'4G ready' Xperia Tablet Z hitting Vodafone UK for as little as 99

Two different data plan prices save you a good amount of money up-front

Vodafone UK just announced today that it will be carrying a cellular data-enabled version of Sony's latest tablet, the Xperia Tablet Z, in both black and white for 199 on a 28 per month data plan or 99 on a 32 plan. As a price comparison the 16GB Wifi-only model of the Tablet Z is currently retailing for 399, and those plans will get you a respectable1GBor 2GB of data per month to use on the glass-laden waterproof device. Just as a quick refresher, the Xperia Tablet Z is a 10.1-inch 1920x1080resolution tablet with a Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 2GB of RAM and both 8MP rear and 2.2MP front cameras.

The carrier hasn't yet flipped the switch on its LTE network -- hence the "4G ready" branding -- but the tablet will indeed support the upcoming network as soon as its available. Vodafone is making a strong effort to have customers on LTE devices in preparation for the upcoming network launch, but we're not sure how many people are going to bite on a tablet like this before the LTE network is ready with a relatively expensive plan.
