Optus first to Xperia the Z2 in Australia

Sony Xperia Z2
Sony's best phone yet is finally available in Australia

Updated 13 May: Telstra has today announced that the Xperia Z2 will be available online and in stores today for an outright price of $672, which is $87 cheaper than Sony's outright price.

On a 24-month plan, the handset will demand an extra $6 charge per month on a $70 Mobile Accelerate Plan, or $10 extra per month on a $60 Business Performance Plan.

Beat it, this phone ain't Bad

Optus is the first telco to launch the handset, with the Z2 arriving today on a range of plans. You can expect to fork out $16 a month in handset repayments on a $60 Optus plan though, which includes 1.5GB of data.

Optus is also throwing in a free pair of Adidas trainers worth $190 for customers who get the phone and claim before the end of July.

Vodafone customers can grab the handset from May 7, with handset repayments of $10 a month on the $65 plan, which includes 1.5GB of data as standard.

Telstra customers can register their interest for the handset, although no official release date has been confirmed.

Everyone else can grab the handset outright today for $759 through Sony direct channels.

There's also a spot of good news for Michael Jackson fans, as every Xperia Z2 owner can grab a copy of the late king of pop's new album XSCAPE via the Xperia Lounge app on the day the album is released.

If that doesn't sell you, we don't know what will...
