Already released by Verizon Wireless (in May), the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is now making its way to AT&T as well. Of course, we already knew that it’s coming, but we didn’t know when. Well, the second largest US carrier has announced that its Xperia Play would be available starting September 18 – just like the Huawei Impulse 4G.

Since the new smartphone is HSPA+ capable, AT&T added “4G” to its name. The Xperia Play 4G comes in a midnight blue shade, and features Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread, a 4 inch display with 854 x 480 pixels, PSP-styled keyboard, PlayStation games, 1GHz processor, 5MP rear camera, and front-facing camera.
AT&T will ask only $49.99 for the Xperia Play 4G (new 2-yr contract agreement required) – that’s $50 less than what Verizon is asking for its Xperia Play.

Like all the other Xperua smartphones released this year, the Xperia Play will be updated to Android Ice Cream Sandwich after this is launched.
