Sony Xperia Z3 Sold Out @ Sony Store (STC)

Just came from the Sony Store at Scarborough Town and they're all gone due to pre-orders. Not sure about the Compact.

Yea was not expecting that. All of the color variations are gone. Salesman asked if I wanted to back order one, but I declined.

I did however get to play around with the demo models and the Z3 was not oversized at all. I thought it would be hard to use the phone with one hand because it was too large, but it wasn't. It felt good. That was the only concern I had when I was deciding between the Z3 and Z3C.

Well, I'm sorta due for a new phone and would prefer to get the latest model phone. But that is also an option I will consider.

Z3 camera is superior to Z2 despite using the same sensor

there are improvements to the lens and image processing

They just reported a big writedown on the Xperia phone line. Maybe they've gone too far the other way in trying to prevent that this time around. :facepalm:

Yea but the Bell one is not unlocked and you'd be charged $50 more for the unlock if you wanted it.

Price?

Mobilesyrup reported $599 no contract from Rogers. Some people over on XDA are saying it comes up as $649 at some Rogers stores, but some have been able to get it for 599. Also claims of Sony price matching Rogers at 599.

I'm going to stop by Rogers tomorrow to see.

I got mine for 599 over the phone.
My friend went to a store first and said it was 699 and the best they could do was 670. He went home and ordered on the phone and it was 599 as well.

That's reassuring, I'll give it a shot. Are you both on Rogers plans?

I'm able to order the phone online at Rogers with no term, but have to choose a plan. Guess I can just cancel the plan after. Why is Rogers selling the phone cheaper than Sony? Is it an error of some kind? I was going to wait a few months till end of this year, but if I can get it for $100 cheaper, I might as well now.
Uh, yeah, I'd like to speak to a Mr. Tabooger, first name Ollie.

It's still 100$ +tax cheaper. It probably doesn't cost that much to unlock it.

But they'll charge you 1-mth of service I believe and you also have to pay for the unlock as well which brings the unlocked phone to about the same price. It's alright if you're on Rogers already I guess.

Well, I just placed an order on the store.sony.ca site for the white Z3. Total with tax and $10 express shipping came to $802.29. That settles that. Should get it by the middle of the week.

P.S. Also used ebates for 1.5% cash back which is somethjng like $10 back and offsets the express shipping fee.
