The world’s first see-through LCD screen phone has started shipping to eager beavers residing in the US. The Xperia Pureness was first launched in the UK for £530. When compared to the UK pricing, the handset is slightly overprised in the US, which is available for $990. But, for the extra money you pay in the US, the phone comes with an added concierge service. This service will allow access to lifestyle requests, such as finding details on specific social hotspots and events that might be happening anywhere (more…)

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.
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 (more…)

While SE confirmed the WM 6.5 based Xperia X2 recently putting the Android based Xperia rumors with a ‘?’, latest round of rumors suggest that the X3 would be outed in Jan 2010. This might be around the same time as the X2 hits the shelf’s.
Leaked shots of the X3 suggest that it would be a full touchscreen Android with no physical QWERTY (much like the Nokia X6). We have already seen a couple of leaked shots for the X3 along with rumored specs. With Android becoming a crowded space, Sony Ericsson would certainly like to come out with its own offering asap.

After several rumours swirling around the unannounced Xperia handsets, there is some confirmation from Sony Ericsson on the Xperia X2. This handset will launch with the upcoming Windows Mobile 6.5 and feature the same structure as the X1 (the shape however looks like the Nokia X6 with a slideout keyboard). The feature set is something standard for any good smartphone today, with 3.2″ touchscreen, AGPS / Google Maps, WiFi / Bluetooth, 8.1MP autofocus camera, accelerometer, TV-out and the like. The internal memory is disappointing at 110MB, making you rely on the Micro SDHC slot that can bring in another 16GB of space. The X2 will debut sometime in Q4 2009, and will go head-on with the Nokia X series and the Maemo-powered N900.
Probably the most “exciting” part is the US$1000 pricing that Sony Ericsson simply loves. Right from the P900 to the the Xperia X1, the one reason I never used couldn’t buy a Sony Ericsson is the handset exquisitely high pricing! We are still waiting for the X3, aka the “Rachel” powered by Android OS.
Running to losses and facing stiff competition from HTC, Apple, Nokia and others, Sony Ericsson better gets its calculations in the smartphone market right this time. Making a Windows Mobile phone (which fails to excite too many potential customers today) and pricing it at US$1000 when (more…)

The tech world has just about started talking about Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X2 and Xperia X3 smartphones when SE introduces the Xperia X5 concept. The very cool-looking X5 design undoubtedly beats any gadget or concept in existence for a mobile phone.
This concept was created by a designer who calls himself Tob!s. Features of the beautiful Xperia X5 include a futuristic slide-out QWERTY keyboard, the Android OS, a 12 Mp camera, and HD video recording viewable on a 3.5″ touchscreen. When considering any Xperia successor a year from now, the features look quite obvious. The designer also created the phone in three different colors – Chrome Silver, Ocean Blue and Sunny Orange.
Tob!s (the designer) truly has kept the SE design and innovative style in mind while developing this concept. Anyways, for now keep an eager eye out for the Xperia X2 (expected to go live real soon).

Xperia 1 has not been the best of devices and Windows Mobile certainly hasn’t helped Sony Ericsson do anything spectacular. Our friend @Farrhad using a Xperia X1 appears extremely frustrated with the slow and sticky OS. A leaked picture of the upcoming Xperia 2 has leaked online.
We already know that HTC is no longer building the Xperia series for SE, however the Xperia X2 design looks pretty similar to Xperia 1. The LCD is visibly bigger though (I guess this would be a capacitive one). Hope WM 6.5 comes in with some life for Sony Ericsson (yes this will run on Windows Mobile, the buttons on the leaked image confirms that), though I anxiously await the Android 2.0 powered SE smartphone.

Thank god this one is not another iPhone competing Touch device. Afterall someone decided to leave alone Apple and go after Nokia. The Samsung INNOV8 aka i8510 is said to be a Nokia N96 killer. Powered with a 8MP camera, slideout Keypad, 2.8″ Screen, GPS, 16gig internal memory, WiFi, Powered by Symbian S60 and more; WOW! This one surely gives Nokia a run for its money.

Sony Ericsson Xperia is expected to be the savior for Sony Ericsson much like the Alexander is expected for Motorola. But the Xperia X1 launch seems to be toubled. Stated to be SE’s firsts Windows Mobile (being manufactuered by HTC) the X1 could rescue SE into the highly competitive smartphone market.
But news is coming out that Sony Ericsson is facing trouble with Windows Mobile 6.1 that is powering the Xperia. As seen in the demo video earlier, the Xperia X1 has a customized home screen which differentiates it form conventional WM smartphones.
Multiple demo units at IFA have either crashed or failed entirely, according to the report.
