I've been offered a Xperia XZ for a good price, but it's a European model, is there going to be any issues using it in the UK?
Why not? its same phone, only difference is customisation, which u can change any time with flashtool.

Folks,
Right now we can get the Z2 No-carrier version here in the US (it was in the Sony store, but not anymore; still, you can get it from online US retailers). I know we are getting the T-Mobile branded Z3, so my question is: Do you guys think that the Z3 No-carrier version will be sold here in the US as the Z2 was/is?
Cheers,
:good:

I believe so, as it's the first hit on Sony Mobile's US website:
http://www.sonymobile.com/us/
It makes sense for Sony to offer it unlocked in order to compete successfully with the other major players.
Incidentally, unlocked Z2 is available but backordered with a listed ship date of 10/8

Hmmm interesting. How much do you think it'll cost? 750?
Probably, that seems to be the ceiling with Sony direct.

I am not so sure... This is where you get when you go to Mobile/Phones;

Just the T-Mobile... REally hope the Non-Branded Z3 comes to the US !!!
Knowing how bad T-Mobile is with software updates, T-Mobile users will probably never get Android M update for Z3.
Wondering if there is a way to install Sony's International software version on t mobile's D6616, so we can get Android M update?
Is it gonna be stable?
Instruction would be helpful, I never done this kind of thing before.
Also, Sony might have new UI for Z3 in Sweden, maybe it will come with Android M in the future!!
What are you talking about? There has been no notice about Android M from Sony or T-Mobile. We'll probably get it 3 months after the international push.
There's no way to convert the T-mobile D6616 to an international model due to locked bootloader. But even if it were possible, you'd lose the 32GB and radio compatibility. At that point, it would be wise to sell your Tmobile model an buy the 16GB international model.

Hello everyone, new member here. I have searched through many threads here, and am unable to find what I am looking for. I had purchased an Xperia XZ F8331 from the UK, a pre-order as no retailer I contacted in North America could give me a date on when it would be available. Clove Technologies is where I purchased, and after talking to them, checking with my mobile carrier, both deemed the phone would work. However, I get no LTE, and my regular phone service is very poor, only 1, the odd time 2 bars of service. My Xperia Z1 will get full bars and LTE in the same spot. I have hardly used it, have sent it back for warranty and it came back with no difference. I have found that others here in Canada have the same phone, purchased elsewhere with a different customization number. My number is 1305-2216, customized UK. I have seen 3 different ones, that seem to be working fine. However, I can't find them all in XperiCheck. 1304-9026 is there, but with a lower software version than my phone. The other 2 are 1308-0262 and 1304-7008. Sony Uk has been no help, and the retailer has not helped me either. I have had this issue since I got the phone, and don't want to have a very expensive paper weight. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
You may use flashtool to flash fw of another region then see if the issues you mentioned be fixed or not.

Hello.
I am trying to find, for which region is the E6653 supposedly for. From what i have seen, it SHOULD be for Worldwide/EU.
But then, it turns out, that the specific unit i have is 501SO, which is for the Japanese market. As such, the official Sony service in Bulgaria, refuses to repair it, even with paid service.
Flash a Nordic or EU firmware.
Change buildprop with text editor if needed.

I am first trying to find if this is even proper one, since its still in Seller Warranty. If its not EU one, i will return it, since flashing would void the warranty.
So, i would need to know for which markets the E6653 is targeted at - EU, Worldwide, Americans or Asian markets?
Bump.
According to the Sony Whitepaper, 6603 and 6653 have both the same band support.
I saw some info, on how 6603 is supposedly for the NA market/region.
If that is so, does that makes the 6653 EU/Global?
