Go ahead – grab your bag of salt. Pull a grain out, and have it at the ready. While we’re still digging for independent confirmation of this, we just got it on good word that Sony Ericsson’s first big jump into Android, the XPERIA X3, is tentatively set for a launch in January.
This seemed a bit strange to us, at first, considering that the X3’s sequential predecessor, the X2, hasn’t launched yet. In fact, the only potential launch dates we’ve seen pop up for the X2 are in January as well. Then we realized: as far as we can tell, these things have been developed in parallel – so why not launch them together? The two handsets are running entirely different platforms (X2 is Windows Mobile, while the X3 is Android), so, if nothing else, they’ll have the bases covered.
Glad I got the HTC HERO now,cos I Can’t wait till Jan + for an android phone !! ;-)
Glad I got the HTC HERO without contract, so I can get my X3 on contract in January.
Yep, me too!
Got it sim free (you know,the white one!!)
And then tried to leave T-Mobile, so they offered me a deal for £10 pm !!
RESULT! ;-)
“good word” and “grain of salt”? :)
surely they are mutually exclusive terms???? :)
i would say x3 hasn’t been launched yet because android 2.0 is behind schedule
WOW the Video!!! http://su.pr/2hBcls
My iPhone contract is up in January and was tempted to get the Hero if the X3 wasn’t out yet, but if it’s going to be close i might just wait. Saying that i went into carphone warehouse today and the assistant didn’t even know what android was, bearing in mind we was stood in front of the hero and magic i certainly wont be going there to purchase.
WOW that’s Cool mate!!! Not as cool as this tho: http://su.pr/2xlWlC
Android is catching on like fire!
I love the qwerty slider keypad they had in X1 and X2 (comin up). As far as I know, X3 doesn’t seem to have one; atleast not in any one of the pics I saw on the Internet; would have loved it in this one too !! :-(
actually the x2 is due in november look at for detailshttp://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-phone/sony-ericsson-x2
