You can get the Z3 compact for £289.99 from o2 by signing up to a refresh tariff
It's a £10 handset agreement ± £49.99 upfront and you can clear the handset balance the next day terminating the contract as well
It appears to be £290 on pay-and-go. I guess there are no ties to keep you on O2 ? Do they have to unlock your phone if you request it (assuming they are locked to O2) ? Anyway, that's much cheaper than everywhere else at the moment (e.g. £360 on giffgaf), Speculating, but I guess other sites will eventually follow suit, and it means something new will be along soon-ish ?

O2 do lock their own phones, however they will unlock it for you. It's free at anytime if you're on a monthly plan and £15 on PAYG once you've had the device for 3 months or more
I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...
They're in my head

I know how you feel brah. Believe me the Note 5 won't make you happy. Stay with the Ultra and let's hope Sony will bring a superb successor soon. The Ultra is also my daily driver for a long time now. There is no other device what can make me more happy. Had almost all latest flagship phones, but all disqualified. Can't leave the Ultra... this beautiful baby is holy for me.

Ah OK, thanks for the info, ~£300 for a Z3 Compact is (currently) a good deal. Waiting until March might make things better. I know most here are all about the top-end devices, but I wish they'd make something mid-range (above E-series) and small. Closest currently is the last-gen Compact I guess. |

No flagships at MWC. Bold move. I guess they want to sell the mobile division afterall 
Sony is not going after market share and is trying to stabilize the mobile division. The goal is to produce devices which will generate profits even if the sales volumes are not very high. |

I feel helpless )). They released the Ultra and it's one hell of a phone. Now it's discontinued. Sony should give it a chance. |

Z4 will be announced at MWC but the release will be late May.
The real flagship is Z5 which will be announced in Sep. |

Real in what sense? new internals or new design? |

^sounds weird. Over 2 month from announcement to release (late may) and after 3 month (september) another announcement? Can't believe it's true. |

So the Z4 will still have 810 and Z5 might actually have Snapdragon 815 ?
Sony is screwing my plans by this

Apart from faster GPU and better LTE modem, I feel the 820 would be better at 14nm but rumours are it might be pushed to 2016 since there will be no place to manufacture it according to GSMarena. |

@ascariss,
That's why I said 815, as the 820 with it's 14nm FinFET might not be ready for September, even thought both Samsung and Globalfoundries are targeting 2H15 for ramping up the production for it...
Just to note, the 14nm FinFET is a partnership between Samsung and Global Foundries, meaning they both will share the technologies.. which might result that any customer can depend on both for manufacturing...

So xperiablog is wrong. as i thought, not surprised.
all in all, i don't mind waiting 2 more months if the device is more mature.
the strange thing is from march to end of may there is basically 3 months... reminds me of se satio announcement to release time. they need to have a very good reason for such a long delay. |
