Seems like Sony Ericsson wants to cover all the OS bases this January.  Besides the WM6.5-toting X2 that is set for a January 2010 release, MobileCrunch now reveals that the X2 successor, X3, will hit the streets at about the same time, SE’s first device with Android under the hood.  Hard to believe but looks like a great marketing ploy, considering that every other manufacturer is getting in on the Android game, and SE seems to have realized that the sooner the better.  This is yet to be confirmed, so you might want to take this news with a spoonful of skepticism, but if it is true, seeing the quality that the Xperia devices carry, we will have two great devices to choose from next January!

Sony Ericsson Xperia line is about to get a new addition. The X3, which we also know under the name of Rachael, is supposed to be officially unveiled sometime early next year. By early we mean January of course, but that still needs to be confirmed by the manufacturer.

If this all proves to be true, what phone will you go for? The Windows Mobile X2 or the Android-powered X3? Current rumors imply that both phones will be available at the same time in January 2010 and we certainly hope that actually happens. Maybe it’s time Sony Ericsson got back in the game with some hot smartphones.

It’s game time again folks and the opposing forces are the Xperia X2 and the Xperia X3. What will you choose between WinMo and Android?

Sony Ericsson’s latest phone, the Xperia X2 has an off contract price apparently. The device has been leaked by eXpansys UK and it will cost $1,010. The phone will be released on January 11, 2010 so if you want a brand new, unlocked Sony Ericsson phone and you’re ready to pay all that cash for it then eXpansys UK is the way to go. Should we assume that the X2 will be overpriced even when purchased with a new contract? It’s only a Windows Mobile phone after all, and there are other phones out there that are definitely more popular and a lot cheaper. Will the X2 be a success or should we wait for Sony Ericsson to launch its first Android smartphones?

When will Sony Ericsson officially launch the Xperia X2? More and more details are emerging and they are available around the web and more pictures have appeared. But the company is not announcing the handset yet.

And here’s a quick recap of specs:

• 8.1 megapixel auto-focus camera,
• VGA video recording at 30fps
• 3.5-inch WVGA OLED display
• GPS
• 3.5mm audio jack
• Accelerometer
• Faster processor
• 512 RAM
• Custom Windows Mobile 6.5
• XPERIA Panels
• Upgradable to Windows Mobile 7

How much would you pay for the Xperia X2? There’s no word on pricing just yet so we might as well speculate on it.

Better late than never right? That seems to be Rogers‘ policy concerning the Xperia X1. While Sony Ericsson is getting ready to launch the X2 at some point in the future, Rogers is only ready to sell the first version of the phone.

The phone will cost $249.99 with a 3-year contract and at this point in time it wouldn’t be that wise to get one. You’d be better of getting some of the new phones available or simply wait for the Xperia X2 to be launched. What say you, Xperia X1 phone fans?

Sony Ericsson has a new special event scheduled for this Wednesday, June 17. The company will probably launch at least one new phone if not more. Are we going to see that much rumored Xperia X2 officially emerge? What else could Sony Ericsson have up its sleeve? It should be pretty hot considering that Sony Ericsson wants to absolutely launch something ahead of the CommunicAsia event. Sony Ericsson’s event is scheduled for 4:30PM Singapore time and we’ll show you soon the new phones.

We’ve already seen the Xperia X2 twice so far and we have an idea of what features to expect from it when it arrives. Today we get to see it in Silver and it certainly looks better. And a lot thinner I might add although at this point we’re still guessing. If the phone has been already leaked to everyone why isn’t Sony Ericsson do the honorable thing and announces it? Will any carrier be ready to pick this Windows Mobile 6.5 carrier up?

After two photo sessions with the Xperia X2 it’s time to show you some specs of it. Unfortunatelly these features aren’t confirmed yet but they would very well fit with the pictures. So here they are:

• 8.1 megapixel camera with auto focus,
• VGA video recording at 30fps
• 3.5 inch WVGA OLED touchscreen display
• GPS, aGPS
• 3.5 mm headphone jack
• accelerometer
• faster processor
• 512 RAM
• custom Windows Mobile 6.5
• XPERIA Panels with innovative features
• Upgrading to Windows Mobile 7 is supported by Xperia panels

The X2 seems a lot better than the X1, at least from where we’re looking. That Windows Mobile 6.5 OS we were talking about yesterday is there and it looks like the X2 will be upgradeable to Windows Mobile 7. We’ll be looking forward for Sony Ericsson to officially mention the X2.

We have just told you about the next Xperia smartphone from Sony Ericsson and it looks like more pictures of the X2 have been leaked. The Xperia X2 seems more and more certain and it even has a codename, the Vulcan. This Xperia will be black and it will run on Windows Mobile like its predecessor. According to the pictures it will also sport an 8 megapixel camera with flash. We’ll be waiting for the official Sony Ericsson announcement for more specs, but it might take a while since the phone could be launched only in 2011.

The Xperia X1 was definitely one important phone for Sony Ericsson and it should be only logical for the manufacturer to work on a follower. Is this the one? Is this the X2? From what we can see in the picture it’s definitely a Sony Ericsson phone. It has an X Panel button and a Windows key so it definitely qualifies as the next Xperia. The handset offers a full QWERTY slide-out keyboard which is also consistent with what we’d expect from the next Xperia. Anyone interested in a potential X2?
