You won't have the official software until the global release (apparently it's still in testing phase). |

Wait until it arrives in your place. This unit is blazing fast, gorgeous screen and superb quality! I dont have regrets replacing my padfone infinity with this. Sooo happy!

Talking of lucky..
Are you lucky that you live in a country where LTE is available, but have to wait until late launch?
Or are we lucky we get the ZU early, because there is no LTE network here, where I live.
For the sake of a few weeks, I'd rather be in your shoes... 
I go back home (Japan) once a year for about a week. But rest of the time I am stuck with 3G. Since purple was not my choice anyway, it seems OK that I buy the HSPA version |

Yeah i'm suppose to wait for LTE version of Ultra but since the LTE coverage here in Dubai is not even 30%, i decided to get the HSPA+ version instead of waiting for a month for 4G version. Hehe
I cant move on this unit! The screen is fabulous and freaking fast because of S800!

Just bought the Xperia Z Ultra..
It's display is simply stunning and extremely snappy.
The top end sticks out of a regular jeans pocket but can be comfortably be used in a trouser pocket
Cant figure out how to change the keyboard to left or right handed typing as shown in the video...
Sony all the way |

The software containing all new features is not released yet. You have to wait for the global release.

Got my baby today!
Looking forward to the update in sept that will bring out ZU's true potential.
2 Questions for those who knows...
1/ Talking of updates, I read that there has already been one (http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/08/02/xperia-z-ultra-gets-its-first-firmware-update-14-1-b-0-471/)
So, I go to settings and check for update, and nothing.... Do I need to connect to PC via Sony software for updates of firmwares? Or can it be done by wifi through settings->about phone->software update ?
2/ Battery. Is it Li-Ion or Li-Po? I ask because How and when I should charge may change according to its type, for better battery care.
Battery life is too early to come to an opinion, but all I can say is that it seems accurate...It actually goes down 1% at a time (my other devices don't do that)
Nice screen. It will only get better with MBE2
Camera..
I tried to cut the regular sim to micro size, and f***ed it up..  too small!
Have to get a new one tomorrow, so for tonight it is a tablet!

Ya I just realised that... I am a bit annoyed with not being able to type and text one handed as the girl in the video shows... but I guess i would have to wait for that global release update

Had been using it for a few days now. Relatively happy with it, but without problems.
1. Problem with touchscreen sensitivity with a screen protector. Works fine with your fingers, but not so with a pencil. Most pen does not even work.
2. The mini keyboard works with chinese kayboard, but not international keyboard.
3. Volume is quite low. Not as bad as X10/XS.
4. Sometimes, the screen does not turn on when you wake the phone. On some occations, I have to press the power button a few times to get the screen on. This also happends if I have an incoming call.
Other than that, I am quite pleased with my purchase. The battery is not as bad as people might expect. I would say about the same as Z. The screen is gorgeous, and very snappy. Makes XZ looks like a toy. I am also very pleased that there is handwriting support for sentences for japanese!
