Sony outs SIM free Xperia Z1

So you want an Xperia Z1, but don't want to sign a contract? Not a problem, Sony's got your back. They've released an unlocked version of their popular Z1 handset that fully supports US LTE speeds on both T-Mobile and AT&T's networks. It should also function just fine on Canadian LTE networks as well, if you're planning on spending some time (or if you live) in the great, white North. How much does the no-strings-attached model of Sony's high-end smartphone cost? A lot: $620. This price seems very high, especially when you consider that the model debuted in September 2013. The fact that Sony is offering the phone unlocked, however, is indicative of a trend that the company has been making recently towards openness. They've released the code for the software kernels on previous phones, making it easier for Android tinkerers to play around with their devices and customize them as they see fit. It makes sense for them to do so: one of the biggest ...
