The first Android device from Sony Ericsson may have undergone an upgrade in the naming department, jumping from
X3 all the way to XPERIA X10 (probably to avoid confusion with
Nokia's X3 handset), but what lies under the hood is reassuringly
in line with
what we've been hearing. That is to say, a 1GHz
Snapdragon chip from Qualcomm, wide 4-inch capacitive touch display, 8.1 megapixel camera with LED flash, and a thoroughly tricked out Android skin named Rachael. Sony Ericsson stressed to us the symbiotic importance of both the new flagship device and "open OS" UI -- the X10 was presented as the patriarch of a whole new family of handsets, which we can expect to see in the first half of 2010, all sporting the beauty of Rachael and perhaps helping to bridge the gap between featurephones and, well, more advanced featurephones. So don't be shy, come along past the break to see our uncensored first impressions of both, along with hands-on video and pictures.
