Sony Ericsson has unveiled its new Android handset, the Xperia X10, and is planning to stake its claim for a place in the burgeoning Android market.
The new phone is fairly similar to the 'new crop' of touchscreen phones, packing a super-fast 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and a 4-inch high resolution screen.
Specs wise, the Xperia X10 has jumped to the head of the Android pack, and has added in a new overlay that's probably the most comprehensive among other competitors too.
The whole thing has been codenamed the 'UX' platform (which stands for User eXperience - you see what they did there). It's basically a whole new way of locating and playing with media, contacts and social networks - with each aggregated in a 'spline' (we're not too impressed with the naming either.
On the contacts side of things, the 'Timescape' element allows you to see what's going on with a whole group of friends in a spline (by the way, this is a fusion of the words 'spine' and 'timeline' we think - not that that makes it any more palatable).
And if you want to look at a specific contact in more detail, you click on their tile, and an expanded view brings you all the information you could need about them.
This means you can see all the photos you've tagged with them, all the text messages in a threaded conversation, all the images and emails and multimedia bits and pieces you've shared, and even what's going on with their Facebook and Twitter accounts too.

3. Yes you could say that, but then again it will the judgment of the public when they finally used it. Congrats to UK! :D Next, will be Asia?
First time to see Sony-ericcson all "balls-deep" on a new smartphone in particular an android phone? We agree, that Xperia has a bitter history on older models. Hopefully, this X10 release will turned out to be a happy-ending.

Hopefully, this X10 release will turned out to be a happy-ending. But still, this phone has a far way to go on competing the iPhone kind or the Killer-Droid

1. This phone is really nice. However I am bit surprised it won't come an FM tuner, the X1 had it so why not in this?
