After searching for threads and discussions for this device I kept coming up empty handed. I was able to get the device rooted.

Root was confirmed by root checker and everything seems to be working fine.
Now dont let the xperia comments throw you off. I was indeed able to get my device rooted using this method and best part is it only takes 30 seconds or so.
I usually dont try random tactics to obtain root but I figured since this method works on several ICS/JB devices I would give it a shot. Of course doing so would be done at your own risk. Nobody will be held responsible for any type of damage you may do. I can post screenshots of obtained root if anyone has any doubt of the validity of this method.
Now that there is an easy way to obtain root here is to hoping a custom recovery will follow soon
