Sony outs Xperia Ion
Yes, 'Ericsson' now banished from maker's moniker
CES 2012
Sony has begun to drop 'Ericsson' from new smartphones following its acquistion of the Swedish comms kit company's share of the pair's mobile phone business.
Exhibit A (above) is the Xperia Ion, announced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) today. It's an Android boy with a 4.6in, 1280 x 720 display - bigger than yours, LG - a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU; a 12Mp camera on the back; 16GB of Flash storage; and HDMI output.
Sony said the PlayStation Certified Ion will go on sale in the US in Q2, and we'd say it'll out over here in that timeframe too, though almost certainly without the LTE connectivity AT&T will be offering the phone with. ®

The way she's holding it...
Does it suffer from antenna problems like the iPhone 4?
1280 x 720 display, 1.5GHz dual-core CPU, sounds great. What did you say the battery life was? Ah, you didn't. Hmmm.
'bland, square black and boring clone phone running a nasty operating system"
No, you are confusing this phone with the Nokia 800.
Er, ICS can also run on phones that have buttons you know.
Sod the phone....
I'll have her please, don't bother to wrap.
Actually, on second thoughts, the phone will likely be less troublesome....
