While the global roll-outformally began last week, customers in the USA looking for the device are limited tothe Verizon variantwhich, admittedly, hasmore than a few improvements. Those Americans looking for the standard Z3+ can now do so at Amazon, where a few individual sellers are now listing the unlocked device, both Single and Dual SIM variants, for around $670.

Those interested should ensure toread about buyingfrom marketplace sellers as well as ask any relevant questions before purchasing. The model number is listed as E6553, and works with GSM carriers only, so Verizon and Sprint customers will need to look elsewhere.
