Well I just cancelled my order with Negri as they were probably going to bill me extra and ordered from Clove, as I live in Thailand I didn't pay UK VAT but will pay vat into Thailand - delivery was 30 quid so no difference in price with Negri and I get a free watch - good result

I had the chance to play with this phone in Dalian, China today. I have to say the screen is superb. I tried a few pix in the store at 8 and 20MP in the bright showroom at wide angle. When I zoomed in I did see a noticeable amount of noise. I've never had a smart phone before and can only compare this noise level to my Panasonic lumix. To me it seemed like a lot of noise, even with ISO turned down to 50 (much better at that iso), but then again, I'm not sure what is 'nomal' or acceptable noise levels. It is an extremely responsive phone and feels natural and very high tech. It almost feels like something off a sci-fi movie when you use it. The time shift feature is really cool. It did get fairly warm while playing with it for 40 minutes. Lastly, I'm not sure if I should get the white or black.

Well, I'm also an avid road cyclist and PC geek. So, ordered laptop from Germany and did not have to pay import tax and order a lot of bike stuff from UK, also did not have to pay import tax. None of the items I imported were listed as a gift or of lower value, so I would safely assume that there will be no import tax charged in the US.

I had the X10 and after that all the phones I got were unlocked. I am able to keep my unlimited data plan because I get a corporate discount on my AT&T bill. I also get a 10 to 20% discount on all purchases at the official Sony online store.
Nice commercial.
what the hell. i get a corp discount too. but they saw no problem in just yanking my unlimited data plan out from under me. the moment they picked up the x10 and recognized it in their system, they pushed me to the 2gb plan with no warning. after 13 years of service, i expected better. i've always been comfortable and confident that i'd have signal with AT&T, which is why i've always stayed with them. but i have friends with tmobile and they don't seem to complain, so i'll give it a try. worst case, i'll be back to AT&T in 6 months heh
I guess I got lucky then, kept my unlimited data when switched to the X10 back then and when I got the ion they switched me to an unlimited LTE, they just charged me an extra $5 on my data pan when I switched to the X10...no corporate discount or anything like that...just the same old plan from way back with 2 lines

lucky you.
i just got shafted then. oh well.
on a side note.. iphone 5s is apple's usual diatribe of "revolutionary" new features..
i think their goal is to make it shinier each new design. people like shiny things.

Now I'm actually very interested in seeing a comparison between the new iPhone 5S with the Z1.
