Introduction: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

Sony Ericsson has finally introduced the new Xperia X10, their first ever Google Android handset available in Q1 2010. The flagship phone is one in a family of phones coming to market during the first half of 2010. The newly developed UX platform builds on top of the Google Android Open OS and creates an unique Sony Ericsson user experience.

Sony Ericsson unveiled also some new applications called Mediascape and Timescape. Timescape manages all your communication with one person in one place. You will be able to browse through your conversations the bright way to check out your Facebook, Twitter, photos, emails, and texts all in one go. Mediascape is the smart way to get all the music, photos and videos you want from your favourite friends and artists. It accesses content from everywhere – your phone, YouTube, PlayNow – and presents everything for you.

The maker gave us an example of their services:

Pressing the new “infinite button” guides you through the connected world, aggregating all your interactions with one person into one view. Intelligent face recognition features recognise up to five faces in any picture, automatically connecting them with your social phonebook and all other related communications with that person.

The Xperia X10 supports GSM GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS HSPA 900/1700/2100 and UMTS HSPA 800/850/1900/2100 networks, has a 8.1 megapixel camera with autofocus, touchfocus, LED flash and high quality video recording. There is only a 262,144 colour TFT touchscreen of 4.0 inches using a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels (WVGA). Build-in A-GPS receiver together with Wisepilot serve the option of turn-by-turn navigation. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 (A2DP) are available for wireless connections.

The Google Android Donut, version 1.6 and 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 processor are key features of the device and will make sure you have the full Google Experience. It is unclear why Sony Ericsson didn’t state anything about version 2.0. We hope an upgrade is included when it goes on sale the beginning of next year.

Sony Ericsson is also introducing the new Wireless Stereo Headset with FM Radio – MW600. Featuring advanced Bluetooth technology and a built-in FM radio, MW600 lets you stream music to your headset in high fidelity through sound-enhancing ear-buds.
