Sony's rugged Xperia advance arrives in the U.S.

If you're a real butterfingers, Sony's Xperia advance smartphone could be just what the doctor ordered. Both water and dust resistant, Sony will begin selling the unlocked Xperia advance for $300 to U.S. customers today.


If the Xperia advance looks familiar, that's because it should. The device is essentially the re-branded Xperia Go global handset sold overseas. Be advised though that despite its name, the Xperia advance features anything but the latest and greatest components money can buy. Powered by a 1GHz dual-core NovaThor processor, 512MB of RAM, and running creaky Android 2.3 Gingerbread software, I doubt this phone will blow anyone away with its horsepower. It's certainly no Xperia TL, Sony's latest carrier-sanctioned American device and the official Bond phone of 2012.
