11/01 #XperiaZchat with Sharath Muddaiah – roundup
We ran the final CES #XperiaZchat this past Thursday with Sharath Muddaiah, Xperia Z Marketing Manager.
Thanks to all who took the time to join the discussion – for those who couldn’t make it, we’ve pulled a roundup together below.
Enjoy.
Is PlayStation Mobile available in every country? (as asked by @odinnot and others)
PlayStation Mobile is currently available in selected markets, we’ll share more info on rollout in other areas as it happens.
How much will Xperia Z cost? (as asked by @IL_ZoOm, @MaxwellBruka, @Ya7ya_M7md and others)
We give local retailers/operators the chance to inform on pricing and availability specifics, so please check-in with them for the latest details.
How does Xperia Z fare as a gaming device? (as asked by @lovenemesis, @ate_ball and others)
Xperia Z is PlayStation Certified, and loaded with the latest Adreno 320 graphics chip and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 quad-core processor (clocked @ 1.5Ghz).
In short, this means mobile gamers have both the best in class content and hardware at their disposal for flawless gaming on-the-go.
Will Xperia Z and Xperia ZL launch in Canada? (as asked by @gmpope, @ahamchi and others)
Yep – both Xperia Z and Xperia ZL will launch in Canada. Again, please drop your local retailers a note for the latest on pricing and availability schedules.
When will Xperia Z be available in the US? (As asked by @SifosiD, @snoopster222, @theAndrewHolmes and others)
We’re currently finalising agreements with our partners in the US, and will update you as soon as we can with any developments.
Can we also have one? (As asked by @geovannyht and @Pro0oMan)
Another nice try 
We’ll look at getting a competition or giveaway sorted over the next few months!
How does the screen fare against Xperia P? (As asked by @hippie403)
Xperia Z’s screen is every bit as bright as Xperia P’s – and, this time around we’ve introduced full HD Reality Display too
Can you tell us a little more about the glass? (As asked by @mwuhani3609 and others)
We can’t comment on supplier brand names, but Xperia Z uses durable tempered glass that has equivalent specs to Gorilla/Dragontrail.
When will different carriers get the coloured versions of Xperia Z? (As asked by @paulcusentino, @lovenemesis and others)
Xperia Z’s colour range will vary by both market and carrier – more details on this will be announced over the coming months. Again, for more details on this, please drop your local operators a note.
Can you shoot video underwater on Xperia Z? (As asked by @Marcello__D and others)
Sure – we’ve used Xperia Z to capture video underwater, the results were sweet. We’ll look at sharing some of this footage further down the line on the blog.
What is Xperia Z’s battery life like? (As asked by @Midou2FR and others)
Battery life depends on how you use the phone, it can be influenced by how heavily you use more demanding functionality (movies, games, apps etc). But, our new Battery STAMINA Mode is cool in that it automatically shuts down apps when the phone is in standby mode, and then reboots them when you flick the screen back on. All in all, it can extend standby mode by four times or more… which doesn’t do battery life any harm

Dear Sir/Mam,
Current Problem :- As per customer care executive (Name: Kansal) problem resolution I should get my handset”sony xperia mini” from Noida service center with extended warranty till now. Because I have not used this handset because of nonfunctional mode and most of the time hand set was with service center or in dead mode. This case is pending because of Mr. Bhuvan Kapadia who is not looking this matter from last 4 months after so many calls from me and also from customer care executives. My hand set is still with sony service center , sec18, Noida.
I have done so many complain to customer care from last 4 months. Please find the complain nos(ticket no) 94394156, 94335479, 94353870, 94394156,94401751,94394170,94394170.
You can check log of complain which I registered to customer care at 180030002800 by my mobile 08447552773.
By ticket ids and job sheet ids you can have a look that how much I am suffering because of poor services provided by sony. Job sheet nos which I am able to maintain are W112103001534; W112103101207,W112122901148,W112122901165,W112122901158. Prior to same I have not note down the job sheet no. I have submitted first time hand set to BULAKI DAS BUILDING, BEGUM BRIDGE, MEERUT. Manager name was Rajesh. (Job is I did not note down.)15th of August 2012 I have purchased this handset and from starting I am facing same problems. I have submitted two time to Meerut and service center returned my handset with same problems in Aug end week. Then again after getting time I have submitted handset to same Meerut service center and I did not get any resolution. Then I have submitted again at AMBE service center where after so much insult and misbehaviour I have faced from center. You can have a look on my previous mails.
As per the right to get service under warranty period I want my handset complete functional mode and also need good services if your product is defective because I have paid for same.
To avoid consumer court , I request first top repair authorities to look into the matter because after case gone to consumer court , top authorities should not have excuse that I could not look into the problem because customer has not given sufficient time. Now I already given four months time so that right person can take right decision.
I am looking still a right justice from sony top authorities.
Thanks,
Akshay Gupta

Dear Sony team,
Being one of the biggest fans of yours, throughout my life I have been using Sony (Sony Ericsson) mobiles and now I have decided to buy either Xperia SL or Xperia P. Actually, I have my mind prepared more towards SL as it stands above P but the following queries makes me step back towards P.
1) Why SL does not have White Magic Technology like P?
2) Why SL will receive upgrade to Jelly Bean latter than P?
3) Why SL is not available in all countries like P as SL is not available at official sonymobiles website-Austrailia, moreover very few retailers have knowledge about SL here in Pakistan?
4) Why SL is under very very rare discussion as compared to P, I mean people may be buying more P (may be for being better than SL), thats why P is more under discussion than SL?Plz. answer to all these quetsions at your earliest, so that I may buy either SL or P, as soon as possible.
Eagerly waiting for your earliest positive response at my email address provided during Signup or this blog.
Many many thanks.
