As this is Oscar week, we will just start this post with an instance from Jerry Maguire in which football star Rod Tidwell tells his agent Jerry Maguireto shut up and “show him the money!” Well, we can understand how he felt after hearing Sony Ericsson make YET another comment about the Xperia X10. We first heard of the Android-driven device in early November when we were told it would be available in Q1 2010. At the recent MWC in Barcelona, we were shown Mini and Mini Pro versions of the device and told it would be coming a bit later.
And NOW we have a Sony Ericsson spokesperson telling CNET that it could come in the second half of the year with a new version of Android. Honestly, we were very impressed by the specs of the X10 (a 8.1 MP shooter, 4.0 inch touchscreen, and every connectivity option in town) but the inordinate delay in its arrival is really making us wonder if like the original Xperia, it would be actually outdated by the time it arrived. It must be one of the few smartphones in cellphone history to have three different avatars, none of which happen to be in the market.
So allow us to paraphrase Rod Tidwell and say, “Enough talk, Sony E. Show us the X10 in the market. Please!”

The Sony Ericsson flagship model Xperia X10 is now available for pre-order on Play.com. If the release date on Play.com is to be believed, X10 will now be available from 18 Jan 2010 which is a month prior to the rumored Feb 2010 release. Yet once again, SE disappoints us by another over-prised handset. The Xperia X10 can be pre-ordered for £529.99 (about $880) which is the same as reported by us previously. X10 is SE’s first handset powered by Andoid OS and features a 1Ghz Snapdragon processor. Also a custom UI, 4.0″ screen & 8.1 MP camera, more here.

Just before the Xperia X10 went official we ended with a cry “don’t over price it please!” and our worst fears come true. Gizmodo reports that the Xperia X10 is priced at $880 by Sony Ericsson.
Whenever SE comes up with a good touchscreen, they over price is to such an extent that it automatically puts the competition several steps ahead. Except the P990i I don’t remember any other touchscreen offering from them retailing below Rs 15000 in India. While I am disappointed, even the HTC HD was priced similarly in India when launched and we can expect similar from the HD2, some how the iPhone in India looks reasonably priced to me now!

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.

Until now, we have had enough gossip about the Sony Ericsson’s Android phone that just kept changing names every time a new rumor surfaced. But this time is the first there has been some move from SE giving some proof of the handset becoming official soon. SE may call it another Xperia (X3, X5 or X10) or the Rachael project, but for now we’re going to refer it as Rachael.
Sony Ericsson has leaked an official sales brochure of this, its (more…)
