The Nokia X3, a mobile phone many of us may recall that launched in September has gained the nod of the FCC. This phone is not 3G capable but comes armed with an array of features such as a 3.2 megapixel camera, FM radio, stereo speakers, micro SD expansion ports and dedicated music keys. Though there is no word on who among AT&T and T-Mobile will be carrying it, The Nokia X3 will retail for about $169.

Next Tuesday Sony Ericsson is going to launch its first Android device, the Xperia X3 aka Rachael. Although most people are busy pre-ordering the Droid from Verizon, they should really stop and see what this Rachael phone is all about. The teaser above has been officially leaked and the handset looks pretty interesting. Sure 20 seconds of video featuring a turned-off device isn’t enough for us, is it? But at least we know the Rachael looks better than expected. All we need now are some decent specs and a matching personality and we might just have a Droid competitor on our hands!

Sony Ericsson has been working on at least an Android phone so far and it looks like the manufacturer is ready to launch one. Whether it’s the Xperia X3 also known as the Rachael or the Xperia X10, Sony Ericsson’s first Android phone is supposed to arrive on November 3. Pricing and details aren’t confirmed at this point so we’ll return next week with all the official info.

The Rachael could be at least as good as the Droid but unfortunately for Sony Ericsson Motorola’s and Verizon’s marketing campaigns made sure that anyone interested in Android phones will want to buy the Droid. What do you think folks? Will Sony Ericsson be successful in its Android venture?

Rumors say that the first Android phone coming over from Sony Ericsson will be the Xperia X10 and not the Xperia X3 as expected. The phone should be available in February 2010 and not earlier as previously expected. That seems a little too late! In the mean time we’re going to see a lot of other Android phones which will probably steal a lot of customers that could otherwise be interested in the Xperia X10.

An insider familiar with the X10 had this to say about the phone:

The device is super flat and further the size of the screen similar to that of the HTC Touch HD. Furthermore, the device is slightly rounded, according to the two-SE employees that the new trend in SE … What had struck me as the big screen and the thickness of the device. The device is really ultrathin fact! I also do not specifically on the camera side view, but the device is comfortable to hand and is much lighter than a x1.

Maybe someone should tell Sony Ericsson that Motorola will probably launch the Droid, HTC will unveil the Dragon and Acer will start selling the Liquid A1 before February 2010. If the X10 is such a great device, maybe we should see it in the flash earlier. Let’s say before Christmas 2009?

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?

Microsoft recently unveiled the latest addition to the SideWinder line, the new SideWinder X3 Mouse. Designed for convenient use by both left- and right-handed folks, it comes in a smaller shape as well, along with plenty of control features for gaming.

One of the coolest features, like the other SideWinder mice, is the ability to switch mouse dpi on-the-fly. With three buttons, you can customize the desired dpi setting for each button and switch among them without having to access the Control Panel each time. That’s an increase in productivity right there, especially since you can continue with the game while setting the desired sensitivity at the click of a button. To set the sensitivity, open the Microsoft IntelliPoint software (bundled with the device), and under the “Sensitivity” tab, choose the dpi settings that you prefer.
