Don’t say we haven’t “told you so.” Canada’s Rogers Wireless is now officially selling the Sony Xperia ion, asking $49.99 for the device on a three-year contract. Sans any long-term commitments, the price is $549.99, and there are also not-that-affordable one- and two-year contract options, costing $499.99 and $449.99, respectively.
Again, the Xperia ion is the best Android smartphone ever made by the Japanese giant. It rocks a 4.6-inch 720p screen, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, awesome 12-megapixel Sony Exmor R camera on the back, 3G/4G (LTE) and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS, Bluetooth, 16GB of built-in memory and a microSD card slot. Android 2.3 Gingerbread is (still) running the show, with the Ice Cream Sandwich update (and perhaps Jelly Bean) coming later in the year.
You can check out the Sony Xperia ion from this page at Rogers’ website.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
