549€ it is in Estonia.
Expansys is doing the same thing for $632.
Why this phone is so expensive??? I think Sony want to be reach in 1 day...Here in Rusia this phone cost $950, this is crazy price!!!! All material from this phone and work to build it cost no more then $300, and we must pay triple price....If people will not buy it, price will go down. Other thing is display, sony talking about bravia display, but this feature is available only when you see photos from your phone, when navigate on internet, colour are same as on simple LCD display, amoled is much better.
SONY, rethink about phone price. When will out S4, nobody will buy this phone....
hahahahahah i feel sorry for sony 699 for this crap.... rip sony
This phone will soon be forgotten!

You say 699$ is too much? in Europe it will be 699€ (910$)

My comment only applies to those using 'PAYG'
Those on a contract are not affected by this.
NooB, 07 Mar 2013Can you please explain how a non replaceable battery equates to a phone needing replacing? sor... moreAll batteries depreciate after a certain amount of charging because they don't hold a full charge after about six months usage.
Hope that explains the reason.
AnonD-59657, 07 Mar 2013$699 for Xperia ZL is extremely overpriced!
In fact it only worth $499.
Sorry Sony, you let ... moreYeah.
These guys - MobiCity - are grey importers.
New items with these guys normally drop $100 after the first week. They do well like that.
When the Nexus 4 is at $299-350 what is Sony thinking?? With Sony you get a 4.1 phone that probably will not be upgraded to 5.0 and for sure not to 5.1 or 6.0. waste of money
AnonD-3209, 07 Mar 2013as for Malaysia, it'll be available on March 15 at 1899 MYR (610 USD)..And that's pretty decent considering the retail price at a Samsung concept store cost RM1999.
Ehh guys, Mobicity is a parallel importer. Meaning they're not selling Australian stock and they're not selling at retail price (whatever that eventually end up as). They're selling at whatever they can get away with.
I love this phone but now I will stay loyal to my Z (typed from my Z :D)
[deleted post]I was merely telling people the truth.
Obviously there are some who don't want to hear it..
