UK Stock

Does anyone know what is going on with UK stock for this? It's been out at most places since before easter and the likes of CPW are still saying >14days for stock.
Any ideas?

Earthquake, Tsunami, Nuclear meltdown.
As excuses go you have to admit it beats "the dog ate my homework".

Yup its True
There is a strong shortage of Xperia ARC and even Galaxy S2 also owing to Extreme demand and Low stock levels throughout the world.
I dont think even US will get a light of these two fones soon.
I am expecting my pre-ordered ARC around 21st May in India. Thats also
"May be" ...
So better pre order it sooner.

Its in stock on expansys for midnight blue, 5 days estimate for silver. Its where I got mine from on release day

This is what I'd heard, which is fair enough. It's just that I haven't actually seen a SE source confirming. SE tweeted to someone the other day just saying "its been out and available for weeks"

That earth quake is correct carphone warehouse told me that cause they had a conference with se but the only place I could find the arc is with 3 network thats how I got mine

Right I sent mine to 3 cause I cracked screen and it was sim unlocked they told me it didn't matter which firmware I had on aslong as it was stock mate it doesn't have to be 3s own really but they did sim lock it so they unlocked it for free but I was arguing with them over it just flash any generic ftf mate that will do

you just need to register and download the client (.exe file)
Then start the file, login and connect the device. Then you can choose which firmware you want to flash... It really is very easy to use, but you cannot find a flashable file on the website. It is downloaded within the process...

Hey guys,
If you bought your sony XZ from a retailer that participated in the free dock and case offer (such as ASDA) you can claim it here:

Just type in your IMEI if you are not sure if you qualify.

Well it would be fortunate if you have someone in Europe where you can let it be sent first and then redirected to you. Just an idea

Sony Xperia Z2 Philippines Thread

Mabuhay! The official hub of Filipino users here in the z2 general thread! Anyone getting this phone?

Planning to get it. When is it going to be available in stores?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

not now maybe z4 or z5

Pinagiisapan pa
kasi walang budget:'(
Estimated months kailan dadating? Mau z1c na ba sa atin? Wala pa kasi ako nakakkita eh
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app

^ expected next month though PH pro'lly get it may-jun. expansys-ph has it on their "coming soon" section already. i've seen the z1 compact on kimstore, cmk & expansys-ph. btw, that language is technically not allowed here, bro
i'm thinking of getting the z2 as well to replace the one on my sig, especially if globe offers this on postpaid. but for me, it's really a toss up between this and the oppo find 7 qhd version - similarly spec'd but bigger (and pro'lly better) screen and a bit more cheaper for the US$599 price tag at launch

Xperia Z1 Compact is now available on Xperia stores. Just saw it yesterday in Megamall.
Sent fron my Sony Xperia™ Z1

Yes it is available already. The lady says z2 will be available mid April so I'm gonna wait for it instead.

Oops forgot it sorry my bad. So z1c is here already. So Z2 should be april then.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app

It's already available at kim.com.ph but they have yet to respond to my message

I'm planning to get one also thru postpaid plan and I can't wait for it anymore! -excited-

Is it sim-locked to Smart? If yes, do you have plans to make it openline soon?
