What do you think, does it going to be a no US version of the ION, or maybe some different design with similar spec for the rest of the world?

So by the sounds of things
will be ensuring the 2011 Xperias will be receiving ICS
before the new phones arrive which is a great and wise move.
Very nice looking device and it wouldn't surprise me if another version found it's way outside the US.

So in the video it looks like its a Sony Ericsson Ion. Notice the Xperia below the display while the photos say Sony. And the only time we see the real phone its held a weird way that covers the part above the screen.
