i kno this is a Window Mobile Forum but i need some opinions
i posted a thread about buying a TMobile Wing
now i want opinions about Buying a sony ericsson w580i
1. Would You Even Buy it?
2. How Much?(Used)
Hi!
Last week I bought a SIM-locked Sony Xperia Z and now I'm waiting for an unlock code to arrive. However, it may take several days and I bumped into the website http://un-lock.us/ which say it's free and fast.
I couldn't fins any reliable info or opinions about it, so I haven0t been so foolish of just entering my IMEI there, just in case. It seems surprising to me that no good or bad words about this service, since it provides a (AFAIK) legal service.
I would greatly appreciate any recommendation from reputable XDA members. Thank you very much
Hello everybody,
I have an unusual problem - I was given money...
To be exact, my company awarded me with around $800 gift voucher for amazon.com. The only problem is I live in Europe, Poland to be exact. And since it is a pain in the ... head to bother with spending all of it for small time shopping (all the shipment hassle and such). So I thought I might replace my current android device with Sony Xperia Z3. A quick search on amazon reveals a few options:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Unlocked-Warranty-without-contract/dp/B00NQC88IU/
this one seems to be most promising.
Now, can anyone advise me on this choice? As it's a GSM phone i get it will work in Poland, maybe with limited LTE capabilities but that is ok for me. What about anything else I might not be aware of? Is there any other potential problem regarded to moving phone to other part of the world?
Also, can anyone help me guess, what sort of guaranty does the item description mention? The seller was not very specific about it, which raise a bit of a concern by the way...
Anyway, I would appreciate any guidance on my crazy idea on buying this specific phone, what do you think?
The seller is Sony themselves lol... The Z3 is a great device. Do note that if you are someone who loves to root your android phone, this might not be the phone for you. In order to root the phone, you will have to unlock the bootloader which will cause the DRM keys to be lost forever. This will cause the camera to be very bad in low light especially and other features to be lost forever, even after u unroot.

Also, you can select the color option on the website too. Be sure you get the color you want

Hmm, here is how it looks from where I sit, the seller in lower circle, and sony mentioned as manufacturer... I think Amazon is a confusing place compared to ebay or our local shopping websites. If it was really Sony who sold this particular phone, I wouldn't be afraid to get it.
Anyhow, your information about rooting of Xperia Z3 is very useful... Thank you for this valuable piece of knowledge.

The seller shld be Sony themselves. Sony relies on manufacturers to make their phone and that OE USA is most probably the manufacturer for the z3. So i wouldnt worry abt it too much. U can ask for a refund if the z3 turns out bad.

Hi to all,
This is Prasad.

My question is I am mobile Phones reseller (Small Scale business), few days back I got few quotations for mobile phones (like Apple, Sony, HTC, Samsung, LG, Nokia and Blackberry) and I seen few models also. but I have a doubt either that mobile phones original or Clone or Refurbished. I don't have any technical skills to check that mobile phones. so please tell me how to Check that mobile.
i am getting prices like Sony Xperia Z Rs.11,000/- Apple iPhone 5 64gb Rs.19000/- HTC One Gold colour Rs. 12000/- Samsung Note 2 Rs. 13000/- Samsung Note 3 Rs. 22000/- LG G2 Rs 12000/- and few more models. I was shocked about that prices. when I was seen that mobile phones I didn't find any thing, it's looks like same (Original one). and How to check IMEI Number?
Please helps me out ..
Thanks & Regards.
