Sony Ericsson Trademarks Xperia ION in the US

One of the handsets that Sony Ericsson might soon bring to the market in the United States would be Xperia ION, since the company has just filed trademark for the name.


The filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office shows that this device will be a mobile phone, though it does not offer specific info on what it will include.

The trademark application was filed on December 13th, with serial number 85493863. It is similar to the one filed for handsets like the Xperia PLAY or Xperia arc.

Basically, this means that a new Sony Ericsson smartphone should arrive on shelves in the United States soon.

While no specific info on the device emerged, chances are that it might be one of the recently leaked handsets from the company, such as the Sony Ericsson LT28at, which received Bluetooth certification only several days ago.
