Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo up for pre-order in Germany

Sony Ericsson phones have been known to release in Europe before the rest of the world, and their Xperia Neo phone is no exception. The upcoming Android phone has been spotted for pre-order on a  German phone retailer’s website. Though a release date hasn’t been confirmed (Sony Ericsson has mentioned March and late Q2 as possible dates), we now have a price on the handset. It will retail for about $480 (€346) though some retailers have it for cheaper. Not a bad price considering you get a Snapdragon-powered phone that runs Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), an 8 megapixel rear camera with Exmor-R technology, a reality display, and HDMI output. Head here to check out the device that’s up for pre-order.
