Here’s Rikard Skogberg and his friend Mårten doing a video unboxing of the XPERIA X10. It’s just about ready to ship, so stay tuned for more information about it! I can’t wait to get my review sample, that’s for sure! What about you? It’s probably one of the most exciting products from Sony Ericsson ever.

Preview of Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2
Those of you who read my huge review of the XPERIA X1 will know that I absolutely loved it. It featured great hardware for its time, was rather speedy although running Windows Mobile and its metal body was really nice. Last year the successor, the X2, was announced and it was released not too long [...]
Video: Brief demo of the X10 Mini
Here’s Michelle Gustafsson from Sony Ericsson’s Developer World team doing a quick demonstration of the XPERIA X10 Mini. I’m super impressed by the speed of the device. Everyone I’ve been talking with about the X10 Mini have been telling me that it’s super quick. That’s nice!
By the way, here’s a request for Sony Ericsson’s developer [...]
Small software package update now available for X2 customers
Sony Ericsson just announced the availability of a new small software package update for the XPERIA X2. While it is not the complete update of the operating system that will come later this month, they felt that they had to come out with something to enhance the user experience – I wonder why…
The update package [...]
X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro join the ‘Fabulous 5′
Sony Ericsson announced two additions to the XPERIA line-up at this year’s Mobile World Congress, both being compact versions of the brilliant X10. Quite appropriately, they’ve been named X10 Mini and one of them got an additional ‘Pro’ in the end of its name due to the added slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Both of them are [...]
Video: Face recognition on the XPERIA X10
I’m a bit late on posting this, but here’s a rather interesting video of the face recognition feature being demoed on the XPERIA X10 by Gustaf Brusewitz and Rikard Skogberg. Check it out!
The X2 gets Windows Mobile 6.5.3 in May, no love for Windows Phone 7
Sony Ericsson have just posted their X2 software upgrade schedule on the official Xperiancers blog, and it shows that we’ve got two firmware upgrades in store for the X2. The first will come in March and it’ll upgrade the phone’s operating system to Windows Mobile 6.5.2, thereby improving the stability and usability. It will also [...]
Pureness in the Dark
Just thought I’d share a few pictures of the Pureness in the dark. It looks great in complete darkness. Your friends will be impressed, if you pull something like that out of your pocket when you’re at a party or something like that.
Check out the X10 user manual
The X10 has been put through its paces at the FCC and as a result they’ve published pictures and other documents about the phone on the FCC website – including the user manual, which – by the looks of it – seems to be final or close to being final. There’s also quite a few [...]
New Aino & Satio firmware is out, X2 update coming soon!
The updated Satio firmware has just reached SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) and is now ready to be deployed on most handset variants across the globe. Operator specific versions of the firmware have yet to arrive on SEUS, but that’s pretty normal. The update (R1CA037) ensures improved performance and speed, and includes a lot of [...]
New X10 videos, lots of goodies!
Sony Ericsson have posted three new videos featuring the X10 – one of TimeScape, one of messaging on the device and the last one is about augmented reality applications on X10. Check them out below.
We’ve got the XPERIA Pureness!
And what a beauty it is! This handset has to be one of the coolest handsets ever made. Period! You wouldn’t imagine the amount of comments I’ve received about the Pureness – in just one day! People love it. Heck, one guy even tried stealing it (not really). Anyway, my point is that it looks [...]
Check this video from the local X10 event
Just found this video from the local X10 event in Copenhagen. It’s in Danish, but you’ll catch moments of the phone’s user interface as well. Other than that, we’ve got comments from my boss in the video and yours truly makes an appearance a few seconds into the video – you definitely don’t want to [...]
Photos of the XPERIA X2
Here is a high quality gallery of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 that I received just yesterday. I’ve been playing with it for a little while and I’ve already started fancying it. As a matter of fact, I started considering getting one myself after just an hour with it. Scary, isn’t it? Truth be told, [...]
Report and pictures from the local XPERIA X10 event
I attended a local XPERIA X10 press event earlier today, and just wanted to share a few pictures and thoughts of the brand new XPERIA X10. Let me just tell you right now that this thing is smoking hot. There’s no doubt whatsoever that it’s the most powerful and impressive device announced to date. Unfortunately [...]
X10’s UI Is Finally As Snappy As Conceived
Or nearly. See, back when the X10 was announced a few weeks ago, the live impressions of the interface weren’t that great. It was like watching a slideshow of static images. Now that the interface has been optimised to work more nicely with the Snapdragon beast that lies within X10’s interior, everything seems to be [...]
Video: New XPERIA X10 promotion video
Here’s quite a cool promotion video for the new XPERIA X10 that’ll hit the market early next year. It’s made by the same company who did the demo tour video on the Satio and X2, so I’m guessing this will be the one for X10.
Interview with Aldo Liguori on change at Sony Ericsson
As most of you know Sony Ericsson is a changed company – or at least they’re trying to be. Their new make.believe brand message seems to have done a lot of good for the company and I was hoping to get a chance to speak with someone from Sony Ericsson about the change and what [...]
Tweet: Interview on change at SEMC coming up tomorrow!
We’ve got an interview with Aldo Liguori, Corporate VP and Head of Global Communications & PR, coming up tomorrow. Stay tuned!
The XPERIA Pureness is now official
The details about the mysterious XPERIA Pureness have finally been revealed as the handset has made its way onto Sony Ericsson’s portfolio website. A funny thing to note is that local sites are apparently translating the word “Pureness”, hence giving it another product name. In Denmark it’s called “XPERIA Ren”, which sounds about as dumb [...]
Videos: Sony Ericsson execs talk about UX and X10
Just watch them!
Sony Ericsson introduces Rachael as the XPERIA X10
At last it happened. Sony Ericsson have just introduced the Rachael as the XPERIA X10 and it seems to be an incredible phone. It’ll be the flagship product of a family of products coming in the first half of 2010. More information will be available in a couple of weeks.
It runs Android 1.6 and Sony [...]
Video: Xperia X5 Pureness gets unboxed
It seems Mobile-burn have managed to get their hands on the upcoming Xperia X5 or perhaps better known as Pureness. Having done so, they’ve posted an unboxing video of the device that shows its design and how it works. Oh, and Michael Oryl is obviously not familiar with Bluetooth headsets – just kidding, Michael! Was [...]
Rachael has been spotted – again!
Seems like the rumours and spy shots just won’t come to an end. This time the spot light is on Rachael again. Sony Ericsson’s upcoming first Android handset.
Now, some rumours say that it’ll be called X3 while others claim that Sony Ericsson dumped ‘X3′, and that X10 will be the final name of the phone. [...]
Ericsson Twitter feed mentions XPERIA X3 in November
This is pretty interesting. Ericsson, despite being a separate company from Sony Ericsson, has just tweeted a post about the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X3 mentioning a November announcement and linking to a Softpedia news article. Let’s bet this tweet won’t be online much longer, eh?
Here’s the link for the tweet anyway.
By the way, don’t forget [...]
Excellent XPERIA X2 performance, best JVM on a Windows Mobile device
This is just in from the Sony Ericsson Developer World Twitter feed. Apparently the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 has the highest Jbenchmark PRO score ever, despite the performance disadvantages of its very high resolution display! That’s quite remarkable, to say the least.
In addition to this, the X2 is also said having the best Java Virtual [...]
