you forgot the main selling point - Compact.
there is not even one other option for a 4.3 inches screen with this powerful spec.

guys, no offence, just see if ther is any one willling, can be discuss. no prob

hmm maybe i confuse, with xperia series....

i remember sawing a xperia ?? compact than its water proof price 1.2k to 1.4k...range

Hopefully the Z1 Compact will be launched in middle of February. Its almost mid February now.

my colleague in taiwan have just bought a unit @ NT15380.. i jelly..

It's in Barcelona bro. Got nothing to do with Sony Malaysia's launch of the Z1 Compact. Anyway, the Z1 Compact had been launched in the UK and some other countries already. Malaysia is on the list of 'To be Launched'.

iphone 5c here rrm1999 if i m not mistaken..
so expect xperia z1 compact also around that price..

better wait for local sets... warranty for phone is kinda important imo.

wonder when will the market start to take note of us users who want pocket friendly android smartphone.
If price still maintain >RM2k i pokai buy this phone just got my new job
Anyone else got take part in the xperia z1 compact competition? hope can win

What about my question?

I wanna ask something about pricing. Why the Xperia Z1 at Sony Store is expensive than other shop sale, even the warranty is from Sony Malaysia. Sony Store RM 2199, at the other shop RM 1989. It is have the different in term of quality? Need a clear view. Please...

another way to look at it, the margin is extremely thin for resellers, so nobody is willing to give discounts... since it's product is highly desirable, there is no incentive for them to offer high margin to reseller to push their products, yet people will still buy..   

Finally, small & powerful fon arrive, ORI set

According to the lyn member that told us it's RM2058. Just check out his tered. Z1 is RM1998, Z1C is RM2058. Both ori. Seems like the mini version is more expansive than the original version. Think I'll go for the cheaper Z1. Time to save up.

A bit disappointed, thought that Z1C the mini version will be cheaper than it's bigger bro Z1.

U wouldn't scare enough until you see this picture http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachdl/da93.../3/DSC_0157.JPG

Ap set is now RM1788. Those who were hoping for this price should go grab it now.

local distributor..   they have ppl inside Dynamics maybe

Now the AP price is RM1599, so the RRP should be around RM1699-1799 as estimated in my previous post.
so it is coming in Sony store this week? I want it so badly or else i might just get the AP set!!!
