If there is one series from Sony Ericsson that any smart phone fans should be familiar with, it is the XPERIA series of devices.
The first two smart phones under this line were the XPERIA X1 and X2. These two Windows Mobile smart phones combined business functionality with plenty of media access capabilities. The resistive touch screen tends to be bothersome, but since the WinMo OS is reliant on stylus input, users do not have much of a choice...

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 deals on contract
Sony Ericsson is not exactly a maverick in the smartphone world for some time and even its foray in the Symbian handsets met with some problems. So it is without some disappointment that its first Windows Mobile smartphone in the Xperia X1 was received and now you get the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 as its successor. It gets some aggressive pocket PC-like features and a sliding QWERTY form factor that can be said to be superior to the X1.
Superior Features
First off, the X2 uses the same Qualcomm MSM 7200 processor clocked at 528 MHz used in the first X1 but it nor runs an updated Windows Mobile 6.5. It’s the same 3G phone on the tri band UMTS radio with US and European versions and is also a quad band GSM on 2G.
It gets complete data connectivity on both networks with HSDPA at 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA at 2 Mbps on 3G and class 10 GPRS at 48 Kbps and EDGE at 236.8 Kbps on 2G/2m5G. Local data syncing and transfers are supported by Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP and microUSB 2.0.

Its display grows a mere 0.2 inches from the X1’s outdated 3-inch display and sports the same resistive touchscreen technology found on cheaper entry level smartphones. It carries the same WideVGA resolution which is wasted on a 64k color depth limitation the Windows Mobile OS is challenged to overcome. It gets an optical trackpad and the standard gravity accelerometer for auto rotate viewing.
It’s the imaging that gets to leap from the mediocre 3.2 megapixel resolution in the X1 to a flagship-grade 8 megapixel resolution on the X2 with autofocus, touch focus, LED flash, geo tagging and image stabilization. You also get Wide-VGA video recording at a 30fps. It still has no secondary video call support though this can be addressed with future firmware patch.
Multimedia is less an emphasis out of the box with no support for a built-in FM radio which can be enabled with a firmware update. You also get a basic media content playback for all the popular audio and vide files. There’s a 3.5mm audio jack for wired stereo listening and you can use the A2DP support fore wireless stereo listening.
The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 gets a decent 110 MB phone storage with 256 MB RAM and 512 MB ROM for the system files and a phonebook capacity for nearly unlimited entries an fields. Its memory can be expanded up to 16 GB fro its micro SD slot. Its powerful 1500 mAh lithium-polymer battery delvers up to 20 hours of music playback time, 20 hours of talk time on 2g and up to 500 hours in standby mode. SAR EU is rated at 0.90 watts per kilo.

With Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X2 about to arrive any time now, HTC has taken the lead by releasing the HD2. Despite the Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional OS, the HD2 will be using a capacitive high definition touch screen. Now, I seriously believe that Snapdragon mobile phones are devices to be reckoned with, but when you waste that much processing power on a bad OS, it makes me want to think twice. Still, I expect a lot of great things from HTC, con...
