Well, at least that's the marketing tie-in made possible by Sony's (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Sony/) corporate synergy. Regardless, the company's latest smartphone flagship has found a new stateside home on AT&T's 4G LTE network (http://www.engadget.com/tag/ATT/). The 4.6-inch device, unveiled at IFA 2012 (http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/29/sony-xperia-t-unveiled/), reps a 720p HD Reality display powered by Mobile BRAVIA Engine, 13-megapixel rear module capable of "sleep to snap" fast capture and runs a skinned build of Ice Cream Sandwich atop a dual-core 1.5GHz S4 CPU. It also comes loaded up with three of the Japanese outfit's media apps -- Walkman, Movies and Album -- a bevy of exclusive content (e.g. ringtones, wallpaper, etc.) from the next Bond film, Skyfall, and packs one SmartTag (http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/sonys-smarttags-and-smart-wireless-headset-pro-hands-on/) in the box for use with the handset's NFC chip. There's no official word on when this black beauty's set to hit retail shelves -- or pricing, for that matter. But if the imminent arrival of its galactic stablemates (http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/28/atandt-4g-lte-adds-galaxy-note-2-galaxy-tab-2-10-1-galaxy-express/) is any indication, expect to see it in "the coming weeks." Official PR after the break.
