Android Marshmallow 6 on our Xperia Z5

Good Morning to You ALL !

This is our big day

Our most expected day

Android 6 MM has landed on our Xperia Z5

FW is 32.1.A.1.163, so it contains a lot of bugfixes with introduction of MM 6 Android 

Right now, is rolling for different models and on different countries so in few hours, or in one or two day, it will be on your phone, unless u're on a branded-operator phone where u should wait more days to come 

So, 7th March was right as we expected based on TWITTER INFO by Sony Xperia GB Winking_Face

More news to come !

I'm confused, what exactly am I waiting for since my z5 is unlocked? 

PC Companion is constantly being refreshed and nothings there.

Any rough idea how long it could be to get to me? (Uk 1298-5496-R11B)

Thanks In advance

When it's released, Is when it's released. Unfortunately there is no way to tell until it actually gets released.
Personally I wouldn't sit refreshing pc companion all day, just do it twice, 10am and 5pm, if it doesn't show, it won't any other time.

Nothing yet on Vodafone UK (Xperia Z5: 32.0.A.6.200). I've checked both the phone Software Update and bridge for mac but no dice.

The upgrade also makes the screen shot, calculator, web unusable from the square button. I usually used it but not it really doesn't respond.
