Sony Ericsson’s first Android cellphone says hello today, and it looks to be a somewhat dull device. The Xperia X10, if the advert is to be believed, is aimed at girls who like cappuccino and dancing around in clothes shops. It is also a rather huge and clunky looking handset.
The X10 will go on sale early next year “packs” features into its utilitarian exterior. There is a sure-to-be-great 8.1 megapixel camera with a 16x digital zoom and face recognition, a four-inch, 480 x 854 pixel OLED touch screen and, thank you Sony Ericsson, a proper 3.5mm headphone jack. Add to that an 8GB microSD card and Qualcomm’s 1GHz Snapdragon chip and you’re at the end of the spec sheet. Everything else is software, and Sony Ericsson has skinned Android with its own UX “platform” which will confusingly be rolled out in different guises across a range of devices.
The price is undecided, but the colors are already finalized: Sensuous Black and Luster White. Yummy. Pass the cappuccino.
