Hello mate,
Try Carphonewarehouse, I checked their websites today and they are offering white Z3 to preorder...
Ah great. That wasn't the case this morning when I checked. Just the black and copper was available.
Thanks for that mate.

Is there any way to buy the white z3 off contract from carphonewarehouse? I just checked the site and they seem to be only offering contracts.
Since I live in Canada and want the white Z3 I don't see any other options.

damn, so nobody else?
Sony is really making some bad choices with their phones and they wonder why they are losing billions.
we can't even get them here in north america, even if we try to import them from europe!!

The demand is there but with Sony, where are the products? They want to be make a name on phones but logistics and marketing is just so bad right now. I ended up getting the Z3 compact version instead from Clove and Handtec in UK. I also am from North America. I bought several units for my family.
Once the phone is available at T-Mobile USA, they will wonder why no one is buying these Sony phones. LOL! Because they already bought it!

unfortunately not. some good news though, there's a rumor that the z3 and z3 compact are scheduled for release in Canada early next month.
I can wait 2 weeks if this is the case and save money on shipping and duty taxes. I just hope the white variants come here lol

Anyone know if this phone is getting released in Australia?
I've asked a few main carriers and they haven't even heard of the phone,looked for release dates nothing! if its not being released in Australia then I think that will turn me off android for good, if Google cannot supply their phone to all country's then they have lost the battle to Apple IMO, just hope they pull there finger out and do something about it.

You could do that, or like me import from the US, especially good if you have a relative/friend over there, but comGateway seems to be a viable option. Mine cost just under $600 Aussie including shipping. That said if you have problems, you have to pay for shipping back to the US, where as Mobicity is just Australia etc.
Go outright no contracts, no worries! Skip carriers all-together I think when Voda had the N1 they changed it a bit as well so updates were slightly delayed

Even though Rogers will sell the phone outright, it will still be carrier locked to Rogers and you will need to be a customer of theirs.
Best thing to do would be to arrange a private sale from someone who is a customer and can grab units.
Best of luck,

If you know someone in Canada, you could have Rogers ship to them, and then they could ship to you. If I knew you, I'd buy it and ship it through our company's UPS account.
There's "gotta" be a way.

I don't know if HTC's like Samsung but they won't repair a carrier phone that's still under warranty. They direct you back to the carrier. That could be a big problem if your Rogers phone breaks and you're not a customer. Something to check out before pulling the trigger.

true, but for 10 bucks a month it's cheap. i can seriously take a phone with black tie outside the building, smash it on the ground, and walk back in to get another one. very useful for, say, a bricked phone. i'm friends with the workers up there, they said a guy with an iphone literally does this once a month just to have a clean screen...
believe me, i don't understand, but like said, cheap and great!

How used can it really be? The phone isn't even out. Engineering build, maybe. Someone here should have snapped that up to see if it was S-OFF.

It's not up for sale yet. But you can use an international credit card to pay for it. To get it shipped, you'll have to get someone to ship it to you.

Or you could always wait for "water" products (imported) from the small stores. I was in Hong Kong this summer, the Nexus 7 2013 only took like 1 week from when it was on sale at the US play store. The typical price was around $2200 HKD for the 16 GB version, about a $400 HKD premuim. It'll probably cost that much paying double shipping by using comgateway.com or other mail forwarding service.
It will not cost sgd80 for forwarder...

im also from hk.. i think you should wait until it comes to hk.. the nexus 4 came in december costed 4k hkd which is good enough...
I live in Singapore where anything is subjected to a hike of around 30%-50%. The nexus 4 is sold here at sgd600+ at large retail stores... gpu can cost SGD 300 more

Actually, for Hong Kong users, it might be a really bad idea to buy from the US play store if any of you are planning to use it for 4G services. According to the LTE band thread, the UK version is a much better choice, mainly in that the US (D820) version of the phone will NOT work with 4G services in Hong Kong. Wikipedia says that the Hong Kong networks use bands 3,7, 40, the US version do not support any of these frequency bands, whereas the UK (D821) version supports bands 3 and 7.

Had anyone found a retailer that sells either version the z3 for AT&T on contract or Next? I'm on Verizon and today they lost my business permanently. I want this phone but T-Mobile is no good in my area. I need to change to AT&T but I didn't realize they don't sell it. I need to buy one for me and another for my wife so buying them outright is really not an option. Thanks!

Sony Store appears to offer financing. I bought outright and use on AT&T (wife and myself) and its great. Also paying about $50 less per month because of it. So you could probably finance it out and pay about the same.
Expansys-usa is where I bought mine. Anyone who walks into a phone store and buys a smartphone is stupid (imho). Unless of course it's the cheapest one they sell.
As long as you're the account holder just call them and have them send you a nano sim card. Once you get it call back and activate it.

Hi has anyone purchased a mate 7
32gb MT7-TL10 from a seller called sanho2013 ?
I purchased from them and there taking ages to deliver my phone.
He said 4-5 days delivery which states from UK but his account location is hongkong. Either way I wasn't bothered aslong as I get my device. Well I purchased last week on Monday and thursday 27th he sent me royal mail tracking. I've tracked it since Thursday and also rang royal mail as it just says tracking will update when we receive the item. Royal mail said they waiting for the item N that we have the job information like my address but the seller still.hasn't give it to them.
I contacted the seller many times he just said royal mail has got it on 26th which is wrong with estimated delivery 31st-2nd which is different to his original delivery date the 30th. But my argument is royal mail.don't even have it yet so he.is ovsly talking crap to me.
I was just woundering if anyone has experienced this ebay seller before. I did reasearch on his account before I purchased and he had a few thousand positive feedback.
I just don't understand how a £389 device hasn't been delivered to.me after a week and half.

If you order oversea it will take at least 10 days maybe two weeks.
^ seller is shipping from abroad (HongKong) & RoyalMail not got it yet.
The tracking updated last night it is out for delivery. Wish sellers was mote truthfull. It's a lot of money to part with. The sale stated no tax sent from UK.

Perhaps he uses triangle shipping from HK to UK then to you.
If so then you wont have taxes to pay, the phone may not be international version though??

Yes exactly what he does, hongkong to third party in UK as gift or low value so no tax, then on to you.
Finally received my mate 7. What a beast it even had UK charger inside so I'm guessing its the phone is for the UK as was manufacture sealed. Only problem I found was a little dent in the top left hand corner of the bezel. Not too happy about it but not a lot I can do but will contact the seller.

Haha yeah little late. They ovsly making some money dodging taxs.
£360 is a good price tho I could only find 1 for 389 apart from a dodgy looking site for the 32GB version. So happy with this phone it's awesome. Definitely be looking into buying more Huawei phones in the future. Wasn't sure what I would receive from the seller but it's all UK as has UK charger inside so very happy. Just wish I didn't get a bit of a dent in the top bezel even.tho it's not very noticeable once I no it's there it eyes always sees it. Hoping for the seller to give me a partial refund as it would cost him a lot to return a doa device and then send another 1 out.

What is the model number & firmware version ?
In asia we are experts at opening & resealing boxes, most phones centres where I live have wrapping & sealing machine so you need check things real well.
The gold 32gb dual sim is £300 here & even cheaper than that in China/Kowloon
Do you guys actually have uk warranty ! I have warranty centre in my city near me, almost £400 is a lot of money for no rear retail seller support or reliable warranty.

@techfan1997 I've been using the MT7-L09 model for several months now. It works perfect with LTE on both AT&T's network and T-Mobile's network. It even works well with T-Mobile's AWS 1700 MHz band for its backhaul HSPA+ 4G service. This phone is 100% compliant with US GSM-LTE providers.
