Having tracked Sony Ericsson for years now, it comes as little surprise to see that, after plenty of happy noises about the apparently confirmed February 2010 release of the XPERIA X10, the company’s online store has now whipped away the date details. The “coming soon” page now merely says “to be announced” and reiterates the Q1 2010 window, which is all Sony Ericsson would tell us officially when the XPERIA X10 was announced a few weeks back.
With the XPERIA X10 splayed open for all to see, attention turns to other leaky Sony Ericsson devices and in particular the Kurara. Tipped to be the more basic sibling to the current flagship SE Satio, the Kurara is believed to have a 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen, 8.1-megapixel autofocus camera and run Symbian S60.
The weeks are just flying by, time change is this weekend so I hope you aren’t late for anything. The holidays will be here before we know it. This has been another busy week in the gadget world. HTC has confirmed that Android 2.0 smartphones are incoming and the HTC Dragon is the likely first Android 2.0 device to come from HTC.
Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA teaser may have been accused of being a little presumptuous, but that doesn’t mean we’re not excited about the Android device they’re announcing on November 3rd. Now a teaser video has emerged showing the XPERIA X3/X10 Rachael in action, and darn it if we’re not excited again.
Vodafone UK have confirmed their second Android smartphone, the HTC Tattoo, which will arrive on the network come October. The Tattoo is HTC’s most recent Android-based device, and is being positioned as an entry-level model with a focus on customization; to that extent it has a 2.8-inch resistive, rather than capacitive touchscreen, but features the HTC Sense UI and replaceable covers.

Do you know what that is? It's a Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2, sat in front of a generic white box, yes, but it's also the first video unboxing of the upcoming Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone that we've seen. Arne from the::unwired managed to acquire an "acceptance unit", typically supplied to carriers for final validation, which gives us a good opportunity to check out what will likely be included in retail packaging.
Pricing news on the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 has slipped out, thanks to some persistent pestering by Solapalmari. Their source has confirmed that the X2 – which has a large touchscreen, slide-out QWERTY keyboard and 8-megapixel camera – will be priced at between €590 and €600 ($865-880) when it lands in Europe in the next few months.
Vodafone UK have put three much-anticipated devices up for preorder, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2, Nokia E72 and LG GM750. Set to begin shipping in November, October and October, respectively, the three phones each have HSDPA high-speed data connections and GPS.
Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X2 only got official a couple of days ago, but already there are several people lining up to show you the new Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone. HDblog managed to acquire one and take it for a pretty comprehensive ride in the ten minute video you can see after the cut, and then Sony Ericsson’s staff themselves line up to share their hands-on perspective.

Sony Ericsson"released the X2 yesterday, but it looks like they couldn't let things go on a good note. Well, maybe not a good note. Let's call it a rational note. After seeing this video of the XPERIA Pureness, we're not sure what to think. There's definitely some interesting aspects to it, but just one look at the phone, and you've got to tell yourself that the cost is surely going to outweigh any feature set this device could have.
