It seems that for now,Sony will not bring it to US.And I think that if it were to come,you will find it at T-Mobile.

Tell me why?! Galaxy mini and HTC One Mini are here and one of the most promising compact phones is mising. I know that some people buy phones here and brign them to Europe, because they are cheaper here. Do I have to ask friends to buy an Xperia phone and ship it to USA?

On XDA, some guys in USA are reporting they are buying from Clove UK.

Looks like a decent price and you get a free dock too.

I live in the US as well. From what I've read, it looks like the reason Sony doens't release it here is because the US market is so dominated by Samsung and iPhone that they would never be able to sell enough to make bringing it here and advertising it worth it. I bought mine new from a reliable Ebay seller. Works great with AT&T. 

If you want one, I don't think there is much reason to wait. Hop on Ebay or Clove.
