This is the cheapest way to get the white model of the Z5 Compact sim free. The £377.10 was the final price I paid after using Amazon's currency convertor today and it includes the shipping fee. You should be able to get this even cheaper if you use a fee free card for international purchase.
The white model in the UK is exclusive to Carphone Warehouse (and is inexplicably MORE expensive than going direct to Sony - £449 vs £429).
Note: There are cheaper sellers there but this is direct from Amazon (EUR 507.49). I have no idea about the reliability of the other sellers but since this is an EU purchase anyway it's likely safer to go direct via Amazon.

Love the compact z3 not really seen much to convince me this would be an upgrade. Good price though.

gotta be honest. Went into cpw other day, and while it may be a great phone internally, externally it didn't feel or look it in comparison to the z3c. Didn't have that "premium" feel to it.

i want to replace the housing on my z3c but cant find any reputable shops that will do it :-( at the minute its the green casing, wouldnt mind black.
To open it though requires skill and tools that i do not have.

If you do find someone let me know as I'm after something similar for mine :smiley:

Personally, I wouldn't risk it as it'd invalidate your warranty and likely the waterproofing too.

Wait a year and buy this phone for £240-ish.

Wait a year and any non-Apple flagship phone will be over £100~ cheaper

This has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, seems a bit bonkers for a phone with only an HD screen. Could get a z3 compact instead without losing much.

I was under the impression that one of the main differences is finger printer sensor.
If you want to be able to use the new pay with your phone which I think is coming to Android soon, then I thought you needed a fingerprint sensor to do this?
