only version, and not compatible with At&t LTE
Hopefully, the Z4 version will be out soon (maybe get more info next in March) and will have 32GB minimum.

That's what I thought too, but apparently, there is a cellular model:

ZTE UK have mistimed the launch, the Amazon pro-order listing that went up yesterday was the official one even though the countdown only ended today - so there's a one month wait plus 2-3 weeks for delivery! And it's still not listed on ZTE UK's website.
The Quartz Grey should be launched sometime in August and there currently no plan at all for the 6GB / 128GB model.
It's a better phone than the OnePlus 3 but ZTE really need to sort out their marketing and distribution.

I pre-ordered it from Amazon UK and have an estimated delivery date of 1-3 August.
I hope they also release it on Ebay since I have some PayPal money I can't get rid of.
How do you know the release date of the Quartz Grey version ?
Sentable date: 30.07.2016 for the Gold one. But i think there just gonna be the 64GB Version. Anyway, more than in my HTC One M8!
I can not wait any longer. Want it now
All the amazon links for the phone in Europe, except UK, are currently showing as unavailable...The european launch just gets worse and worse.

It seems that all the efforts are now focusing US market and they are forgetting about european market for now.
Some good news guys!! Those who have ordered from the UK amazon seller i sent them an email complaining about the delivery date and got the reply that the ZTE original supplier dispatched from China on 15th July, so we should be getting the phones on time/ ahead of time, hopefully by the end of next week!
Since amazon UK won't ship internationally, will other Europe site do that? Couldn't spot that on amazon sites.
Thinking of software side, there shouldn't be any differences between phones shipped by amazon.fr, .de, ... , or is there?
Presumably they should be the same. The uk listing says it is an eu model

Any idea on how to get the phone in Europe?, pretty much, all the Amazon listing are gone and Amazon UK doesn't ship internationally.
Axon 7 could be only a vapour ware in Europe.
The availability is already uncertain.
The better option is simply ignore Axon 7 go for 1+3 or wait for the next nexus devices.
This was the email i received from the Amazon UK seller for those who are curious:
Dear client,
Thanks for your kindly patience and i just confirmed with our product manager and ZTE original supplier good news that the items has been dispatched from China to UK on 15th July.
Thus we hope all the orders would be dispatched in time /ahead time .
have a nice day

617 is a pretty bad processor, they should put the 652 or 650 at least.
