On the Xperia Z side, T-Mobile's exclusive Sony flagship handset will cost $580 as its full retail price, which you can also pay up front or in monthly installments after the down payment. While the Xperia Z is available for sale July 17, preorders begin July 16 -- and there's a free Bluetooth speaker for a limited number of customers.
