iPhone, Prepare to Walk the Plank!
the first quarter of 2010 brings an awesome challenger for Apple’s way overhyped iPhone 3GS. well, say hello to Sony Ericsson’s first Android phone – the XPERIA X10!
thank god it’s not named Rachael or X3 based on the speculation floating around. at last, the X10 is what i have been hoping for.
this phone’s a stunner! 4″ screen displaying a screen resolution of 480×854 pixels (WVGA), and only 0.5″ thick thin! (ops, i guess 3.5″ ain’t that big after all) featuring capacitive touchscreen and an impressive media browser that reminds us of the Zune HD’s UI, it also comes with face recognition in photos integrated with your contacts.
the X10 has an 8.1-megapixel camera with auto focus, flash, smile-detection, face recognition, and video recording with video light. how awesome is that? awww iPhone, you gotta do better than 3.15-megapixel, don’t you? for those who are hoping for a physical QWERTY keypad, sorry but there is no way this thing is hiding a QWERTY keypad in that slim form factor.
the internal memory is 1GB, and supports MicroSD card up to a maximum of 16GB. networks supported are GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900, and UMTS/HSPA 800/850/900/1700/1900/2100. the X10 comes with a-GPS, Bluetooth 2.1 A2DP, Google Maps and WiFi. the processor is, well, rumoured to be a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon (iPhone 3GS only runs on 600Mhz).

appaprently i heard rumours saying the X10 would be priced between rm2500-3500…thats ridiculous…im waiting for nokia n900 tho….=P
and i think X10 is offering a 1.6 android rather than the 2.0 like motorola droid…

yeah, i’m actually leaning more towards X2 tho cause, you know, it’s more ‘professional’ like with the QWERTY keypads, Microsoft Office mobile, email sync etc
