Rumor has it AT&T will be launching the Sony Xperia TL smartphone soon.The Xperia T series of phones was announced a few months ago, but few details were shared. We now know this latest Sony phone will feature Near Field Communication (NFC) but not LTE wireless.

The best feature of the Xperia TL smartphone is the 4.55-in HD display (1080 x 720 pixels). The high quality, 13 megapixels primary camera is a close second. And with NFC, users will be able to transfer data and images with a touch to other NFC-ready devices. (Think of the Samsung Galaxy commercials that have been floating around - the ones taunting the Apple users waiting in line for the new iPhone. Just a touch of the phones and data is passed back and forth!) The Xperia comes with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and runs Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) which will hopefully be upgradeable to Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) after launch. While an actual launch date has yet to be announced, the Xperia TL is featured in the upcoming James Bond film, so expect a launch date to coincide with the movie release (Nov. 9).
