Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 is the manufacturer's second WM smartphone

What a day it is! Nokia has officially announced the N97 mini and the first Xseries models – the X6 and the X3, HTC revealed the Touch2, and now Sony Ericsson makes a move by announcing its second Windows Mobile smartphone, the XPERIA X2. It would be among the most technologically-advanced smartphones using Microsoft’s operating system. This becomes clear after a quick glance at its specifications – a 3.2-inch WVGA display, full QWERTY keyboard, 8.1-megapixel camera with autofocus and photo flash, Wi-Fi with DLNA, A-GPS, TV-out, Bluetooth and a microSD slot (supports up to 16GB cards).




Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 is a Windows Mobile 6.5-based smartphone and as it was with the X1, its interface is personalized with Panels, which change the homescreen layout. It will come with 14 panels straight out of the box, but additional 16 will be available for download. Today, Sony Ericsson also announced its Panel SDK, which should allow the developers to easily create new panels. Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 also packs a new feature called SlideView. It is said to give you a quick access to all missed events – calls, e-mails and messages.

We are happy that the X2 will be available in a couple of versions – one suitable for Europe/Asia and one for America. It is expected to launch in the fourth quarter of the year, but unfortunately, there is no information on the exact pricing as of now. We are eager to get our hands on the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2, what about you?
