Xperia Z3 5.0.2 lollipop begins rollout.

[viridis]

So far has hit nordic areas and will take a few weeks to rollout everywhere.
Of course, network firmwares will take as long as it takes the networks to test and ok to sony

Just tried flashing the French customisation but it gave up as soon as it started.

Another retreat ?

I reckon so,
O2 had better hurry up with the update,
I have had multiple customisations on the z3 and keep coming back to O2,
Less bloat (no really, you can choose if any O2 apps are included or not on 1st boot)
Easily disabled O2 guru stuff
Complete control over which network type to connect to.
Faster!!??
Better 4g speed
I just can't argue it, the O2 firmware is better.
@Chris_K make sure to tell them not to screw round with the network mode options, they really work well

ha! I won't hold my breath as it's been 2 weeks for the last few months! However, I am looking forward to it. It's the geek equivalent of Christmas (or Halloween!)

I assure you, this is the first time Sony themselves have given a date for Z1 5.0.X
Z3 - late
Z2 - on time
Z1 - on time
Z. - Pending.

Also bear in mind it's 5.0.2 and many just expected 5.0.1 so good on Sony for implementing it fairly quick.
5.1 has been certified for z3 variants so should appear in summer.
