Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Review

The Xperia X10 marks Sony Ericsson’s forray into the Andriod market, complementing its other devices that run on the Symbian and Windows platforms. Comparisons are therefore possibly better made with other Andriod phones rather than other Sony Ericsson models.

The Xpreia X10 is a relatively slim (at 13 mm) and has a lovely large 480 x 854 pixels WVGA touch screen (4.7 inches or 119.0 x 63.0 mm). If you prefer slightly smaller phones, than there is an X10 mini expected.

Inside is a 8.1 Megapixel camerawith 16x digital zoom, auto focus, flash and face recognition. Geotagging is included using the built in a-GPS reciever and you can record video. Andriod phone makers have to date seemingly neglected the camera qualities and at 8.1 megapixels the X10 is one of the highest resolution Android cameras on the market. In addition the picture quality is good and Sony Ericsson have packaged good software to operate the camera.

Sony Ericsson are promoting the X10 as a social networking phone; easily connect your facebook contacts and see friends updates straight to your X10. The interface is slick. Called Timescape, it tracks your interactions with freinds accross time.

The music player interface is called Mediascape and includes the interface into your photos and media library.

The GPS will work with the free Google Maps, which includes turn by turn navigation, as well as the growing range of apps available for Andriod.
