In a different thread, a member contacted Sony and it was stated that Sony USA had no (official) plan yet to release the handset in the US. The Play will be released with Verizon this summer tho.
On an unrelated note, I wish Sony would not *****-out in front of the carriers and would offer their own phones in Sony stores like they do with every other products. Maybe they will do so in the future, the ARC have only been recently released after all...
Sony Ericsson.. not Sony.. that's why you can't buy them in the Sony stores!

The Xperia ARC/Play will be sold in Sony stores in Canada starting April 27. They will be Rogers branded/locked tho.
They need to start selling the vanilla unbranded handset ...

I spoke to SE Canada today and they mentioned that unlocked versions of the Arc would be available from PureMobile.ca in a couple of weeks. He also mentioned that unlocked versions would be available from Amazon (but did not give a timeframe).

Cannot figure out why they havent released the arc in white, i think it'd look pretty damn good in white.
Just buy a LT15i. I got one and its working perfectly on T-Mobile USA, calls, text, data, everything.
And what data speeds do you get?
Because the Arc doesn't support T-Mobile US's 1700MHz band.
Oh, that I don't know, but my facebook app and others load in a perfectly reasonable amount of time. I'd test it but I only have a 200 mb data plan. My precious 6mb a day. xD

According to unknown13x, who has some insider info, the Arc will not come to the USA (on AT&T probably) until August/September due to supply shortage from Japan.
You can see his post here.
unknown13x said:
Initially the arc was bounded for AT&T, however, last I heard was that all LT15a's production was halted and shifted to LT15i due to the tsunami that hit Japan, destroying the main manufacturing facility. The only batch of LT15a made went to Rogers, so I don't know if they'll continue to get the stocks since there's more LT15i demand. All I know is it's very unlikely that it will be released anytime soon. More like Late Q3 or Q4, but by that time....there's going to be something else...

I thought they said the US market was important to them. Why are they waiting so long? I agree, they are going to lose market share, and ask "Why?" They better get it together soon, or else they will be a non-issue like Nokia.

Have had my Xperia Arc for a few months, just updated to 2.3.4. Makes the phone feel new again. But 512MB of RAM blows! Have to keep either clearing the phone's cache or delete applications. And the Arc s isn't any better.
I did notice it is H+, faster "faux" G.

Install SuperCharger V6 and the RAM problem will be gone

Hi, i want the best GSM Xperia play for me, i will only use 2G so it could be any of this 3 (R800I, R800A or R800AT), so i got this questions:
1) Wich one is the one to get the new firmwares released the faster?
2) Does the R800I and R800A have bloatware?
3) Is there any system perfomance diffference between any of this 3, maybe specific firmware release (If so wich one is better)?
3) Wich version has the best or less buggy firmware i know they change a bit between models.
Before knowing the answer i think this:
Im leaning towards the R800I because i think is the better one because so far i believe (but dont know if im right):
- isn't carrier dependant and doesn't has bloatware (the R800A is like this too but more expensive).
- Since its international maybe it gets faster and more firmwares update since they are released by sony instead of a phone carrier.
- The R800AT has att screens and logos and the R800I has sony branded logos and stuff instead.

The Xperia Z subforum is very active, but this one looks like a ghost town to date.
Anybody thinking of the ZL instead of the Z?
Camera button, IR blaster, smaller frame...
Mater of tastes and choices.
I'm totally getting both
I'm waiting for its US release. If it takes too long, I'll get a Canadian one off ebay provided it's AT&T LTE compatible. If that doesn't happen as well by the end of March or mid-April, I'll simply get an HTC. I already started missing the bigger screen on my HOX that I traded for a TL. So hurry up - Sony.
Ok lol! This is weird how come I can't see this forum on the index page? Same for me I'm planning to get the Xperia ZL. But if HTC One will beat it with the availability on my country then off to HTC One for me.
Me!
I don't need the water/dust proof, getting rid of those flaps would be a good thing for me
I am getting it, more compact plus camera button plus IR, it's going to be my next.
I am looking at getting the ZL as well rather the than the Z but will wait to have a look at the Samsung Galaxy S4 first.
I am getting either ZL, HTC one or S4. Want the AT&T LTE Not a big fan of samsung but their CPU always better and their OS update...
I'm looking to grab ZL and start cooking my own ROMs/kernels once for a change ( I think I'm the only programmer with a diploma that hasn't been an active developer on XDA :| ), but apparently availability is going to be crap, so I might have to get a Z instead :\
GG Sony !

Expect it mid March.
Can't wait to get it here in India; I heard it will be available here in April.
On a sidenote, why is this section not showing up when searching from the forum homepage?!
I can't find this forum on the device search, can the moderator fix this?
I definately will get it as soon as it's available in Canada.
I am hearing talk that the ZL here will launch with s600 instead of s4 Pro. Anyone want to comment?

Source? Pretty sure that both the Z and the ZL will have the S4 Pro.

Rumor comes from esato forums. Also another source on neogaf suggests the Z will launch in North America with S600 as well. This could explain why we're getting so little info on these phones, and why the North American launch is coming2 months after most other markets.

That's the case for the US. The Z launch being later is for other reasons.

xperia ZL hasn't been released in Europe either, is it North America exclusive only?
I think I'll get a ZL when it will be available in Switzerland. I hope it will be soon.
If what I've researched is true, Sprint's 4G LTE (A GSM tech) runs on the 1900 MHz band... If this is indeed true I might use some of my tax refund money to get this baby and save my upgrade for another time. I'm weighing my options. I'm also considering the Galaxy Note II, but I'll see.
Well, apparently androidcentral is reporting that the ZL, will have LTE bands working on ATT and T-mobile. If this is true, that would be so awesome! I cannot wait! :laugh:

No it will not. This is for the C6506, the unlocked model that will be sold in Sony Stores.

I know that, but this model is not going to be offered through AT&T. It will be compatible with AT&T bands, but not sold through AT&T.

Yes.... The C6502 which is what I have supports T-Mobile HSPA+ and such except LTE.
FCC are just rule that protects big companies especially the U.S. one such as Motorola and that makes selling cheap Chinese handset in the states and in Canada much more harder.
Good let's hope the ZL forums become a bit bussier
Hello ~
I've been waiting for the ZL for a long time
I'm about to buy it from the USA because it is not coming out in my country until May(Taiwan)
Can't wait anymore. lol
My problem is that is the Xperia ZL from PCNation factory unlocked?
Will I be able to use it in Taiwan?
Didn't want to buy it from ShopBLT since they have the no return policy.
