Sony Xperia Tablet Z with LTE to hit NTT DoCoMo on March 22nd

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/07/sony-xperia-tablet-z-lte-ntt-docomo/)[Sony's](http://www.engadget.com/tag/sony/) major Mobile World Congress product reveal turned out to be the very same slate it had already taken the wraps off of [this past January in Japan](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/20/sony-xperia-tablet-z/): the [Xperia Tablet Z](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/25/sony-xperia-tablet-z/). Now that the 10-inch Android tablet's been officially announced for global availability, it's time for it to start trickling out to market and (surprise, surprise) Japan's getting first dibs. Starting March 9th, [NTT DoCoMo](http://www.engadget.com/tag/nttdocomo/) will begin accepting pre-orders for the LTE-enabled tablet (in black or white) with a general launch date set for March 22nd. There doesn't seem to be any indication of pricing as of yet, but we've seen figures that indicate this region-specific Xperia Tablet Z could retail for around ¥85,470 (about $900 USD). If you like what Sony's done with this [waterproof, Jelly Bean tablet](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/25/sony-xperia-tablet-z-preview/) and you live in the _Land of the Rising Sun_, well then you know what to do. For everyone else around the globe, there's always the vague promise of a Q2 launch to cling to.
