Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

Although it won’t be on the market until early 2010, Sony Ericsson has been promising something different with its Xperia X10 and, according to early mobile phone reviews, they have certainly delivered that, although including a lot of jargon to describe it might not always be the best approach.  It’s an Android phone, and possibly the very best of them to date, utilising a Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon processor to accomplish tasks.

The platform has what the company calls ‘splines’, which come under Timescape and lets you access everything about your contacts, from photos to their Facebook and Twitter accounts – yes, this is a phone aimed squarely at a crowd that loves its social media. If you desire even more information on the contact, simply hit ‘Infinity’ and dig deeper.

With its four-inch, high resolution screen, video looks like a dream, and the touch screen responds very well to a light touch of the finger. The camera promises a great dealing, weighing in at a very impressive eight megapixels, much better than the average new mobile phone. The music feature has also been highly rated. A 3.5mm headphone jack makes for good listening, but the phone can also find all songs on the handset by a particular artist using ‘Infinity’, as well as connect to YouTube videos, and there’s even a feature allowing direct purchase of music.

There has certainly been a big buzz about the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, and its features seem likely to propel it to the head of the Android smartphone pack.
