Sony doesn’t really have what we would consider great carrier relationships in the U.S. More often than not their flagship phones are sold unlocked only, with major operators sticking to “proven” vendors such as Samsung, LG, HTC and Apple. T-Mobile was one of the very few operators to offer Sony’s gear in America, and according…

Typo 2 adds physical QWERTY to your iPhone without making it look like BlackBerry
You may recall Ryan Seacrest’s Typo accessory that promised to made the iPhone look like a BlackBerry.
