    Incorrect.

    The TZ160 does have the SPRINT, but the only difference between it and the TZ170 is the fact that it doesn't have the built in webcam.

    Are you sure about that? I've read numerous places, it's the WWAN that the 160 is missing.

    I know that the TZ130 is similar to the TZ150 but lacks WWAN and the camera. I think the TZ160 retains the camera but loses the WWAN.

    One of the early "Vaio Professional" brochures lists both the camer/mic and WWAN as optional... so it could be either. :)
