I was looking on Best Buy, and I just noticed that the ion is now listed for $29.99. You Cannot beat that price for what the phone is.
Wonder if they'll give me $20 back on a gift card or something.

That would be nice, if so..
I bought mine through Wal-Mart online, and it's still $49.99 on there.

Yea, I just got mine last Wednesday, so I guess I am going to have to try also. I did get mine for $40.
Yeah, I would definitely ask them...especially since they changed the price of it so fast.
This is directly from Bestbuy's website:
Best Buy will match the price if you find a lower price on an identical available product at a local retail competitor's store, a local Best Buy retail store or BestBuy.com. Simply let us know when you are making your purchase or during the return and exchange period.
I just got my credit!!! Woot! A total of $76.39 after taxes, direct from AT&T. I had to provide the Best Buy link for proof, but I got the confirmation text and the chat transcript, should anyone else need to know exactly what to say. (I work Level 2 Tech Support, so I'm well versed in these things.)
Do u work for Verizon?

This is awesome - barely meet the 30 days for the price match. Not only got $20 back from BestBuy. And because the sale prep. did a return and resell - I now have 30 days extended warranty. Can't believe it, cheap price for a great LTE phone.

Too bad there aren't enough Sony stores around to be consider local competitor store.
I got my ION today @ BestBuy for $32.01 out the door. First my X10 was free & now just $32 for the ION. I got 2 great phones for cheap

Wow incredible pricing! shame i have to pay full price if i want to buy it here
but i can also buy it in red
It dropped to FREE at Best Buy today. I got mine this past Friday and went back today, mentioned the price on bestbuy.com (since they didn't have a display of it) and got a price adjustment. They couldn't make it "free" but I'm plenty happy paying a penny for such an amazing phone!!
Hi Guys....
I just saw this on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blue-Black-...121926?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27c8d4ec86
IS THIS FOR REAL ????
I am just AMAZED and thought share this with you guys here....
Lol
For that price the phone should be included.
Can't be correct

They do this when they dont have any in stock because they know nobody will buy, once back in stock they will lower price.
It saves them relisting the item and additional costs for relisting.
My friend priced his home 100k above market value thinking if anybody was stupid enough to buy, he will sell..
Now he has 1 week left to find a new place to live...

Wondering if anyone's bought a cheap genuine sammy charge and sync cable for a decent price ?
doesn't have to be UK so long as it's confirmed genuine and cheap shipping
so may sellers are being listed as fakes I don't know where to shop.

you don't seem to get my original post, I wan't a genuine cable at a good price, I am asking if anyones bought a Genuine one and where they got it from as 99% of ebay / amazon will be cheap fakes.
I get fed up being stung with cheap crap so thought i would post the question here.

Umm. You can never spot fakes until you installed the new display on your xperia play. Or compare your display to theirs.
Odp: Original screen replacement? How can I recognise fakes?
So could you point me to the place which is supported by Sony or somebody else so I'd have some kind of proof that it's original? You know just particular site, user, seriously, anything that could help me with correct choice, worldwide shipping is a must.

EBay Its your best bet if you look for something cheap... I've got parts fit different things and never had a problem... And what do u mean by original?...as long as it fits and works that's the main thing....just do a good search

What I mean is that it won't be a cheap Chinese display so it won't perform worse than original, what do you mean by make a good search?

I bet your not an ebay buyer, if you were you would've been aware of ebay's buyer protection programs against merchant scams. Its not hard to spot fakes you just have to be aware of what the display looks like.

Search eBay or Craigslist for Xperia Zs and you will find many going for $400-$500, search for ZLs and you can find them in the low $300s and even lower!
Today I bought a black C6506 off a guy in San Diego for $260. He said he paid $550, but was complaining the cell phone exchange services would only give him $150. It's not in immaculate condition, but it is unlocked and has an unlockable bootloader. I could have easily brought him down to $240, but considering I paid the same (plus tax which made it $600) I felt it was a good value.
His loss. This will be for a friend.
At $260 he got ripped off... I've gotten ~$450 offers easily... Craigslist is never a good place to sell if you want a decent return though.

It is if you are selling something people know. No one knows the ZL so no one made him good offers I will make sure it goes to a good home. You will probably not sell it as high as on eBay, but you won't have to pay eBay/Paypal fees, so a lot of the times Craigslist is better.
I still like the ZL over the Z coz of its looks. Only if the ZL had a glass back it wud look premium but I have no complaints against it. This device being so rare in the market, ppl get confused as to which device is this. Makes u feel special
Sent from my C6506 using xda premium
I paid $535 for the ZL in Amazon last month and look at the price now, you can buy a Z for $520. While the iPhone keep in a good value for more time, Android phones suffer low value in the market after few months.

I love the ZL for its rarity. And market value doesn't bother me at all since I always sell my phones to friends and family for half the price I bought them for.

I have both Z and ZL. Prefer the ZL - the Z is too awkward in terms of size and flaps. And the ZL has a better display (very noticeable and corroborated by GSMArena) and a couple of neat extras (IR and Camera button).
Everything else is identical, functionally.
Both were well under £400 from Amazon - new, unlocked etc.)
I don't understand why it's not popular..
When I see people talking about Honami saying "I wish it had smaller bezels" i think of ZL.
I think ZL looks better than Honami....

It's not because ZL suck or what. Simply, Sony markets the Z as the flagship and doesn't sell the ZL everywhere compared to the Z.

It should be the other way, the ZL is more cheaper than the Z, which mean the ZL have more market penetration for the price.

The Z doesn't have a camera button?? I thought it did. The Z never appealed to me because of the flaps. I really don't my phone to be waterproof. The Z got picked up by more carriers than the ZL, so that has helped make the Z more known than the ZL.
No it doesn't - as I said.

My statement was meant to be a surprise, not disbelief
The Z is branded by carriers and is sold subsidized. The ZL is not. In places like the US most people buy their phones subsidized (not to mention carriers do marketing) so the ZL has no chance of matching the same popularity.
Here in Brazil, we didn't received the Z version. Sony explore the market here only with ZQ (a.k.a ZL C6503).
So we have carrier subsidiary prices. I've got mine for 900 BRL, something like 450 USD, while the full price was 2000 BRL, something like 1000 USD.
I know, prices here are awful.

I don't know. It's odd because they sell it on their online store, and I've seen it at their Sony Style stores as well. Again, someone fell asleep at the wheel and forgot about it. I'm sure they will still support it.
