James Bond’s own Sony Xperia TL will hit AT&T’s shelves on November 2nd for $99. The phone, which is featured in the newest Bond flick Skyfall, gives you plenty for your dollar with a 4.6-inch 720p display, 13MP camera, dual-core processor and NFC capabilities. Apparently it’s the perfect compliment of specs for performing spy reconnaissance and taking down evil villains.
The Xperia TL is a variant of the Xperia T announced in September at IFA. The additional L means the phone is privy to AT&T’s 4G LTE network. The Xperia TL ships with Ice Cream Sandwich but Sony has already promised a Jelly Bean update for the future.
