O2 to Release XPERIA X10
Looks like the XPERIA X10 might be getting a release through O2 Mobile UK. Online, there is already space on the official O2 website for the upcoming Sony Ericsson smart phone. Despite the fact that it is still over a month before the device is expected to launch, it appears that mobile phone operators are eager to subsidize the mobile phone. Given that the Nexus One is available exclusively through Google’s online store, it makes sense that the next Snapdragon Android phone will be snapped up by operators.
Fans of the Google Android operating system may have been dismayed at the fact that the Google phone is so hard to acquire in the UK short of having the device shipped from the US at an additional cost of 30 Pounds. Having a device with similar specs that is available locally would certainly be much better.
The XPERIA X10 is powered by a Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon processor clocked at a speed of 1 GHz -expect to get fast loading speeds on this device. The screen is a 4 inch (diagonal) capacitive TFT touch screen with 65 thousand colors and a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels. It comes with an accelerometer for auto rotate and a proximity sensor (for voice calls so you can press it to your ear).
The phone will be using the new Timescape and Mediascape user interface along with the Android OS. The device will be powered by a 1500 mAh battery so expect to get plenty of hours of use on a full charge.
The X10 is expected to launch alongside the Sony Ericsson Vivaz (formerly SE Kurara), a Symbian smart phone with 720p HD video recording capability. It is not known if O2 will also be getting the Vivaz.
