Keen to get your hands on the Xperia S? Well MobiCity, along with other online retailers, have confirmed that they’ll be receiving and shipping out stock from the 6th of March. The time between the announcement of the device at CES and a launch on March 6th is a stark contrast to the 6 months or so it took Sony Ericsson to launch the Xperia X10 back in the day. The starting price is $699 a pop with free delivery (insured. tracked.), though you can be sure to see a price drop a few weeks after launch when other big named devices like the HTC One series hit the market.

Our own Irwin Proud will be reviewing the Xperia S as soon as he gets his hands on the one he purchased. As a person looking at buying the Xperia S, I’ll be keen to read that review.
