A Google Android sporting, Qualcomm 1ghs processor boasting, 8MP camera flaunting, Wifi’ing, GPS’ing, HSDPA’ing, 4-inch touchscreening phone is on its way in the form of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 and we’re very excited indeed. In the past, announcements of new Sony Ericsson phones have always prompted a pretty uniform response from us here. Something normally along the lines of: Mneh. Or: ‘k. Because as good looking and feature packed as many of them have been they’ve been consistently let down by simply two things that SE have now (finally!) addressed. And these, drum roll please, are:
1 – Proprietary technologies. In the past: Sony’s own brand of memory cards and headphones could be plugged into their handsets. The Sony Ericsson xperia X3 lets you use microSD cards and plug whatever the hell you want into the 3.5mm jack socket.
2 – Windows Mobile. The X3 is going to be SE’s first ever Google Android phone. And they’ve re-skinned it to look absolutely even more delicious than it already way. (See the video below). Yum
And in one fell swoop… or two swoops, actually, they’ve fixed. Whoop! So we just can’t wait for this thing to be released. There’s a Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 review to look at, or these Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 deals to peruse in the meantime, but annoyingly there’s no actual release date for the thing yet. We’ll pin our ears back and keep you posted though…
