That's the same launcher I saw on the demo XZU at Sony IPC just now too.

Even if you get it today, you probably won't get the free 3500mah Sony Powerbank.

Better wait for 1st August official release for proper promotions.

I'm still thinking whether to go for this 3G model on 1st August or wait til the LTE version is out. If the LTE version is going to be out on end September, I'd rather get this now and later on change to something else (Note III, One Max, etc.).

Cheers~

Thanks for confirm on interface. Weird why my friend show me one is old.

That is indeed strange if there are some older versions around
Maybe their firmware is different

Ya, I also curious, below is the phone my friend snap at shop. He didn't buy yet, just see see only.

Aiyah! That is the homescreen next to the main screen. It shows only music widget
Left to main screen is weather n power control widget

I wonder what is the difference you are talking about.

Waiting our garage sale price.should be lower than rrp.

waiting for root impatiently... wanna unleash all my apps on this beast~!~!~!

I don't need the LTE model anyway, where i'm working at doesn't have LTE nor my home

But then again i was quite satisfy with the screen although there some slight blue tint comparing to my HTC One and friends One X screen

The center icon for the app drawer is not the same as the one in videos but similar to the one in Z/ZL

Although LTE might be futureproof, but why the needs of very very high speed internet? for hotspot sharing and download? or the higher the better, nothing to lose.

DANG, sharp eyes! Andrewtst, is this what you talking about?

Means you all didn't notice. The app drawer icon look different. Also that wallpaper is old one, not as advertise one.

Also advertise one settings menu background is white color instead of as you show just before in black.

Yup, that is what I talk about lo. Also the wallpaper is old one.

Not only that, the battery icon at status bar also is old design, not as show in commercial advertisement.

Bro, if you have used LTE before, it's a whole different world.

Latency is very low, almost instant response nearly as good as my Unifi fibre-optic. I'm enjoying LTE now on my iPhone 5, and previously HTC One and Z10.

Once the LTE XZU is out, it 'may' probably be at a higher RRP, so it's good to get the 3G version to save some money, or for people like me who prefer LTE, I'd get it first 'just in case' Sony delays the LTE version for Malaysia for whatever reason. Remember what happened to some Sony products like PS Vita that got delayed for many many months, better get and use the 3G XZU to the fullest first.

well for me. i asked the sony centre worker. he said.
free gift. screen protector, casing.
so its from Sony Center. meaning original...screen protector and casing,

Latency is interesting point that cannot be ignored. Interesting.

Is it the IPC branch? Or which branch you mean? When I checked with the salesgirl there she said no accessories arrived yet for the XZU. If there is indeed Screen Protector and Case, awesome! Only after 1st August sale is it? And did they mention that they will still give the Sony Powerbank? Cheers

This is the new wallpaper but battery icon in old design.

Maybe Sony change back the design at the end? due to the new app drawer icon look copycat from Lenovo K900 design?
