More like simplified Chinese, and China does not sell the 64GB version, whiles the rest of the world does not sell the 16GB version.

that's correct, mainland china uses simplified chinese ( malaysia some times use it), but taiwan and hong kong uses traditional chinese

Is it like 100 in terms of having Android as OS?

No, it's Sonys own OS and it already was on the Zx100. It's very nice and user friendly, but doesn't feature any streaming options so no Spotify or tidal. The only wireless option it supports is Bluetooth audio (aptx, aptx HD, ldac)

I'm really interested in the ZX300! Do you know some good sites/ forwarding services from China/Japan to consider the ZX300A or ZX300s Tourist version? EU volume cap sucks...

You can remove the cap in like 1 minute tho. But AccessoryJack.com is a good site for importing stuff

Thank you. It seems like buying it from CN would be cheaper than buying in EU, even with customs tax (which could or could not be applied). It's tempting!

Same here. I'm a little anxious because I never bought something outside the EU worth more than 150 euros, but being familiar with the customs process already and upon hearing the praise for Accessoryjack, I'm inclined to take my chances. 580 euros at AJ (plus temporary free shipping) versus 700 euros on the official Sony website is like a siren's song.

@Partlys4int I messaged AJ to know If they plan on stocking the cheaper ZX300A with only 16Gb ROM. Will update when I get an answer.

I've already emailed to them a few days ago, no reply.

It looks like the black version of this player won't be sold in Europe.

Thats another reason to buy the Asian version.

 

[Albator75000]

@kms108 Maybe if a lot of people ask they will consider it..

@Mark2010 Absolutely I think it looks a lot sexier in black!

 

[kms108]

It's not whether they will sell it or not, i haven't got a reply from them.

I have no problem in getting one, I live in Hong Kong, just a 30 minutes train ride to Shenzhen is all I need, it's the same for AJ, they are located in Hong Kong, so getting stuff from China isn't a problem either.

I'm still after the 64GB version, I have no interest in the 16GB version.

Have Sony Walkmans ever been plagued by early production defects? I'd buy the ZX300 as soon as it's available, but this thought crossed my mind.

 

[superuser1]

Does anyone live in Malaysia and can confirm availability in KL. I saw the Malaysian Sony site has the player listed.

Amazon China's expected ship date was 09/21 when I ordered mine. They have just changed it to 10/15...
