Ok, I'm dumb...

Rogers to sell the Sony Xperia Z3 for $600 off-contract, coming October 31st

Still haven't found anything about Telus. But at least you can buy the unlocked Compact at the Sony store and use it with them.

Still searching the regular 5.2" version.

This is for the Compact. No mention of the regular 5.2" version.
Yes, the Compact is for Bell. The regular Z3 is for more carriers. Here's a quote from their facebook page at www.facebook.com/sonymobile.ca (see October 5 post):

I did one of those side-by-side comparisons on the BELL website. All I could see was size.

Let me see if I can find different.

I like this phone.

I will be getting this phone. It has been decided.

It was really close between the N6, the OnePlus one and the Z3, but I like the look of the Sony more.

So the compact has a lower resolution screen (which probably wouldn't matter at that size) and 2 gigs of ram versus 3. It'd be a tough call as to which one I'd choose if I were on Bell. I think the Compact has an even longer battery life than the regular Z3.

What do you like about the Z3 over say the HTC One M8?

That one has almost a million views, too. You have to admit, unboxing underwater did add something to the entertainment value of what is typically a pretty mundane genre of youtube videos.

I like them. Gives me an idea of what to look forward to. It also helps answer questions like: is this included? Is that included? Etc.

Dunno. Only 5.2" display. Really think 5.5" is the sweet spot now. And glass on both sides? Talk about fingerprints constantly all over the phone.
