Americans wanting one of 2013's Sony flagships have had access to the Xperia ZL (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/10/sony-xperia-zl-review/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) for awhile (http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/25/sony-xperia-zl-goes-on-pre-order-for-us-customers-off-contract/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget), but they've had to chase down an importer if they wanted the glass-backed chic of the Xperia Z (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/20/sony-xperia-z-review/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget). Sony has quietly put that dilemma to rest by offering the Xperia Z through the US Sony Store. For $630, locals can get an unlocked version of the flagship in black, purple or white, albeit only with HSPA+ 3G for carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile; there's no LTE to be found. Those who do want 4G speeds won't have to pay a premium, however, when Sony is selling the LTE-equipped ZL for the same $630. While neither deal will be quite as tempting as subsidized phones at major carriers (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/01/sony-xperia-z-tmo-fcc/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget), those willing to pay full price for Sony gear can now afford to be a little picky.
