The reports I'm hearing from mates in phone shops here, is that they ain't shifting anymore at all hardly now. Guess people are hanging on for the S4???

Sony is slowly but surely finding its feet. Those numbers,if true, are very encouraging for Sony (and a feel good factor for us Z owners )
Lets hope the upcoming flagships cement Sony's position and reputation as a top manufacturer.

The article says "Sony could sell 4.6 million units of the Xperia Z in just 40 days"
So it does not say they they DID sell that many.
We'll, I hope they did. The phone is one of the best Sony have released in a long time. Everyone that I have shown it to is blown away by it. Easily the best Android phone I have used and I've had them all from the G1 till now
Edit: The article linked in the op is terrible. I still hope Sony move some units though as this phone is phenomenal!

LMAO. The Galaxy S3 sold more than 50 million. Nice try buddy.
I like the fact that this phone is a rarity. Makes it more exotic.

That info has been doing the rounds since yesterday. It's been reported by many quoting analysts. I don't think they'll be too far from the actual figure. It'll either be slightly less or slightly more.
It's still an impressive number and when you consider the fact that the phone isn't on sale in America, it's even more impressive.
Looks like the HTC didn't take much away from the Z but the S4, that's another story all together. Sales will definitely drop but if they can keep shifting 1.5 million of them every month. They'll finish the year ahead of target which is the most important thing. The Z was never going to wrestle the crown from Samsung. They are too far out in front for that but with good performance, they'll reach their target on claiming the number 3 spot from Huawei. No small feet indeed when you consider the very large Chinese market. Sony's unlikely too to penetrate the Chinese market because of the history between both peoples. They'll just have to rely on the rest of Asia and Europe. That's why they need to start looking to expand their reach in America. Europe and Asia might have been well receiving of the Z but without America, Samsung and Apple will stay out in front. HTCs problem is the reverse, they have a presence in America, particularly the US but elsewhere, they just have a niche following. With the exception of Taiwan of course.

Yes, let the fashion hindered people keep buying the s3 or s4. I cringe at the sight of one, it looks that bad. I don't understand why people are so in love with it.
To be honest, the only reason why Samsung picked up in the US is because if their kind replacement policy. Sales rep will sign your contact and claim 2-3 free devices on your behalf to make money.

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.
Anyone heard about an update for our phone. LG finally made a true flagship device, I hope they are ready as a company to act like a flagship manufacturer.

I guess you're talking about an update to Kit-Kat. If so, there are rumors of one in the works but still nothing official.

I'm sure we'll pretty much have to depend on the development community for updates.
January-March is my guess on official US carrier update. LG is a bit slow, but the carriers are what truly cause this.
Seriously,I messaged them and they told me it's on Motorola's end. This is hard to believe I'm getting very irritated with the lateness of kit Kat

Very hard to believe seeing as how Verizon was on it, next day T-Mobile gets updated and where is Sprint at?? The Sprint Galaxy Nexus was updated before any carrier, which was awesome but now the Moto X update to Kit Kat, not a word any where. I so wish my contract with Sprint was up because after being a 16 year Sprint customer, I am ready to jump ship with these fools. The network gets worse and worse everyday, it seems. It should not take this long for our Moto Xs to be updated!
Why are people still on sprint? It's no cheaper than any other carrier, and it has the worst signal. I get if you're stuck in a contract, but there are some that willingly sign a new one with them.
Could be Moto holding the update until a bug fixer is available for the rest of us. There are some bugs in Kit Kat that need attention.
Dude, US Cellular doesn't have it either... Doesn't matter how much we try. When it comes it comes.

Sprint service is actually amazing where I live compared to Verizon, so having unlimited data is very nice. T-Mobile and att are non existent

If you really want to get involved with participating previews of the update you have to join the Motorola Forums... Here's a link to help. (Must go back to stock if rooted. I believe stock unlocked boot loader is fine too) link: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/77d4221775 Joining this though and participating involves rules like here. Fightclub rule number 1?

Some people are experiencing hissing noises during calls that seems to only affect Sprint Moto Xs; other carrier Xs don't seem to have the issue and other phones in the same area of service for Sprint also don't exhibit this issue. This could also be a source for the delay.

Ouch...anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 months later than the other 3 major US carriers. That's almost as bad as historical Verizon status.

Good Lord I'm not even furious, I'm just taken aback. I'll be contacting Moto and Sprint to get some more solid info too. Honestly I would rather have a nice build of kit Kat than one with bugs!

Didn't Samsung say February for marshmallow on our Note 4? Or was it March? Either way no update what so ever this month?
It was scheduled for this month.
Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
This mo? Don't think so. The note 5, international mind you, has only just started seeing it as of yesterday so I wouldn't expect ours until towards the end of the second quarter at least. Besides you'll see an rdf pop up 1st once they actually start working on it then many more rdf versions until a final release. I'm dropping this phone the day the new g5 drops anyway. It's just uneceptible the g4 has marshmallow since Christmas along with practicality every other manufacturer except Samsung. The g5 looks to be a killer device too. Hope they really sink Samsungs ship with it honestly. Especially after the update fiasco for the note 4 last year. Typical Samsung fashion though. Rant over.

The G5 is a two-lens modular multi-featured camera pretending to be a smart phone.
If I want a modular high-quality digital camera, I'll buy one with a couple lenses I can switch between.
I want a smart phone, and I'm happy if it has nice camera features.
Each to his/her own, though.

Perhaps the release from Samsung was scheduled for this month - but Samsung releases to the carriers, at least in Sprint's case, and then the carrier does their thing with it until they deem it ready to release to their customers. Samsung doesn't set Sprint's schedule

International version would probably get it 1st before anyone then if that goes ok then they would release it to the carriers. At least that's how it usually goes. I've been keeping a close eye on sammobile for that to happen so hopefully soon.

Not necessarily - just because Sprint releases later than the international carriers doesn't mean that they receive it later. It's generally bad practice to openly treat some of your customers as guinea pigs for the benefit of the others, so it's more likely that Samsung sends out its generic rom to all carriers at the same time and Sprint just takes longer to add their proprietary bloat. It's also likely that Sprint waits to announce the upcoming version for the same reason xda devs don't do ETAs - because too many people take "estimate" to mean "promise" and get upset when delays happen.

It doesn't matter - either way brings us back to my original point, that Samsung's release dates are meaningless to us. We could get our update the next day, a year later, or never, with equal probability. The only useful deduction we can make from their release date is that we definitely *won't* see our update before that date, which really isn't very useful at all

Doze? Don't need it. I set my phone down on a wireless charger. It doesn't drain slowly, it charges.
Maybe after 8 months or more when they iron out all the issues, I'll consider it. By then, I'll probably have a new phone.
I hope to get the s7 edge sometime soon
