The item as described, claims to be an LT28i, but none of the sellers that are using Amazon to fulfill the item are actually selling an LT28i. What is being shipped is a left over AT&T phone that is an older model and the package is being opened so that the phone can be unlocked. The phone is then being put back into the same AT&T packaging and then sent as a NEW Factory Unlocked LT28i. The box even has a sticker that is not factory but then states that the item is a new LT28i. The factory seals are broken and all of the paperwork with the phone even states that it is an LT28at and the AT&T logo is still on the phone. For those not in the know the LT28at was made specifically for AT&T for sale in the US and uses the frequency bands for their coverage. A LT28i has a different frequency that should, according to other reviewers, allow it to also work on US's T-mobile and other carriers 3G frequencies in some parts of the world. Just by unlocking it (even if it was done at the factory which I doubt) does not change the radio receivers hardware used to send and receive calls and data.
I suspected that this might be the case as some reviewers were stating that they were receiving an AT&T phone so I sent e-mails to five sellers who were offering this phone close to or just below the three hundred dollar amount, asking if this was actually an LT28i, or an LT28h or an LT28at (all have some frequency differences, and I stated that I wanted a LT28i) and most of them are also listed as using Amazon to fulfill the order. I received a reply from one of them stating that they knew the phone was an unlocked LT28at AT&T phone.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Phone July 6, 2012
What's great about it: Great price with upgrade on AT&T.
What's not so great: lack of Android 4.0

This is a very sold performing phone. Yes, it does not have Android 4.0. I have that on my tablet. Is it a deal breaker? Nope. This is a great phone. The keys on the bottom do take half a day to get used to compared to my previous Android phones. On my old Android phones, I would accidentally hit the back key or the home key, not on this phone. Being a decently heavy data user, I get a solid day of battery. I bought the Sony NFC tags and they are cool too. The only negative that I have seen so far with this phone, is lack of accessories. Having no Otterbox is rough, but I'm trying the Dualtekk case and it has already survived a few drops on concrete, (not on purpose.)
The screen is beautiful. I can quickly show many of my pictures from my SD card on the fly. Expandable memory, nothing else to say on that. The camera takes great pics for family fun. The phone is fast with no lags. It pairs very easily with my Motorola S10 Bluetooth headphones. Speakerphone works fine, but I hate using speakerphone on anything. The deciding factor was price. I did the research and wanted a solid phone, but didn't want to pay $200 plus to have a phone and new accessories. Had AT&T upgrade, way cheaper. Phone is worth $550 easily.
I would recommend this phone to anyone.
PROS: battery, screen, metal back, dual core, speed
CONS: no Otterbox case, few accessories
This product is... Easy to use keypad/keyboard, Good call quality, Lightning fast, Tough/durable, Great picture quality, Good video quality
About me... Heavy apps user, My phone is my life, Budget conscious, Business professional, Need phone to keep me organized
I would recommend this to a friend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Phone July 2, 2012
By B.Miner
So, you may have heard that there are some new phones with quad-core processors. Now, those quad-core isn't really necessary yet for smart phones. There aren't really any apps that are optimized for a quad-core so its very pointless. Fortunately, the Xperia Ion has a dual-core processor that is still more than needed for a phone. So, it still has a reasonable battery life and a processor with incredible performance. Also this phone has a 12 mega pixel camera which is quite a bit more than the recent 8 mega pixels for phones lately. It can take panorama shots, 3d panorama shots so you can see it in 3d on a 3d tv or monitor, videos, and regular shots. It can take videos in full HD (1080p). Whats also really cool about this phone is the FM radio. When you plug in earphones, it uses the cord as the antenna. Also, what is great is the cellular connectivity. I have the regular at&t (not unlocked version) phone with 2g, 3g, 4g, 4g LTE. And when you get LTE, it is incredibly fast. As fast as a nice WiFi connection at your home. There are also many more wonderful things about this phone. Just take a look at this website: [...]

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Phone July 9, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I just got this phone as a replacement for my xperia x10 a few days ago and it is great. It came as described new in box with everything. There was no hassle with seller and he seemed more reliable than other sellers with under 30 reviews.

Pros
dual core 1.5 ghz cpu
large HD 4.6 in screen
Light sleek design
great Exmor 12 mp camera

Phone lasts about a day and a half to two days with moderate use

Cons
Still on gingerbread 2.3.7
Bottom keys below the screen are not as responsive as I would like ( probably since I'm used to the x10 button keys) nothing to big
PSM or Playstation Play Is not supported yet might be because this is the international version and I'm using T mobile in California or its still too new?
*** Uses Micro Sim I had to change my sim to micro ***
