I guess it should be noted that Playstation Mobile just launched today for various Android devices and the Vita. Here's a link to a thread with great info:

This was expected from a few weeks ago but definitely welcomed news.
Google needs to serious push this as a gaming standard for future android phones to be ratified against ... maybe even jumping in partnership with PlayStation Network and with Microsoft's Kenect for XBos 360 ... I cannot imagine Android users fully entrenched with Nintendo Wii.
Q: Which regions will have access to PSM at launch?
A: US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Japan and Australia

More about this hoopla about multiple Nexus devices:

If true, it seems Google will allow each manufacturer some leeway in offering a custom UI which seems like it can be turned off and reverted to plain vanilla Android. If true, I don't see any reason why Sony wouldn't want in as they could still push their services ecosystem on the device.

Yeah I thought so, as what stops Sony in the beginning ( SE time ) was that they couldn't compete from a hardware perspective, they needed to differentiate them self using software customization... Which Nexus doesn't have ( till now with 4.2 )
It was the same story as it had with Windows Phone 7, they couldn't compete because what they have was only a phone design, they can't compete with hardware or software that's why they didn't bring any WP7 device...
But, there's a problem, while they can now put their "Sony Experience" on any Nexus they can make, It will be hard for them at least for this time... why ? they make a huge investment advertising Xperia T and James Bond Movie... if they released an Xperia Nexus device this time ( End of October ) it will just affect Xperia T so badly...
plus not to mention that they're already having problem having both Xperia T and TX in all markets because of the S4 shortage... even some markets might get these in Q4 ( like Middle East, according to Facebook's Sony Mobile ME page ), so how about adding another device to the portfolio which might be a bigger hit for them...
So I guess If Sony really is working on Xperia Nexus, it will be a low chance. and Will be faced by big competition from the LG Quad Krait SuperSmartPhone... along with Galaxy Nexus 2...
But I'll be not surprised if Sony did manage to do the phone, and kept it a top secret ( like having it designed by separate team )... but I'll be happy with that...

@djin,
I already talked to our local dealer in Bahrain named Fakhro, one said it will come this month at the end or early November, then I called them again but this time the guy told me there's no info yet, and they didn't make any order.. but he expected that it will come in December or January !!
If the dealer you talked to was original Sony dealer then it's okay I'll assume that the guy in Bahrain's dealer doesn't know.. but if it wasn't then it might be imported...
Edit: any way, with the new Nexus phones are very close now end of Oct or early Nov.. I think I'll wait for that time already while waiting for Xperia TX... lets hope there's something interesting... if it was only that LG, I'll just go for Xperia TX...

Can someone give me a definition of a Phablet pls =.=
The last time, we have Dell Streak 5" display and we call it a "Phablet", now 5" seem to be "too small" to be called a Phablet :Phones these days increase in size so fast, i can't even know which Display size is the ideal one anymore =.=
