@doministry - several reviewers i saw said there is definitely no FM radio. not a big deal for me since i've never used it. you can always use applications to stream radio anyway, which is usually better than the quality you would get from an FM radio antenna.
@icrk - mine shipped as well, i think. it says dispatched, but i have not received a tracking number. have you? my screen protector should be here on friday.

Moogoo,
Yes, it should be a 10 digit number. (mine started with a 7) When you view your order, at the bottom under Addition Comments. Tracking ID:
Keep me posted on that protector, I thinking about getting that one as well. It looks way better than the one it got.
Currently DHL just has shipment info received. Should see movement tonight.....Side note: Strangely though the headphones doesnt appear to come with same shipment.
Edit....Mine just was picked up. Scheduled delivery Monday Oct 10!!...YAY!!!![ This Message was edited by: lcrkz0023 on 2016-10-06 15:54 ]

ah thanks. found it. mine says estimated delivery is on Monday by 8pm. of course, i'm sure that could change depending on customs. how do you know they aren't in the same shipment? it says "1 piece" but that could just mean they're both packed into the same box.
i'll keep you posted on the screen protector. i don't think it'll be amazing, but it will do the job until one of the much nicer ones gets released.

Great! glad yours shipped. It clears customs pretty fast, i never had an issue...
Hmmm....about the headphones I suppose thats could be true too. When I looked at view order the headphone status still said process. I figured that would have had the same status as the phone.

I broke my Z3+ yesterday and I was really tempted to put a XZ order in but I always get burnt when I adopt early. Spoke to a guy at Clove and they say the headphone bundle is a limited offer, Carphonewarehouse has it in stock at the same price but without the headphones. Anyway, got myself a Z3 Compact for less than £100 so I'm happy. I will definitely get the XZ once I get some quality real life reviews from you guys
I still can't decide on the colour because the platinum one looks awesome too but lets see how scratch resistant this new fancy metal is. Also, I'm waiting for Android N to be available, I'm hoping for a proper refresh of the UI as well as some improvements to other aspects such as battery life or camera processing (if they need that of course). I was watching a Btekt video showing the XZ against the iPhone 7, 4K recording for 15 minutes caused the overheating message and drained a lot more battery than the iPhone 7. I've seen the iPhone 7 with 2GB RAM annihilating androids when it comes to games so I'm all for any software optimisation.

icrkz - my headphone and phone are lumped into one order. i don't have a separate status for the headphones. at least as far as i can tell. there's just one item in the list that says :
Sony Xperia XZ - Forest Blue - F8331 - Free MDR-XB950BT Sony Wireless Headphones worth £150
so, i would guess they're both in one box.
badassmam - nougat is supposed to be out for the xz this month according to the leaked plan. i honestly also wouldn't trust that btekt review all too much. he seems very very biased in favor of iphones. not to say iphones aren't very well optimized for their specs because they definitely are. But in real world usage, you'll never find an iphone user claiming that their battery lasts forever, whereas you find that all the time with sony users. In his comparison, he did not show what processes were running on the XZ vs. the iphone. Nor did he show when they were taken off the charger. Both these factors and more could make those few percent difference. Not saying his results were faked, but I think the test conditions could have been more transparent. I was an early adopter of the Z1 and i loved it. still use it to this day until my XZ arrives on Monday and I have a chance to trim my SIM to fit. haha. I'll write up a review though I'm sure it will be biased FOR sony hahaha..

Well the real radio is a different thing. It doesn't require f.. data transfer and coverage,
and the stations I care about are not live streamed.
It always makes me nuts when they REMOVE stuff.

Dang..yea mine is separated. But glad my phone shipped 1st instead of the alternative.
Here's where you go if you want to pick it up at facility right when they open.

The click service point.

true. it doesn't require data. and sucks that your stations don't stream. guess there are dongles you could get.
the FM chip is probably still there, it's just not enabled. there should be a way to enable it?

found this as a potential solution but whether it works or not is a different story.
@icrkz - i will probably for them to deliver it. i'll be home anyway.
