We now have the Sony Xperia U (black) in stock and will begin shipping outstanding orders tomorrow. The U is the smallest sibling of the Sony NXT series, making use of the range’s Iconic Identity to conform with the design of the larger Xperia P and Xperia S handsets.

Hi David,
I’ve just put this post live.

The long and short of it is that the U is not compatible with a USB hosting cable, but USB hosting can be achieved using Sony’s LiveDock.
