Done!
Good heads up - and a £10 Voucher included too. So £420.....
what model version is this?
Saw this too late, I missed out!
Nice! Already had it pre-ordered and thanks to Amazon's pre-order price guarantee my order dropped to that price!
has anyone had any suggestion that this was a pricing error on amazon's part - given that the white compact version dropped also the indications are it was deliberate..... presumably they contact you quite quickly if it's not going to be honoured?

I doubt it was an error. It smacks of clever Marketing. No mistake stays live for 20 hours... the weird thing was it became #1 best seller whilst on sale and then that marker disappeared.
Mine is secure with a delivery BEFORE 9am on Tuesday next - a colleague ordered 5 and his are secure too.
Other vendors have been offering this and the white at the same price, but for a shorter time.

I don't think it's an error. The fact they dropped my pre-order price to that level in line with their pre-order price guarantee suggests it wasn't or, at least, if it was they are going to fully honour it.
Handtec doing cheaper.

Scrap that. Exc VAT price

Handtec's only a few quid cheaper than the (current) Amazon price at £501 plus I wouldn't touch Handtec with a 10 foot pole. Grey imports and terrible customer service in my experience.

I'm a bit confused. I placed my order on September 6th for the copper one, and my price has NOT reduced and is still showing as £529. How exactly does this price guarantee work then?
EDIT: Scratch that. It HAS changed if I look at my order, even though it's showing £529 as the current price.
Wow, you'd think Amazon would make a bigger deal when prices fall like this. Throw in the £10 voucher I'll get, plus a £50 gift card I got from Amazon with the Fire phone to review, and this phone is getting cheaper and cheaper by the minute!
presumably the handtec reference was a non VAT comparison? for those with a live order from amazon are you expecting a slightly stripped down version, e.g. no headset etc. and not much beyond the bare handset? advertised box contents seem a little bare, although still great value and getting a bit excited now tbh ?
Yeah, I'm not sure what the Amazon version comes with but it doesn't bother me anyway because the bundled headphones and charger are cack so I've ordered the magnetic charger dock and the NC31 headphones which utilise the noise cancelling in the Z3 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HX9AJ5M/ref=pe_385721_51767431_TE_dp_1).

The Amazon version is standard retail stock. There is only one retail version of each colour.
I did have the Copper one at £430 ordered and also the Black version from Carphone Warehouse for the same price. After looking at many photos online I decided the Copper actually looked like a make-up kit and a bit too girly so cancelled the Amazon order.
The Black is coming tomorrow though and can't wait. Good thing too as the Copper was destined for the 30th delivery which I could not wait for.
Just on way home from Sony Mobile party in London for Z3 launch (as in consumer launch) and the copper looks mighty fine. After having black Z, white Z1 and white Z2 I am excited to have the copper one ordered. Sony will be pushing this hard too.
Same here I alway buy black phones but the Z3 in black looks bland to me, so ordered the Z3 copper version and the black flip case which will look nice together.
Awww. The pre-order always said delivery was today (Tuesday) but since yesterday that has changed to Wednesday. Hope it still arrives today

Mine arrived yesterday. And I was charged the £430. So happy! And in the coming days, I'll get the code to redeem my £10 voucher.
Disappointed Sony doesn't bundle any noise cancelling headphones, like it did with many Z2s. All you get is one screen protector (front only) and a USB on-the-go adapter, plus EP880 1.5A PSU (so not anything to take full advantage of Quick Charge 2.0).
Phone is lovely though, but one other annoyance - Sony not selling inserts for the docks separately. Do I seriously have to buy a new dock just to get the smaller insert that fits the Z3?!
Aw man, don't tell me that
Still no out for delivery notification so looks like it will be tomorrow.

This thread is for Xperia Tablet Z owners. Owners can discuss
which version of the tablet they bought
when they bought it
for how much did they buy it
and then discuss the general feedback, issues with the tablet, help each other out.
Me myself will be buying the tablet next week when it launches in India.
I've pre-ordered the 32GB black version of the Xperia Tablet Z for €549 + the official Sony leather case in black, which was only €40 instead of €80 during the pre-order period. I'm really looking forward to receive it! (just hoping that the availability date of 22 May is correct...)
Preordered mine from Sony about a month ago when they offered the 10% discount. So got it at about £360. Only got the 16GB version as I can expand on micro sd which I personally think would be more than sufficient for my usage.
On the Sony website it states that it has been handed to their shipping partners and it is on their way. So hopefully it'll get to me on time (fingers cross for it arriving early ) Can't wait to share my experience.
also an almost owner. should be in my hands on Tuesday.
ordered the 32gig wifi version with dock for around 530 euros
quite nice of them to have put that 10% discount on it that day
now im afraid i can't sleep anymore
Your New Sony Tablet Is On Its Way | Let the Fun Begin
Just received this from Sony:
thanks for choosing another Sony product
Your Sony® Tablet is on its way
well ahead of the May 24 expectation they set on the US Sony Store. Purchased the 16GB WiFi unit via our Corporate Perks EPP agreement - $449.99 USD + tax. Ordered it last week.
I got drunk the other night and pre-ordered the 16GB LTE version for € 628,99 + 80 for the flipcover from sony.nl, did I make a mistake? I never bought a device without thoroughly reading reviews and analyzing benchmarks. I hope the screen is better than the experia z but I have no idea
@godutch, you could have saved €40 on the case by buying it from another retailer.

I couldn't find any retailer, heck even this subforum didn't exist
Purchased a 32GB black wifi model from Japan from Yodobashi for 59800 yen which worked out after conversion to be 590AUD. Tried to get the cradle as well but they're sold out over there. Am hoping to buy the cradle once the Australian release happens (June).
The tablet Z is really nice, first thing most people say is that it's so thin and light which at 500 grams it is quite surprising!
The Throw feature and remote app has definitely come in handy when I'm on the couch and the remote is too far away

mine is NTT docomo model SO-03E, have the tv antenna near the headphone jack.
paid HKD 4380 (approx. US$565) to a HKG parallel importer retail shop on May 3, after Sony HK has announced the HK version at a rip-off price. HKD 5,298 (black 4G version with 16 gb storage, WITHOUT the charging dock)
3G version with 32GB storage in White color, WITH a black charge dock.
firmware version:
out of the box 10.1.E.0.244
OTA updated to 10.1.E.0.250
rooted using ROOT MANY ANDROID tool after 250 upgrade
except for the fact that the touch screen is too sensitive at times.
(while i am sliding my fingers during a list, 9 out of 10 times the touch screen would have reacted as if i have clicked somewhere and chose an item in a list.)
heard that new firmware version number 265 would have this fixed. but cannot do OTA update now that i am rooted...

You're probably right but don't ya want it TODAY!
I've heard some folks have been able to get Best Buy to price match Newegg. Actually shouldn't be too hard as this is only 6% discount. In any case, right now Amex is offering $25 credit on statement if purchasing anything over $250 from Best Buy. Thus if you get BB to price match and put it on an Amex card, you are basically getting this for $304 (plus applicable taxes.)
10% off on Newegg for tablets
Gave me $33 off the new $329 price.
$296 free shipping :good:
Here's a bad sign. I had a white G Pad that was sitting in my shopping cart on Newegg. When I went to the website and put another item in the cart, I got a message saying that they were removing the G Pad because they had insufficient stock. Looks like the black model is still available.
So, this means that the G Pad is now available at 11/2 retailers in the US, and basically, it's only available online and not in B&M stores. Another indication that LG is pulling the plug. I'm puzzled about why they seem to introducing it in other markets while they're abandoning it in the US, though. Mysterious.

I should have said barely available at B&M stores. In my area, half the stores have a few units in the cage where nobody can see them. None of the stores have them on display.
I didn't see that the white unit was still showing up on Newegg, but apparently it is. The fact that they're raising the price going into Black Friday suggests to me that they are running out of inventory. None of this is good news.

The HP Slate 8 pro with the tegra 4 is out now, 329.99. I'd consider it but I fear development, or lack thereof, will be the same as the gpad.

Hmm, I hadn't looked at this one before you mentioned it. Looks like it has 4:3 ratio (which some people prefer). One other issue is that it only has 1 Gb RAM which will probably affect the performance. Still might be worth a look.
With any luck, we'll start seeing some more 8" options in the coming months. Maybe some of them will make a better attempt to sell their devices than LG has.

The 4:3 is most likely a deal breaker for me. I've spent some time with an iPad mini and the aspect ratio just felt weird, probably because I haven't had a 4:3 ratio anything since the old computer monitors.
Regarding the RAM, some reviews I've read claim 1 GB and others claim 2, not sure why the discrepancy but it's a moot point after the screen ratio.
I'll probably just wait until the 8.3 goes on sale again somewhere. Hopefully there'll be another competitor in this screen size by that time.

I'm kind of thinking the same thing. I might pick up a cheap substitute (Nexus 7, e.g.) and wait for a decent 8" device to come along. It might turn out the the problem with the G Pad is just production shortages. If that's the case, then they may lower the price and get them out to more retailers when they are able to produce enough devices. If that doesn't happen, I'll look for something else. I'm just not ready to buy a G Pad until there are enough people owning one to make a community.
Just ordered one tonight.They had them on sale with a promo code for 50% off.Can't beat it for 174.99.Had a Note 8 and sold it.Got a ipad air.Missed having a Android tablet.Think I will return the Air now that I got the G Pad.

I thought this was odd. Last year's Note is Best Buy's Black Friday "deal." And at $389 for 16GB it's not much of a deal at that.

The camera is covered, but there is protective tape on only one of the sides. The screen protector was crooked as well. Im wondering if this unit is refurbished. On hold for 25 minutes. Spoke with a very nice lady and explained everything to her. The unit doesnt appear to be damaged. I have 30 days to send it back. She said it is their practice to open the boxes to inspect before shipping. Not sure if thats true. Anyway, as long as I dont find problems with it, I'll keep it.

Bought it directly from Samsung USA. Tablet seems to be operating just fine. I'm ecstatic about my wireless keyboard working in tandem with my mouse on this tablet. I'm using a muti USB adapter, plugged into one of those dongles. I forget the name ATM. So far, so good.
I'm using Next Launcher and getting no lag. Very smooth.

At least for me Amazon has state tax. And these days, Bestbuy price matches with Amazon and Samsung too, so makes more sense for me to walk into Bestbuy and try getting this one for 50$ less
Newegg is also offering this for 500 $ now.

I bought mine with BHPhoto. $549, no tax, free shipping. Already have UPS tracking number
so considering that all these companies(amazon, bestbuy, newegg, samsung ...) are offering the same amount of discount, which one do you guys think is the most reliable to buy from?!
and which ones add tax in CA?
Is there any truth to the statement that this is only available via carphone warehouse? Wife wants one but its a $200 premium!

Yes, it appears to be only available (sim-free) at the higher price of ~£430 from both Carphone Warehouse and the Sony Mobile GB site. I think I read somewhere, maybe here, that it's to encourage buyers to take it on contract.
It is available with Expansys as well.
unfortunately expansys is the only company that asks you to preorder and put your credit card details in without telling you how much they'll bill. Probably hoping you'll forget to check (yes you can cancel)

Since today some Dutch webshops (and propably stores) have all the colors in stock and make no difference in price by the color you want.
Links to shops ? Ive seen nevermsrp and expansys exporting the green color so far.
Here's the green one going for $549. I just got an email from them asking if I still want to keep my pre-order. I'm a little unsure now since I don't know how warranty will work...

nvm turns out the product code has the phone name for expansys, 5803.
i asked them for some shipping ETA but they have no idea so far.
that said its the cheapest green 5803 exported to the USA so far. (obviously 100 bucks more than clove if you don't get green)
Here in HK its available in all 4 colours at the major retailers like fortress. Same price for all $4398 HKD. With a ton of extras thrown in.

I spoke with one of the support guys at Expansys. Their shipment of green Z3C will arrive on Tuesday Does anyone know if it's worth waiting for the US Sony store to release this? What's the typical price difference between Expansys USA and the Sony store?
Apparently sony has a press conference scheduled for october 9th in nyc. Possible US availability announcement?

it makes sense - thats the time they need to ship it from europe today, to them, including the weekend.
i dont think sony will ship earlier than expansys if they do announce US availability. But it might be not very far apart.
In general sony doesnt release to the US directly only through carriers and even so its pretty rare and very late. so generally expansys usa has them way before sony/carriers (month(s)). but this time around it could be that sony has them a week or two later who knows.
All I know is.. i should get mine next week at this rate

I would say it's somewhere around 15-20 % depending on sending country VAT (plus customs expences?).

Bad news everyone. Expansys says they are only getting white and black. They won't be getting green for this shipment :/

Update for guys looking to buy from Taiwan. Don't buy from 23port. He doesn't have the phones available, he takes your money and then waits for Asus to get them in stock. This is the email response I got from him about my purchase
"We have received your payment on Mar. 28, and we will check the available time with Taiwan ASUS and update you soon, and we will provide tracking number after shipment. Please kindly note. Have a nice day."
I contacted eBay after that and they are taking action against his listing since in their words "he is luring people in to buying an item he doesn't have, without stating it's a preorder and that he doesn't actually have the item".
Just wanted to give a heads up since I'm now at the mercy of either getting a refund from the seller or waiting until the 7th for buyer protection to kick in.
You might want to ask sellers if they actually have the item in stock, it's not guaranteed that they will answer truthfully, but these guys are taking people's money and sitting on it until Asus Taiwan has stock available. Who knows how long that could be in all honesty.

I ordered from him Thursday and my phone arrived Today. There were two listings. One preorder, the other one showed availability. Not saying this wasn't your case but I had a totally different experience with him
^^
Same here I ordered and got mine in 2 days, FedEx express
Well I ordered the 4GB with 32GB storage for 350 plus 25 fedex shipping. Ordered it Friday morning my time, asked him today about the status and that's when he said he had to contact Asus about the availability and would let me know. None of the ads I've seen by him have said anything about preorder. Maybe when you ordered he had supply but now he doesn't. If he had supply he would have shipped my phone already and wouldn't have said he needs to contact Asus and that he'll update me.

Ohh man not doubting you. Sad that we had different experiences with the same seller. His attention with me was top notch and response time too.

I didn't think you were but some people might. I was hoping I'd have it within two days like every one else but that's not the case I guess. I can't wait weeks to get a phone unfortunately. I'm thinking that some of the other sellers don't have supply either, that's why they're putting the delivery date so far out. They're hoping people will buy expecting delivery in mid April and that gives them enough time to wait for more stock from Asus.

Today, they are dropping it in France. My delivery date was April 1-3. Was surprised at how quickly it got here.

There are some sellers with the delivery date as Apr. 10th-Apr. 21st. Which gives plenty of time for them to wait on new stock while you're waiting for the end of April to get it.

That really sucks. I will tell u this: phone is solid. Only disappointment is the battery cover. Feels like cheap plastic simulating a metal brush finish. Looks like it may break when prying apart to insert sim card and SD. Really glad I got a case for it.

Yeah I've been super stoked to get it since I saw it, sold my OPO and a Note 3, bought my son a Moto G 2014 and myself the ZF2, but now I have to use my son's phone since the ZF2 isn't coming.

I have another warning: Don't buy from OE USA (advertising on Amazon) either. They're selling an entry level ZE500CL as ZE551ML as they specified the phone. Luckily Amazon has good customer protection but you may face a lot of troubles buying totally false phone.

By the way what is g19800720?
I guess I learned my lesson well. I'm returning cheap entry level phone which was sold on Amazon as a ZE551ML. At least partially you can blame all mess on Asus, which would never provided clear specs of variety of models around.
Now I'm quite positive that currently you can't buy any other ZE551ML than Taiwanese. And right now Asus has in production European (ww) model which will be on the market in France and Italy at the end of this month (on the web as well). And maybe Chinese model will be selling at the same time too.
Later, probably at the end of May after announcement in the event in New York the US model is coming to the market. And that's pretty all.
