Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 now Official

SEX10

The most anticipated Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 has been officially announced by SE today. The phone packs all the rumored and speculated features we saw till now along with some new amazing features. The Android-powered SE X10 features a 4” touchscreen, 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 8.1 MP camera and the Rachael UI. The design of the phone is the same as we saw in the leaked out pics. But the way SE has presented it in the introductory video, it just looks more stylish, sleek and curvy.

Xperia X10 plays the Android version 1.6, highlighting to us the importance of the Verizon – Google partnership blessing the Motorola Droid with Android Eclair (V2.0) or the Rachael UI / customization costing Sony Ericsson the opportunity to upgrade. However the phone introduces Timescape, a multi-platform social networking integration that brings Facebook, Twitter, emails, photos, and text messages all in a single application. Another new feature is the Mediascape, where you’re able to access media from everywhere, be it online or on the phone – with PlayNow, YouTube, or your phone memory. The face recognition feature recognises as many as five faces in a photo and automatically tags them with the contact information. This feature also allows you to directly call your tagged friends by tapping on their face in the picture.

Sony Ericsson is also planning to launch a line of Rachael UI devices with the Xperia X10 being the flagship model. The Rachael UI would be expanded to other platforms such as Symbian and Windows Mobile. The Rachael-powered handsets are expected to hit the market somewhere in 2010. (We already know about the Xperia X2 running WM)

One thing both the Droid and the Xperia X10 lack is multi-touch, and this is where the iPhone and the Palm Pre score for me. Would be interesting with the rumors that Droid has a multitouch version in works, and the HTC Hero also getting the Android 2.0 love soon :)

Sony Ericsson hasn’t release any information on the pricing and availability of the Xperia X10, and we are all a tad disappointed. But we surely expect SE to release that information soon. Sony Ericsson needs a big comeback in the smartphone market. Will Xperia X10 help Sony Ericsson to bounce back? Tell us in the comments.
