Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 rolls out
The long wait is now over! Sony Ericsson´s first Android-based handset, the Xperia X10, is finally on sale at several online retailers. Assuming the average shipping time would be several days, we need to say that the information about the end of March market release of the device (March 29, 2010) proved to be accurate after all.
Cool! And what about its price? Well, dear readers, anyone willing to get a contract-free unit of the high-tech model should be ready to go to great expense, because the price tag of the X10 is in the $770-850 range. This, however, does not include the relevant shipping cost, insurance and extras the device can be ordered with.
So, what do you get for your hard-earned cash? The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is one of the most powerful Android handsets on the market today and still the only one with 8-megapixel camera and 4-inch screen (Android-based devices with similar specifications are expected to hit the shelves this summer). The X10 integrates 1GHz Snapdragon processor and runs edition 1.6 of the operating system. Sony Ericsson has tried to personalize the interface to the best of their abilities and added really interesting and multi-functional applications like Timescape and Mediascape. It´s up to you to decide whether or not the Xperia X10 is worth the hefty price it´s available at.
