It's not unusual for a device to be sold under a couple of different names for the purposes of carrier branding, or to distinguish a global GSM model from its US bound LTE sibling. Sony seems to be trying for a record though, with the Xperia T adding a fourth rebranding. The company's latest flagship is landing on AT&T here in the US as the Xperia TL. At an event today in NYC the carrier broke out the curved 4.6-inch LTE Android device and we took the opportunity to give it yet another chance to impress us, after falling short of "wow" it's first few times around the block.
Back at IFA 2012, when we first got up close and personal with Sony's latest flagship, we were left feeling rather unimpressed and things haven't changed. The fit and finish of the TL just doesn't live up to the big boy breeches of its high-end ilk. Yes, it feels good in the hand, owed in part to that matte plastic back and subtle arc S-like curve, but the materials feel cheap. Thankfully, that sentiment doesn't spill over into its performance, as the 1.5GHz dual-core S4 powering the device does an admirable job keeping navigation brisk.
With a 720p HD Reality display powered by the outfit's Mobile BRAVIA Engine, you'd expect superb readability from the handset, especially in the dim light of this event. Though colors on the panel are bright and viewing angles seem to hold up fairly well, we did take issue with its overall brightness. Even pumped up to max, the screen just seemed a bit too dark for our tastes.
As with all things carrier-branded, this one lands with a host of AT&T apps onboard alongside three of Sony's own like Media, Album and Walkman. The build of Android on the device is still Ice Cream Sandwich with a light skin, but we were assured an upgrade to Jelly Bean is forthcoming and, given the company's track record, we're inclined to believe it. This official Bond Android phone's targeted for a holiday season release, so sit tight if you want to go all in on this Xperia. Check out the brief video tour after the break.

A self-admitted football fanatic, Dr. Barry Urness is likely best known in Kelowna for founding the Okanagan Sun.
Still, as profound an effect as Urness had on the junior football club, his volunteer work in the community at large over three-plus decades reached well beyond the gridiron.
Former CHBC sportscaster Pat Kennedy first met Urness in 1981 and has marveled at his contributions to the City of Kelowna ever since.
"Barry was deeply involved in so many aspects of the community and he was so passionate about everything he did," said Kennedy. "His positive effects on the various committees, and groups and people were far-reaching. At the same time, he was humble and didn't want the accolades. Anyone who has lived here can be grateful for what Barry has done for Kelowna."
Urness passed away last Thursday after a battle with cancer. He was 69.
Lawrence Nagy first met Urness in the 1970s when Nagy was playing football at Immaculata.
The two would form a lifelong friendship, and in 1988 would be indelibly tied together in local sports history when the Sun won the Canadian junior football championship. Urness was the team president and Nagy, the head coach.
"Barry was passionate, he was a tireless worker and he didn't like the limelight," said Nagy, the head coach of the Sun when the club won national championships in 1988 and 2000.
"Barry's passion wasn't really about winning championships, it was more important to build things up from nothing, and to see other people benefit and have success from the work he did. If there was something you needed done, he was the guy to call. Barry was one of a kind."
Nagy credits Urness's guidance and hard work as the main catalyst behind the Sun's first Canadian junior football title.
Urness, who founded the club, then served as the team's first president in 1981 and 1982, returned to the post in 1988.
"When he came back on board he really made things possible for us," said Nagy. "I really believe he was the man behind that championship."
Urness also helped to resurrect high school football in the Central Okanagan, served as president of the Kelowna Amatuer Sports Society for 10 years, and served on the Kelowna Civic Awards Committee for 25 years.
In 2008, he founded the Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame Museum.
Earlier this month, Urness was inducted into the C.O. Hall of Fame in the special recognition category.
Pat Kennedy, the current managing director of the COSHF, said Urness was a true visionary.
"Through all the years what strikes me is that he had great vision," said Kennedy. "He would bring people on board, like Mayor Walter Gray, and they would immediately buy into what Barry was doing. Barry's biggest asset was gathering people and leading them, and that's why he got things done."
Urness was also a renowned and loyal Saskatchewan Roughrider football fan. His brother, Ted Urness, played for the Riders from 1961 to 1970.
In addition to his involvement with sports teams and organizations, Urness was involved in many other civic and community endeavors, including serving as provincial director of the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, and being the honourary chairman for the first two phases of the Mission Creek Greenway project.
Dr. Urness was also recognized by the Government of Canada with a Commemorative Medallion in honour of the 125th anniversary of Confederation.
Urness is survived by his wife Betty, sons David and Dean, and five?grandchildren.
A memorial service for Barry Urness will be held Wednesday, July 4 at 2 p.m. at Trinity Baptist Church.

The secret to good health lies in the food that we eat. Healthy foods serve as a source for many essential nutrients. They protect the human body from different diseases and illness like cancer. Let us take a look at some of the important healthy foods that should form an integral part of your diet.
?
Opt for foods that are organically grown as they are better for your health.
Natural foods are better than canned and processed foods any day.
A microwave TV dinner maybe convenient, but it is not healthy.
Meat is tasty and a good source of protein, but do remember to include vegetables and fruits in your diet too. When eating meat, opt for white meat such as chicken and fish over red meat.
In addition to fruits and vegetables, add some nuts, seeds, whole grains, spices, and herbs to your cuisine.
These will not only make your food tastier, but also ensure that all your nutritional requirements are met.
Opt for non-starchy vegetables like carrots, spinach, green beans, or broccoli when you are out buying vegetables.
When it comes to grains, whole grains are better than processed grains any day. Instead of rice or pasta made from refined flour, opt for brown rice or whole wheat pastas. Whole grain breads are also better than white bread.
Just because a loaf of bread is brown in color does not mean it?s made from whole grains.
Check the ingredients and if you see any mention of refined flour there, it?s time to pick another loaf.
Incorporate turkey and chicken in your daily meals. Try to eat fish twice or thrice a week. Remember to de-skin the turkey or chicken before cooking it.
If you can?t do without red meat occasionally, opt for lean cuts of beef or pork.
Dairy is good for you, but it can also make you fat. Consume non or low fat dairy products like skimmed milk, or low fat yogurt and cheese.
Use liquid oils when cooking instead of solid fats. Mustard and olive oil are good choices.
Drink as much water as you can as it is the best cleanser for your body. Also opt for natural fruit and vegetable juices over sodas and other empty calorie drinks.
Spices and herbs are considered to be great antioxidants. Most of them are known to enhance metabolism, ability to burn the fat, prove out to be very effective in treating gastric and digestive disorders and also help with insomnia. Here are some healthy herbs that you can opt for:
? Ginger
? Mustard
? Cinnamon
? Allspice
? Peppermint
? Horseradish
? Garlic
? Turmeric
? Cumin
? Fennel
? Oregano
? Chili Powder
? Curry powder
? Paprika
