If you cant wait any longer for the us version of sony xperia here is a bit more info to hold you over. the guys a wmexperts found some intresting info looks like it will keep the front facing camera . Even though att and tomobile usa dont support video calls. Hope fully it will work with 3rd party apps like qik
