It definetly gonna be IMO at that screen resolution & specs it should launch around 16K max because of it's durability features..

My phone is Acro S .. long waiting for this type of phone.. well it looks great at first glance
let's see.. If it performs well, then Finally I got my phone.. will buy as soon as it is launched.. I believe it is gonna be in July.. Acro S is Hayabusa which was rumored to be launched in July

Acro S is not Hayabusa. Acro S is just the International version of Acro Hd that has been on sale in Japan since March.

Xperia U is a dual core well below 20K from Sony... dont see any reason y Xperia Go wont be. :)
And they will be available from some time in Q3... according to GSMArena.

I am saying July and this is possible to be hayabusa is because sony roadmap leaked while ago and it showed similar type of phone to be released in July.. which was said to be hayabusa..

Xperia Acro S isn't mentioned in the roadmap. Hayabusa is LT29i, Acro S is LT26w

From the roadmap it does seem possible for the Arco S to be Hayabusa. I mean the price range matches. (though seems overpriced for an old chipset)
July is starting of Q3.. so may be ur right :). And i guess Atlas is Go?!

Are you kidding me?
Anything above 17k is not worth at all.
Xperia Go is toned-down version of Xperia Sola with water-proof feature.
