Default Importing the Xperia S

Hi all, for those in North America that cannot wait for the release date here have you had any interest in importing this phone from another country that has it already available?

If so, which one and are there any downfalls?
I'm wondering if this phone will work here if it's from another region, being unlocked.
Also cheapest region to import?

DONATE TO ME
I just bought one from a seller on ebay for $679 shipped (2 biz days fedex) and seems to be pretty legit. We will see.

I preordered from Handtec in UK and is supposed to ship next week. It's a little less than $600 shipped to US with a few gifts included (http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php...locked--black-)

Bad news guys, they didn't have the Xperia S.
They guy at the phone store screwed up, he thought I was referring to the Xperia Arc S... goddammit.

Why does Sony release the Arc S now in Canada? Nobody cares, we want the S.
Looks like I'll have to import elsewhere.
