Ever since the Xperia Z was revealed at CES, I’ve been fantasizing about buying the gorgeous device. With its minimalist, monolith-like design, polished software, and top of the line specs, there are so many things to like about the Sony Xperia Z. Did I mention it’s waterproof?

The Xperia Z is becoming available today in the first market, and as you’d expect, the lucky first customers are Japanese. The phone is the star of NTT Docomo’s Spring Collection, and was first made available for preorder on January 23.

If you happen to be in Japan, you can now buy the Sony Xperia Z in black, purple, or white. The device is actually a version that is customized for the Japanese market, codenamed SO-02E, and boasting a One Seg tuner, FeliCa NFC, infrared, and a bevy of localized software features.

The other specifications are identical to the international version, with highlights such as a quad-core Snapdragon S4 SoC, a 441PPI full HD display, and a 13.1MP camera with Exmor RS sensor.

If you’re interesting in getting the device now, check out NTT Docomo’s product page. As for the other markets from around the world, we have an availability roundup here.

    Already preordered it. Can’t wait to get it:-) I’m hoping the 6000 mah battery will do ok.

    How about no, I’ll preorder the FHD N7 for $200 in about 40 days (long 40 days),

    But ppl got nerve to talk about RT prices. Too much for an android tab.

    Had it come out sooner I might have considered it. I finally went with a Nexus 10 in Mars and I am very happy with my choice.
    Sony have shown quite interesting products of late but the must but they must start bringing them faster to market.

      Unfortunately the Nexus 10 is not available where I live:-/

    I am holding out for the HP Slatebook x2 now that that has been announced. I just wish it would come out sooner than August, but the Sony is clearly a rip off when you compare specs…
