Where to buy Xperia 1 iii

HELP

Decided to switch back to xperia after having a pixel. I know I need the north American version for t-mobile 5g. Is there a best place for me to buy, or look to buy from?

Just an FYI: WiFi calling doesn't work with the Xperia 1 III on T-Mobile

Yeah, I experienced that before on my XZ2 compact. While I really wish they could figure it out, it seems it will never get fixed. Not a deal breaker for me

Anything else missing? Bands? 5G?

B&H or Adorama, don’t bother with the Sony website lol

Yeah, it's a mess lol. I was debating B&H or Amazon.

Amazon would take much longer. Shipping apparently starts in October. I pre-ordered from them in early July, still no phone.

I'm looking for the same, but in my case, I'd like to get the Violet one, so I think I'm out of luck and must stick to the Sony store since seems like no other stores are selling it, just the black one, ouch. Good luck!

Yes, frosted purple is Sony exclusive. This is why I imported 512 GB XQ-BC72 in purple. No 71 band and no 5G, and some risk, but good so far.

Hi!, where did you bought yours from?

Mi4Canada. There's more than one importer out there, so I'd recommend carefully checking refund, return, shipping insurance, policies, etc.

They added a US adapter to the bag, so you can still use Sony OEM charger.

Got it, will do my research and check them out, thanks a lot!

Does the Canadian version get Call of duty 43,200 CP mobile points?
