A Z for the V? - Xperia Z General

I'm dying for a worthy replacement for my Razr. I believe I have found it in the z! Any chance we May see it on Verizon's network?

None if you ask me. Sony isn't really bothering with the US this year (focusing on Japan and Europe) and was never big on building phones for Verizon/Sprint.
You're better off switching to T-Mobile or AT&T and getting an unlocked one from Sony.com.

I would switch in a heartbeat except I don't want to give up my unlimited data plan. Guess I may end up waiting for the X phone.

You're most likely to see the UL, as it is designed for networks transitioning from cdmaOne and friends to LTE but not yet finished.

Force changes (Verizon)

Hey guys, recently my dad has not been happy with at&t and has decided to switch our whole family (4 people) to Verizon.. I love my Atrix but sadly it is a GSM phone and it wont work on Verizon. I will be needing a new phone on Verizon and was wondering which phone(s) would be a good transition to from the Atrix.

Droid X2 coming out next week
Do you know if it'll be any good?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Looked up the specs and only 512mb ram and worse battery life than the Atrix is a deal breaker for me

They don't have a comparable phone yet.

As of right now, nothing on Verizon can match the atrix in terms of ram. If I were you I'd go with the Droid X 2, since hardware wise its a larger atrix with less ram.
What if I convinced my dad to wait until the sgs2 cane out? Do you think that'd be better?

Want new phone

What phone should I buy unlocked? HTC one X and galaxy s III don't support T-mobile 4g. I really want new phone but don't know what the best phone that supports T-Mobile 4g is? I don't want the one S

Then you are out of luck for a couple of months, unless you want the s2, amaze, or sensation
I was just hoping anyone had a hack or sth for one x or s 3, guess I'll wait till s3 come to our magenta

Can't "hack" a phone to make it support different frequencies. That's at the hardware level.

Why don't you like the one s?
And the art HOX is essentially the HOS with a bigger screen. Unless you go over seas for a euro version but doubt it will work on tmo 4g..
If your wanting the latest n greatest phone I would wait a few months when the next band of phones come out. I am not all to impressed with the sgs3. But that's my onion which is apparently opposite of 9.million other people
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA
have you checked out the Galaxy Nexus? It's pentaband meaning that it also supports T-Mobile 4G as well as AT&T. My friend has it and he gets 4G on his Galaxy Nexus.
They sell it for $400 over at Google Play Store. You should check it out
Yeah I was thinking of getting the nexus. I most likely will wait for next batch though

I guess the sgs 3 coming to T-Mobile after all.

One of Sony's other sites (I forget where...) indicated that at least one ZL model would support AT&T LTE.
What is interesting is that it sounds like (from another thread) that AT&T will not be selling this model - which would make it the first device not sold by AT&T to support their LTE bands. I'm wondering if this might be a sign that AT&T will be allowing their MVNOs to use the LTE network soon???

I would assume the ZL model would be the C6506. From what I've seen from stat sheets it's probably the one coming to North America. In Canada, were getting the ZL, and the C6506 supports our Canadian LTE and HSPA bands.

It's interesting because C6506 will support ALL of our Canadian carrier bands for 2g, 3g AND 4g. One phone everywhere = more support for development and accessories. What's even better is ATT and MetroPCS are also compatible on every respective bands (including LTE)

I was going by what I knew at that time, but it won't be coming from AT&T, only works on it's network. I can't say too much right now other than there is a model that supports AT&T LTE. Don't know when or if it will be sold direct from Sony in the US.
ZL is coming soon.

thanks, i ordered the xperia z from clove 2 days ago (couldn't wait till july for sony to release this in the US) but now i have canceled it, hopefully they'll announce the release date soon.
Is the AT&T variant going to have different specs?
Whatever ATT offers, I hope it retains the ip57 certification. Huge selling(buying) point for me.

I think it's true... considering that HTC themselves said so...
If it is would it be a big deal? I don't know how HTC phones work really, I've modded a evo once but that's it. I've been a Sammy user for 3 years.

Well... A month the first time. Then they updated the firmware and that took about 5 months to crack... Still can't root the latest update... I'd be willing to bet we'll be waiting a long time. But hey, maybe this device will get popular.

I am hoping I get mine early so I can use HTCDev to unlock it before that gets disabled. I am not optimistic about it though.
It might already be locked out if att is shipping it.

Don't know why people are suprised by this. They locked every htc in recent history and also the Dev version would be completely irrelevant if you could unlock the AT&T version.

I'm surprised because I didn't know that. As a samsung user I don't pay much attention to htc.

Now that the phone has been out for a weekend by AT&T, is there any definitive proof that the AT&T one can still unlock the bootloader via HTC dev post 4/19?
Has anyone attempted it? Or are people receiving retail units with the bootloader locked?

Verizon

Damn, if this is coming out on Verizon tomorrow, Verizon isn't doing lg any favors. They don't know at the stores yet. Sometimes I think Samsung owns part of Verizon. They know all about note III. I'm a little disappointed at the lack of ANY buzz. Seems like only people who are hard core phone junkies have even heard about it
