We already reported yesterday that Sony Xperia tipo is about to make its debut in the UK via Orange and O2 carriers. Today, the smartphone has just gone live and is available for pre-order.

Major retailer Carphone Warehouse is now offering the Xperia tipo for free on plans from 10.50 GBP per month. The smartphone can also be purchased on PAYG (pay as you go) for 90 GBP (140 USD/115 EUR) outright. Check it out here.

However, keep in mind that those who pre-order the Xperia tipo will receive their devices around August 8.

There’s also an interesting prize offered by Sony and Carphone Warehouse to those who purchase an Xperia smartphone. More details are available here.

Sony Xperia tipo is a budget-friendly smartphone powered by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The phone packs an 800 MHz single-core processor and 512MB of RAM.
