Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Rachael closer to officialdom

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 (a.k.a. Rachael) just made another public appearance, confirming the rumors that its official announcement is coming as soon as 3 November. An official sales brochure of what is Sony Ericsson make-or-break project appeared online, revealing another particularly cool part of the handset.

Update: Sony Ericsson have already setup a mysterious landing promo page for their "next big thing", coming on 3 November. The only link available on this landing page leads to Sony Ericsson homepage but not without including a referral for its origin, which quite directly mentions Rachael ([tautan dihapus] Well, the mysterious landing page is no longer such a mystery. Ain't that right, Mr. Watson?

Now back to that leaked XPERIA X10 sales brochure. The new fact that we managed to get out of it is that the Android-running handset will pack 32GB of internal memory, expandable even further with memory cards. That puts the XPERIA X10 on top of its class, matching the Nokia N97 record.

Just don't get overexcited about that 1080p logo on the brochure. Much like Sony advertise their digicams, we bet it doesn't have anything to do with video recording, but instead indicates that the camera can be set to capture FullHD 1920 x 1080 pixel images (which is mere 2 megapixels really, so not a big challenge for a 8 megapixel camera).

Ternyata youtube brosur yang kupost di thread portfolio SE ada benarnya.

Dari video didpt kesimpulan

Layar 4,1 inch, OLED sama capacitive
Internal memori 32 GB
plus HDMI

So with the official brochures printed and ready, the market release of the device itself can't be too far away. Will Sony Ericsson manage to do it in time for the Christmas shopping spree?

maklum deh bro chen... SE banyak customnya. belon lagi ngomongin timescape-nya.. kompabilitasnya ke android-nya (1.5 yah)... eh.. android 2 uda muncul... bongkar pasang lagi hehehe....

and it happened again... P990 (first SE smartphone with UIQ3)... X1 (first SE smartphone with WinMo).. and now.. X10 (first SE smartphone with android)... jeda dari announcement ke launchingnya kelamaan.....

IMHO yah...

Yes bro, aku setuju dengan pendptmu,
Pendek kata, semoga ini yang terakhir kalinya aku mencoba menunggu kelas Xperia.

KARENA KELAS XPERIA RATA2 SEMUANYA MENGECEWAKAN

Aku lebih baik pilih sekelas AspeN yang gak ada LED, gak ada Video Call, bila perlu gak ada kamera, tetapi isi didalamna banyak yang menarik, dan segera dirilis.

@ Bro Wenxing.
Iya bro, tensi udah mulai naik nih nunggu x10.

Lebih baik pilih U series deh, atau seri mid range saja. Gak banyak cengkuneknya,

Buat x10
Aku gak butuh versi eclair, versi froyo, versi abon sapi, versi nasi kung pao, dll.

Biar donut, asal gak ada masalah software, dan cepat dirilis, itu sudah baik sekali,

hehehe..
sabar2 bro chen..
y kita coba liat kedepannya gimana nih nasib si X10..

Xperia X10 will be upgradeable ??

Hi all,

Sorry for the long absence.

Some reflections after meeting media, analyst and bloggers around the world over the last couple of months.

I have been confronted with the same questions and discussions that you have been interested in from the very beginning. The underlying OS release version that we will use when launching Xperia X10 -why 1.6 and will it be competetive enough? These concerns are quite on top of mind among industry experts as well as advanced users as yourself, which I do appreciate. I will share my experience from enganging in these discussions giving it a context. It is a bit lengthy, so bare with me.

The OS versions are somewhat becoming a reference point for people I feel. Similar to processor speed in computers and megapixels in camera phones. I as consumer of course evaluate the same things, buying equipment on my own. However when you start evaluating usage, there are more factors to consider than just the specs.

When I do a product demo, the response about hardware is unquestionable in my view. The design, screen size, ”feel” and overall specs leaves an impression right away. “Beautiful and delight to hold in the hand”, “Sleek and outstanding” are some frequent quotes.

On the other hand when moving over to talk about the user interface, I have felt some skepticism in the air since people tend to have adopted quickly to Android release version as their context of competiveness. Quite often, the starting point for this part of the demonstration is a 1.6 release remark if I would generalize my interactions to date.

Interestingly enough the focus on OS version changes over course of a minute or so. Demonstrating the generic Android capabilities with our graphical enhancements is a starting point. The home screen, the immediate responsiveness of the big capacitive screen, the true multitasking that Android allows, the easy and rich access to Google services like maps and android market. All that is there and for me that is the base functionality, which I really appreciate and use on a day to day basis.

Then I introduce the signature applications; Sony Ericsson TimescapeTM and Mediascape and the focus of the discussion shifts from talking about this layer on top of Android, that I refer to as the Sony Ericsson User Experience platform. I now find myself discussing the total experience rather the OS version in isolation with a great appreciation about what we are bringing to the table. Then the interest of the User Experience platform future roadmap gets to be the talking point instead. What I hope to get across to you all, is that there will be a software update for Xperia X10 that will upgrade the complete Sony Ericsson User Experience Platform based on newer version of the Android OS.

I have probably painted a positive picture, but I am sharing the discussions I have had and my take outs from them. I am not trying to hide from the fact that there are platform upgrades between android 1.6 and 2.1, if utilized can enhance the experience for developers and users. Having that said, I have had discussions with carriers that are very sensitive and concerned generally about taking on devices in their range that are not competetive enough. I have faced head to head comparisons between Xperia X10 and generic 2.1 Android devices (as well as other OS) and carriers have concluded that we still stand strong in comparison. This because of the layer that we ad on top of the generic OS.

I am both confident and humble at the same time as we can´t anticipate and cover everything when planning ahead. There will be areas that we can´t over bridge between these releases, but on the total experience I am very confident about this product as the feedback received has been extremely positive. Then there will be an update as well, which I hope settles some of the concernes expressed.

I will not be able to fully understand a developers take on this discussion (and we do have a dedicated community for that), but I would be very interested to hear you feedback. Reading the posts, it ranges from time to market, concerns about whether the product is “future proof” etc, but what are your biggest concerns when it comes to usage? What benefits from the 2.1 release are you most interested in? That would be really interesting for me to get some more input on….

Have a great weekend

Sumit

Unlocked Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 coming March 29 with a hefty price tag

[tautan dihapus]

Until now, the only season associated with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10’s release was spring – but now there is an actual date you can circle to remind you about its launch. Mark down March 29 because it’ll be go time for this highly anticipated Android handset to meet a world that is eagerly waiting patiently for its arrival. If you plan on getting this device, just be expected to dish out £499 (roughly $682.54 USD) if you plan on catching an unlocked version of the mobile phone – still that’s nowhere close to the rumored $900 it was expected to go for intially. So if the price is good enough for you, then you can sit back and relax until the date gets closer; which shouldn’t be too long now. Preorders for this powerhouse smartphone are available right now through [tautan dihapus] if you’re seriously interested. The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is jumping in at a time when the competition is already littered with other premier Android phones – we’ll see if it can stand toe-to-toe with some of the greats.

2 hari sesudah mencoba nexus one, milik sodara, dan apalagi sesudah mencoba OTA terbarunya.

Satu kata : Wowwww.

Specchless deh. Sudah timbul keraguan akan KETERLAMBATAN X10, dan OSnya yang masih old version.

kesimpulanku,

Nexus one, memang dedicated untuk Androidnya, apalagi ada multitouch sama si pinch zoomnya ( menurutku lebih baik dr brwosernya x10 ) dan search dedicated keynya yang sungguh impressif.

kalau x10, lebih ditonjolin UI buatan SE sendiri, tetapi fungsi androidnya yah gitu2 saja deh,

Bukanya bermaksud untuk berkhianat dr SE, tetapi memang kenyataannya begitu.

Xperia == Xpired series.

Semua serba old version old hardware.

Hmm terus terang dilema besar kembali muncul , antara x10, dan Nexus one.

( lihat perkembangan di MWC, kalau masih ITU2 juga, yah sory deh x10 ).

@chen71281
Mulai desperate ya bro?
Hahaha...
Kalau gw sih udah gak mikirin lagi... gimana nanti aja.
Kalau gw ada duit dan lagi pengen beli handphone baru ya gw beli yang ada aja deh... gak nunggu2 yang gak jelas...
Malah gw kayanya bakal lebih milih Robyn daripada Rachael...

Hampir desperate,Kalau nanti lusa beritanya sama, plus ditunda sampai April, atau akhir Maret, lebih baik aku nunggu Vivaz.

Vivaz lebih ada nilaina.

Moga2 saja kedepannya SE mau ngeluarin seri Android dengan versi terbaru tapi, tidak termasuk kategori Xperia.

Kalau aku jadi kamu, yap lebih baik pilih Robyn deh, yang dengar2 dari CS SE TA, akhir Feb ini segera dirilis.

Semoga.

Lho lho lho, jadi Robyn rilis duluan bro?

*Trus Batman nya kapan tuh?

hmmm

ini kayanya Robyn dan Abelin yah

[tautan dihapus]

hmm, mungkin saja yah?

X10 mini pro adalah Abellin?

sungguh sangat mengecewakan,

Lebih baik menunggu vivas saja.

Memang xperia series cuman bisa gembor gemborin saja.,

Tinggal nunggu si kabar batman saja,

I hate xperia series.

Wow, ga nyangka Robyn ada versi QWERTY-nya juga. Jadi tertarik... semoga harganya ga mahal2...

..... tapi kalo boleh jujur... itu kok susunan QWERTY keyboardnya kurang menarik ya. Terlalu 'beraturan' dan ada space kosong di pinggir2nya. Kesannya gimana gitu....
