Sony Xperia Z to hit all major Australian carriers

 

Sony is definitely determined to bring the Xperia Z flagship as in many countries as possible and, of course, as soon as possible.

Australia is the next major market the Sony Xperia Z is going to hit this March. Telstra has already opened forms where you can register your interest of buying the device.

According to the Head of Sony Mobile Oceania, the Australian Optus and Vodafone should also be offering the Xperia Z as well. This means that all major carriers in Oz will be offering the latest Sony flagship.

There is no info on the pricing and the exact launch date, but we guess the price tag on contract won't be that different from its competitors.

The Xperia Z was announced at CES in Las Vegas a few days ago and we already had our first meeting with it. You can check out our hands-on right here.

UK carriers start taking Galaxy S III mini pre-orders

 

The Galaxy S III mini was announced just yesterday, but it?s already available for pre-order from three of Britain's major carriers.

This means that you can get the Samsung smartphone for free as long as you are willing to sign a two-year contract. The cheapest Vodafone contract that gets you a shinny new Galaxy S III mini for zilch costs ?25/month. If Orange or O2 are your carrier of choice, you need ?26/month or ?27/month contract, respectively, to get a free mini.

There are cheaper plans, too, starting from ?15.50/month, but you'll have to pay ?199.99 to have the Samsung Galaxy S III mini on them. You can always opt for the SIM-free device, but it will set you back ?300.

To sweeten up the deal, Phones 4U is throwing free Pebble MP3 players for the first 350 pre-orders.

The Samsung Galaxy S III mini is expected to start shipping in the beginning of November.
