Well it seems like the guys over at Sony Ericsson have taken all the fun with the unboxing of the Xperia X10 for us -- even though we had our hands on it a couple months ago at CES, and again at Mobile World Congress. So if they want to show off the box themselves, that's cool ...

Hands-on with the Xperia X10 mini pro

Phil Nickinson News Sunday, 21 February 2010

OK, everybody. Here it is. The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro, the tiniest darn Android phone you've ever seen, let alone one with a horizontal keyboard. For being as small as it is, the keyboard was surprising usable. More so than the Motorola Droid's (though that's certainly not saying much), but not nearly as good as the HTC ...

Sony Ericsson Answers Questions About the Xperia X10

Casey Chan News Monday, 08 February 2010

 

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is coming, SE promises us that. But we still don't know the final official details like the date it's coming, the price it'll be, and what US carrier it'll land on (if one at all). For a device that we were rather impressed with after giving it a hands-on and one that is also pretty well known in the...

Casey Chan News Friday, 08 January 2010

 

Oh, hello again little one. The Sony Ericsson 'Robyn' has popped it's pretty tiny face once again, this time lining up next to the iPhone. The iPhone looks like a giant, doesn't it? We're still not sure if this a joke or not because we just don't know how well the Android (or any smartphone) experience can translate on the small screen. Who the heck would use this? Maybe those fascinated with the

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Has A Mini Me Version Codenamed Robyn ?

Casey Chan News Monday, 07 December 2009

 

Things are all cyclical, aren't they? First, T-Mobile was the early adopter and only supporter of Android, then Sprint stole the shine by releasing the HTC Hero, then Verizon took them all to town with the release and ad onslaught of the Motorola DROID. Now there's rumors flying around that point both the HTC Passion and Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, two highly anticipated Android phones, to T-Mobile.
