Had a look on phonearena.....incredible inconsistencies between the iPhone and XZ reviews. A XZ weakness becomes an iPhone positive? It is the precise reason that I ignore such websites. |

Got an emeil that they will have it today ... went there but it was not.... will be on 7th october in the shop 
And because it was their mistake they gave me a 5€ discount....
(per month) but now I need some patience
Ordered the Forest Blue,and they will sent it to me home..... with the Sony MDRXB950BT/B.

PT020 - that is disappointing! I would be very angry and 5 euro wouldn't be enough! patience is a virtue my friend. we're all waiting here as well.
@badassmam - indeed. most review sites either favor iphone or galaxies. it's very clear in their supposedly "unbiased" reviews.
@mckinley - awesome. great to see!
@xperiajunkie - xz has been winning every video comparison i've seen. the stabilization on the xperias have always been quite good imo, but now it's just down right amazing. i forget, the whitepaper or the blog or whatever, says the 5-axis stabilization is only for 1080p mode, correct?

I do not really mind to wait,the phone I use now is still very good,and 5€ sounds not much but it is 2 year contract so all together will be 120€,I'm allso curious about the sound of the headphones they give... it had very good reviews,
Ordered today the Smart cover ... will have it tomorrow.
When I was in the shop I also played with the X compact,feels nice in the hand,good looking phone but Sony killed it with it's specs.

ah. didn't realize it was 5 euro for every month of your contract. i thought it was just 5 euro for every month that you had to wait. well then that's not too bad. i'd take that.
the headphones are supposed to be really good. except they are HUGE. i had decided that i would sell them, but now i'm on the fence. maybe i'll keep them? i guess i'll decide when they're in my hands.

Headphones are awesome. I already have a pair from black Friday a year ago from bestbuy for $89. Best headphones I've ever owned. Sound, quality and they hold a charge for forever.
You will not be disappointed. |

I almost bought them a year ago... but I alredy have few very good bluetooth headphones,even one combined with noise canceling so I just had to say no to myself... but it will be nice to get them for free. |

that case looks pretty slick PT020.
@xperiajunkie - they are teasing you aren't they? you should get a discount like PT020 for the pain and suffering.

@pt020
I couldn't believe they were offering these headphones for free as a bundle. That alone is what people in the US is missing. Those are close to $200 headphones. Even through I paid less than half price for them, they are worth every bit of $200 USD.
Small story on durability. I was out watching my kids one evening but was listening to my headphones...when they wanted me to play I took them off and sat them on top of my wife's SUV( upper carriage rack). Totally forgot they were there, then she went to work next day..got 3 miles down the road, heard a thud. It was my damn headphones I forgot, they smacked the payment from being on top Suv. She turned around scooped them up. She knows how I am about my electronics so she was prepping me slow and easy for the bad news.
Long story short....headphones fully intact, few small nicks and they still bumb like crazy. SOLID.
Beats headphones couldn't have fallen from that distant and still been intact. Not that I think Beats are top of line but sadly this current generation considers Beats as one of the best and in our mainstream driven electronic world Beats are the competition . I firmly believe once you try them you will wonder why you should have gotten them a long time ago.
Like I said....these sony headphones are one of the best bundle Sony has ever offered. You will love them or sell them and make some nice change!! Which is a win no matter which way you look at it.

@ moogoo
The Smart Cover looks very nice in real,
simple and elegant .. very Sony.
You do not see any fingerprints on it,not even on the touch screen,but quite expensive (50€) ...ok ok you have a touch screen on it and NFC chip and if it had a fruit on the back it was 3X more expensive ...
   
@ lcrkz0023
I have an 35 years experience with Sony products,they all have been nicely built,have a 35yo walkman and a 30yo CD/MD players that look and work as new,same with TV's....
Of course,you have to take care about them,my Sony Z3 Compact will be 2 year old next week... I could lie and say that the phone is new... not even one scratch! ...
But the story could have been different If I did not have a cover for it... dropped the phone few time and the cover saved it.
when I ordered the XZ the Guy in the shop asked me if I want to sell my Z3C back to him! 
I said no thank you....I will keep it.

GSMARENA review of the XZ. Hoping to get mine on Friday as I've just ordered the SRS-HG1 Hi-Res Bluetooth speaker as perfect companion for it.

Its a flip case without Magnet close system on it, so if the phone drop the case will open and get damage. |

Good to hear that battery life & the display is an improvement over the Z5. The battery on my Z5 has worsened over the last few weeks, though I am a very heavy user. Another reason why I'm buying the XZ. 6th October can't come quick enough.
Xperia S in white ROCKS!! |
