After spending time frolicking around the UK and Asia, Sony's flagship Xperia Z will finally get its first launch in the US.

Sony CEO Kaz Hirai confirmed in May that the Xperia Z would launch in the US in the coming weeks, but he did not give specific information on pricing, carriers or exact availability. However, T-Mobile announced on Monday that it will exclusively sell the high-end, rough-and-tough Android smartphone.

The Xperia Z, which originally unveiled at CES in January, is Sony's latest flagship smartphone, and offers a 1080p display, 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor, 13-megapixel camera with HDR video, and a water-resistant coating.

It will arrive on T-Mobile "in the coming weeks" (there's that phrase again). The US carrier also has a webpage set up that further claims the Xperia Z "is almost here".

T-Mobile will release the Xperia Z in a black model and a limited-edition purple model, and it will sell the smartphone through an instalment plan, although the carrier has not announced a down-payment price yet.
