Shops in Belgium are stupid in general, The Phone House is the only one that has more information on the right now.
Shops that have them from next week import them from The Netherlands/Germany/France/UK. The Belgian customization with pre-installed Belgian apps will not be available before April 2.
Cheapest in Belgium with availability starting next week will be www.gsmwijzer.be.
just pre-ordered one from SONY store in Hong Kong. Sales said release date would be 7-8 March for the black model and mid-to-late Mar for the white one. For my purchase (of the white model), the collection date is "after 19 Mar".

I am planning to purchase Z4 tablet (WiFi version), however, I want to make sure that I get a version that has an unlockable bootloader. Since there is no official distribution in North America, it seems that my best bet is to purchase from eBay from Taiwanese seller for $535.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Sony-Xp...260082?hash=item4aee84cb32:g:1gAAAOSw8-tWZPJs
I was visiting Taiwan in August 2015, however, the price regular retailers were asking at that time was over $700 and I did not purchase it.
The issue with this eBay reseller is that they don't know if Z4 tablets they sell come with unlockable bootloader or not and tell my to assume that it's not unlockable which is a deal breaker for me.
Does anyone know reliable on line reseller that offers Z4 tablets with unlockable bootloader at a reasonable price?

Yes, thanks, I saw it on Amazon but it's also quite a bit more expensive there... On top of it, the Canadian customs will slap me with duties and taxes for purchases from USA. With our "smart" government artificially devaluing CAD$ against US$ in order to improve export revenue this tablet would cost me CAD$ 1200 which is a lot more I am willing to pay. I'can get over the fact that between 2007-2014 CAD$/US$ were essentially 1:1.
There is a good chance that I will visit Asia in 2016 as well and perhaps then there will be Z5 model available.
The 10 inch tablets have tended to go every other update, so Z, Z2 and Z4, which the Z3 only being the Compact tablet. Following this in future it seems a Z5 Compact Tablet would likely be coming?

The Sony Tablet S and Xperia Tablet S have a 9.4 inch screen. The Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia Z2 Tablet, and Xperia Z4 Tablet have a 10.1 screen. The Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact has a 8.0 screen, which to me, makes it Sony's only "compact" tablet so far. I suspect the rumored Xperia Z5 Premium Tablet (perhaps revealed during CES Las Vegas 2016) will have a 10+ inch 4k screen.

As of 4th June '16 zauba.com shows Xiaomi (rn3) imports coming in, so when will be the next sale in India.
I'm waiting to get a Grey one but fears that it won't launch again. I badly need one.
As of now, only 2GB/16GB version is in stock at mi.com. Out of stock everywhere else and nobody knows when it will be back, hopefully soon though.
Hello guys,
I am thinking about buying Mate 20 pro as my new smartphone. I really love it overall, but I am also scared of #gluegate.
As I see in Internet threads and groups that were talking about it recently get silence, and the phone is still selling great.
So my question is - should I worry about screen in this device or buying it 8 months after release date is now completly safe, becouse new parts of M20pro are modified/improved?
Not heard of any recent issues. Was just the first batch.
I have the first batch, no issues with the display so far
How can I find my device's batch? And which batches had problems?
I think that this was a problem of only first batches, but I am not sure.
Production date is in serial number
6 and 7th sign of serial number is year of production
8th sign is month:
number 1 to 9 are months from January to september
A, B or C means october, november and december
So for example 18C means december 2018
191 means January 2019

If you download hw device info to the phone you can see if its a boe or a lg panel. I have had zero issues with 3 different boe panels. Every lg had the issue.
Mine is 18C and no issues at all with anything.

I have LG panel no problems. Works sent 6 boe panel handsets back on recent weeks
To those who had purchased the LG V60 since the official launch on 20 March for U.S carriers, can I trouble you to check what is your hardware version?
You can find the hardware version under Settings > System > About Phone > Hardware info
Mine is a review sample unit with Hardware Version Rev 1.0. Just wondering if there are further revision since the review sample units. Thanks!
Mine arrived yesterday March 26th and was ordered from tmobile on the 25th
Good to know. Thanks for sharing!
