Sony's upcoming ST26i smartphone could hit the market under Xperia J name

[![Sony's upcoming ST26i smartphone rumored to hit the market under Xperia J name][1] ][2]

As is often the case, once you make your first [unannounced, unexpected][3] appearance, more are likely soon to follow -- and that's what's happening with [Sony's][4] forthcoming slab, the codenamed ST26i. Unlike last time we saw it in most of its glory, though, now it's only showing up in full text mode, revealing what could be its official moniker once it finally launches. According to a leaked doc acquired by the folks from _Xperia Blog_, Sony's purported 4-inch handset could snatch up the Xperia J nametag after making the transition from the more subtle and discrete ST26i title. Unfortunately, no other fruitful details were revealed in the process, but something tells us now it's only a matter of time before this [ICS-filled][5] Xperia J gets past its rumor phase and becomes something more concrete.
