Sony registers Xperia Sola trademark, new phone in the works?

So with Sony dropping the Ericsson moniker from their brand name, we bet there are many of you guys out there just curious as to what the company will be rolling out in terms of Android smartphones, right? Well interestingly Sony has filed a trademark with the USPTO for the name “Xperia Sola”, which after translation seems to point towards the meaning of “one”, “alone” or “only”.

Apart from the name, little to nothing is known about the device. Could it be making an appearance at MWC 2012 which will be held towards the end of the month? Well some are speculating that perhaps the Xperia Sola will be the rebranding of Sony’s upcoming Xperia S which debuted at CES earlier this year, while some think that perhaps this might be a new device entirely. What do you guys think? Either way with MWC 2012 closing upon us, we guess we don’t have to wait too long to find out whether the Xperia Sola is a rebranded Xperia S, or if it will be an exciting new device that Sony has in store for us.
