Sony Xperia ion available for pre-order

A couple of weeks ago, Sony announced the Xperia ion for AT&T at CES with a vague release date of spring 2012. Well, there’s a chance that we get to see the device before then. Some websites have already started putting up the phone for pre-order, unlocked and off-contract. If you want to put money down for the phone before it goes on sale, Negri Electronics is offering the phone for $569.50 and Celhut has it priced at $799.99.

Since we don’t have an official price and a shipping date for the phone, it’s kind of a gamble but there’s a chance that you’ll be getting the phone earlier and at a cheaper price – not to mention, you won’t be tied down to a contract. But I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Anybody interested in pre-ordering the Xperia ion today?
