The full press release blurb is below, you can view the pre-order page here, and you can find out more about the phone here.

Sony Xperia™ Z – available for pre-order on Three.

The Sony Xperia™ Z, Sony’s innovative smartphone, is now available
for pre-order on Three.

Xperia™ Z brings together the best of Sony’s technology, design
and connectivity to deliver a precision engineered full HD smartphone.
The phone is smart, sleek and durable with a reflective glass surface
and is resistance to dust and water which means it’s perfect for
taking photos in the rain or texting from the bath!

The 5” full HD display has a Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 which
automatically optimises images so they’re sharper and brighter so
you’ll get the best in contrast and colour management.

Xperia™ Z also offers more intelligent battery management with
Battery STAMINA Mode so your phone lasts even longer. It knows when
your screen is off, shuts down the battery-draining apps you don’t
need and then starts them up again when the screen is back on.
Combined with the powerful 1.5GHz quad-core processor means you have a
top performing smartphone which won’t let you down.

Sylvia Chind, Head of Devices at Three, said, “We’re extremely
pleased to offer the Xperia Z for pre-order from the 1st February and
coupled with our highly competitive price plans and no surprise out of
bundle data charges, this premium smartphone brings you the ultimate
internet experience all on our Ultrafast network”.

a month with an upfront cost of £69 on the Ultimate Internet 500

surprise out-of-bundle data charges and All- You-Can-Eat data.

Additionally the smartphone is available on Pay As You Go for £449.99
plus a top up. All in One 15 costs £15 and gives 30-day access to
All-You-Can-Eat data along with 300 any-network minutes and 3,000

500 minutes and 3,000 texts and for a 30-day period.
