no update yet for me either. last time the update was released, i got it about a week and a half after it first started rolling out. so i've got some time yet i guess.. i seem to be getting it OTA the same time as PC companion pushes it out, so that's good. I don't have to check PC companion all the time and SMUS requires me to turn it off, which i hate doing..

FINALLY got my hands on a Z1 today! Went to the Sony Store and they had live demo models. I also went to Bell and Telus stores, the Bell store only had dummy units, and Telus store didn't even have the Z1 around.
The phone feels amazing in the hand. They had a dummy Z next to it, and even though it's slightly thicker the Z1 feels thinner and more comfortable. It was extremely snappy and no signs of micro lags of course. Speaker performance was pretty decent in the relatively loud store. I wasn't floored by it, but it should be more than sufficient for my uses. I did confirm that it was the C6906 that they had BTW.
Screen was amazing head on. I did notice the viewing angles washed out relatively quickly. I did a quick online search and would say the pics on this page are probably the closest to what I saw:
http://www.androidauthority.c[....]parison-viewing-angles-277660/
They did have a live Z Ultra beside it, and the results of my quick test mirror that page quite accurately. The Ultra did get a bit darker when viewing at an angle, but maintained the overall clarity of the image and colours were still accurate. The Z1 began to wash out at maybe 20 degrees and colours began to suffer a bit. For example in that sample video on Sony phone these days, when you get to the part with the canyon if you tilted the phone a bit the reds in the canyon walls would quickly disappear. Funny enough I did a small comparison with the Z1 and my Xperia x10a and the viewing angles are actually pretty similar.
Now I'm not going to bitch about the viewing angles and it won't really affect my decision to buy the phone. If it's on par with my x10a I won't mind too much because I know what to expect and can live with that just fine. Based on everything I've seen online I'm guessing these phones (they had 2 of them, both had the same quality screen) are bottom of the barrel in terms of overall Z1 screen quality. Very interested to see more phones from different batches and see if I can notice any differences.
Anyways, overall very impressed with the phone. Still waiting for Rogers to say anything about pricing and availability.
EDIT.
And just like that Rogers has updated availability! lol

$199 on a 2 year plan eh. Too bad they only have purple and black. I kinda had my heart set on white.
