here in USA, rumors is that the T-Mobile exclusive Sony Xperia Z (a.k.a. C6606) should be released on July 14th-17th. No word on the price yet, but I'm thinking USD $149.99 down payment and $20 per month for 24 months.
Anyway, I'm set on buying this once it on sale.
However, I also remember another Xperia Z model C6616 that came thru the FCC the same time as the C6606. I wonder what this C6616 is?
Think this might be the Xperia Z with Snapdragon 800 CPU, with the different LCD, etc.?
Don't like to buy a phone and then Sony release a new model with a little higher price range that due within weeks after I bought mine. Like to get all the info first.
T-mobile USA network.
Xperia x10i unlocked + 32GB / Xperia Neo
Xperia TX LT29i
Xperia Z C6606
Xperia L C2104
Xperia M Dual C2004
Currently using Xperia Z1s C6916 (T-Mobile USA)

@Big_D
Not sure what the C6616 is, I don't seem to remember that code being passed around anywhere.
I'm not certain we'll see an exact replica of Z only with an S800 chipset. If we do, it'll have a slightly different design e.g. the carbon/metal back Maia is talking about in the rumours thread or a soft touch finish like Tablet Z with metallic rim like Z Ultra. It would effectively be a refresh handset, like  used to do after 6 months.
So far as a new handset with a similar price tag goes, I think if they do release a slightly better handset within a short period of time then the price of Z will come down a bit to increase it's market longevity.
Also, if it's taking this long for a T-Mobile North America version to be released, then you ought to expect any new handset to take just as long after global release to reach T-Mobile, going by what history tells. Saying that the new S800 is supposedly true multi band world chipset, whether or not manufacturers use the full capabilities is a whole other discussion.

@Indiandawg
I've not noticed any drops in connection or unreliability yet, but I only had dodgy connection occasionally before and I've only been on the new FW a few days.

Guys,
Just wondering, how easy/difficult is it to implement the AptX codec in Xperia Z and extend it in the new generation of Bluetooth devices, like SBH20, SBH50, etc. Xperia Z Ultra has this feature, so will it be difficult to give the same in Xperia Z. Is there any pronounced improvement in the sound quality with aptX codec?
