This is great news for my Z too! Saw this on xperiablog earlier today.. I'm still lovin the 4.3 look though. Can't wait to see what 4.4 brings for our Zs! :D

Sony is skipping the 4.3 update and just updating the Z to 4.4.

So why do some people have 4.3? Is Sony skipping on just the T-Mobile version but updating the international?

blame carrier certification times. sony probably saw that by the time they got 4.3 rolled out for t-mobile. they'd be releasing 4.4 already. same thing is happening here in australia with the Htc one mini for vodafone. it's skipping 4.3 and going straight to 4.4

4.3 would have been for the unlocked versions. Sony would see no point in having to go through all the trouble of carrier certification to release 4.3 which at the end of the day will bring nothing different to the Z. Might as well go straight to 4.4 :)

Okay, I get now, that's for all the responses and for answering the question :)

I have a Hong Kong Z Model C6603. I live in the US and use T-Mobile. I got 4.3 through Sony Companion...its a software updater that you can find on sony website.

That way you won't have to wait for T-Mobile.
