Very very bad news. Only a small quantity of Z2 would be supplied to the global market till may.
Sorry I dont know the reason and details.
Can Sony ever catch a break? With the S5 set for April 11th release in 150 countries, it seems Samsung has scored quite an advantage despite having the least interesting flagship out of MWC, Sony and HTC can't afford to have Samsung launch a flagship before them, I hope the HTC One 2014 releases sooner than the S5 then.
I wonder, are Sony having production problems with a certain component of the Z2?

A supplier caused this issue for Sony. Most likely Qualcomm did it. Just my guess. |

@CrownedAkuma,
It got vary delays around the globe, in my region the phone got launched after 6+ months from US/Europe launch while normally it will launch in the same month or maximum next month... not just my region, Australia got it I think after 9 months of launch...
It was delayed as it's update ( ARC S ) launched after only one month of it !! as ARC S didn't have any delays....
but it was a problem with the suppliers duo to floods and natural disasters in Japan which delayed several major parts of the phone...

Oh I see... thanks 
By the way I found this article http://www.lucaviscardi.eu/fu[....]rnitore-ritardi-per-galaxy-s5/ it's in italian, so maybe you'll need to use google translate 
it says that one of the major factory producing part of the S5 had an accident, there was a fire and it was highly damaged (1 billion dollars of damage) and the production stopped... will it also have downsides on the distribuiton of S5? is this linked with this problem with the Z2? |

@ CrownedAkuma, Yeah I saw the news this morning but didn't dig that much on it ( not interested at all )
BTW, guys who're starving for Z2 like me... it seems Sony does have wireless charging for Z2
Not a built in solution, but a cover and charging plate... I think they're using the magnetic charging port for this one...

Here is what zomg just stated:
Unconfirmed reports that the Z2 has been delayed outside of Europe because of significantly higher than expected retail and consumer orders in Europe. Waiting for confirmation, but I have it from two retail people in the UK that they have been given priority status by Sony to capitalise on the massive buzz surrounding the Z2.
It also lines up with SMC's internal goal that they want to outsell the S5 in Europe and displace Samsung as the number one Android flagship in Europe.
RoW launch will commence in the third week of May which is a six week delay. |

Well.. it's still bad to hear, but I live in europe soooo... it's good for me
@Xajel
I saw that news... good to hear Sony it's starting to look into Qi Charging... but I think I'll pass, if the phone was Qi Ready it would have been another story... but this way you need to buy the cover AND the charger... too many money I'll stick with a magnetic cable...
BTW do you guys know if different Qi stations are usable with different Brands and Devices... i mean is there a standard so that every device with Qi is rechargable with every Qi station? or every brand will have his own Qi station? because if the Qi works with everything I could at least think about about buying the charging station |

I also read the they will be concentrating on their home markets in order to get a greater foothold there.
In the UK in particular, they've increased their marketing spend by a 'significant amount' compared to last year.
What would be the point of this increased marketing spend if they have no stock? So it sort of makes sense to me, if the rumour is true.
Vodafone UK are estimating a 10th April delivery on their website.

Could Sony not be playing the same game as Apple where in lots of buzz around a new product and then word speads that the poduct is in short supply this in turn then creates demand for a product as it is selling so well and for a few weeks or so the stock is impossible to get a hold of again creatinga buzz as to why it has sold out. Apple play this trick every year and it works wonders for them and with the Z2 already looking like it will be Sony's biggest selling phone why not create some extra hype by going down that route.
I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...
They're in my head

That's quite the risk they are taking. Hopefully, it pays off.
