Awesome news! Gracias.
Dacha ... this is an AT&T exclusive for a few months at launch - a USA provider.
That is exactly what I wrote. The Ion got announced in February and it is still not available for AT&T while the HTC One X will be on sale in a few days. By the way I am an ATT costumer.
Now there are rumors that the Ion is not coming to AT&T at all, but instead AT&T will get the Hayabusa in Q3.
Dacha, that is NOT what you wrote - not even by inference - see the quote above.
Yes we know its exclusive to AT&T ... things change ... and to be honest I'd rather a slight change: 3 buttons vs 4, and a smooth & flush 3.5mm jack.
Still I'd like to see this really do well spec and most importantly performance wise. I honestly don't think the majority of global Android users give Sony good credit; ICS looks very similar to what SE has been doing all along to Android.

Just received my ION from en ebay seller shipped to France.
First thing I checked were the bands/networks and
IT HAS GOT LTE 
Check the screenshot
In the box: well quite empty with only the fast charger, no smart tags and no hdmi cable.
The phone has a premium feel due to the metal back, I find it less "angular" than the Xperia S, so more hand friendly.
More to come as I spend some time with it.

Do you think it is a software thing?

No LTE in France to test!

Ion has a premium feel compared to my more plasticky Xperia S
On the software side seems like the Gingerbread version is a real old one...
Not present are:
- 3D Album app
- 3D camera app
- stopwatch
- timer
- world clock
- themes do not include live wallpapers, "cosmic flow" static images
The screen colors are more saturated than those of xperia S
Here are some comparison shots at maximum brightness (which is on par with the S)

Design wise X S is better for me, Ion looks like any other Moto or HTC....

Currently, there are 3 versions of Xperia ion AT&T (LT28at),
Xperia ion LTE (LT28i) and Xperia ion HSPA (LT28h). We here in Hong Kong has the i version despite it is the wrong frequency for LTE to work, the maximum speed we get will be 21Mbps. Singapore has the h version, but the speed is up to 42Mbps!

Um, that would seem odd. If I'm not mistaken or if GSMArena's data is not mistaken, the Xperia Ion should support ALL 3 LTE bands (700/1700/2100Mhz) and thus should be capable of the full data speeds supported by the network, no? Also the "H" version you speak of (nothing exists in LTE called "H") most likely refers to the Dual-Band HSPA+; as mentioned by the 42Mbps data speeds.
Man I feel old: I recall using an
T39m with 52Kbps data speeds (that's Kilobits) and thinking THAT was fast - 16greyscale screen.
Can anyone confirm the official Android 4 release for Ion date, and what new "REAL" world features it'll bring?
