@Big D,
T-Mobile USA uses "4G" being HSPA ... they don't own LTE license do they? Either way the bands for HSPA on T-Mobile USA is different than AT&T's so you're better off getting the Xperia S.
despite the LTE, would the Ion 4G be used when on the T-mobile USA network, or revert back to 3G?
btw, what is the T-Mobile USA network 4G bands?
The T-Mobile 3G/4G bands in the US are 1700/1900MHz. T-Mobile uses HSDP+. They do not have LTE 4G.
So I wouldn't get any 4G speed? stuck with 3G if I use the phone on T-mobile USA?
T-mobile USA network.

bigD.. that's right.. no 4G for you... besides, the ion has non-removable battery.. i thought you weren't interested in any phone with embedded battery?

No, you'll have 2G. The ion doesn't support 1700 for HSPA, and T-Mobile doesn't use 1900 for HSPA. Once T-Mobile's roaming agreement with AT&T for 850/1900 HSPA is active, however, you will then have access to HSPA on "T-Mobile". |

They had to move it all the way to the top of the phone so the stupid AT&T logo would fit on the top.
On the XPERIA S the speaker is clearly visible by the SONY logo. |

It looks like that the ION and XPERIA S will have better viewing angles than last year XPERIA phones

The XPERIA ION can be preordered for $569.50 unlocked.
Not expensive for an LTE phone with a large screen. |

Is this likely to be the same for the Xperia S too?
EDIT:
