Sony Ericsson’s simple, unique phone with transparent display is now on sale. That’s good news but the bad news is that it’s pegged heavily at $990. Yes, almost a grand for what Sony Ericsson claims “talk, text, time – a holiday from technology.” So when this phone does not have anything revolutionary except the transparent [...]

 
Sony Ericsson’s Rachael has finally made its way out, by the name of Xperia X10. Sony Ericsson has made a very good effort in its first ever Android attempt that could give Motorola’s DROID a run for its money. Of course, it does not have a physical QWERTY keyboard or Android 2.0, the DROID/MILESTONE gets [...]

 
Hype sells products and this is what Sony Ericsson is trying to do. They’ve released a teaser video of their first Android-based device to build anticipation amongst consumers. Rachael aka Xperia X10/X3 is shown in pristine white from different angles with the clip ending to reveal its November 3 unveiling date.
PS: If you can’t [...]

 
Sony Ericsson tried their best to put up a teaser for an upcoming Android Xperia phone but alas, their tease was shortlived. The “What’s Next” teaser asked readers to check back on November 3 but eager sleuths at SE-Blog quickly checked the source that had a mention of Rachael. While most of the traces have [...]

 
Sony Ericsson has not even announced Android-powered Xperia X3 but we’re seeing rumormongers chirping its supposed street date. Apparently, Mobile Crunch has got someone on “good word” that SE will be launching Xperia X3 in January next year.
This is somewhat surprising because SE’s Xperia X2 will go on shelves in Q4 this year and [...]

 
Sony Ericsson has made its conceptual looking Kiki official. The announcement was made in London where Sony was holding a presser to emphasize on its new brand message ‘make.believe’. Kiki, now known as Xperia Pureness is tagged as “talk, text, time – a holiday from technology,” which if we interpret, means it will be a [...]

 
It’s not surprising that more Windows Mobile 6.5 equipped devices are surfacing. The newest addition is Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X2, second phone in the Xperia family. In addition to the new OS, the X2 makes use of the Xperia panels and its unique SlideView feature that enables quick interaction with most frequented activities. On [...]

 
Xperia X2 has made quite a few appearances in pictures before but this is the first time we’re seeing it on a video. Well, it may not be the best of videos but at least it drops a few hints on what to expect from the device. The device runs Windows Mobile 6.5 without any [...]

 
UK retailer Expansys has once again spilled the beans of an unannounced phone and this time it’s none other than Sony Ericsson’s Android based Xperia X3 aka Rachael. Though there is no price to go with the phone, Expansys nonetheless, have it on pre-order.
The phone’s impressive spec sheet includes a 4-inch touchscreen display (800×400 [...]

 
It’s not the first time we’re seeing Xperia X1’s WinMo successor but this time the pictures are in abundance, clicked from every angle. The prototype device was pictured alongside X1 and boy, it does give some inferiority complex to X1. The rumored specs include 3.5-inch WVGA OLED screen, WinMo 6.5 OS but upgradeable to WinMo7, [...]

 
Wow, it’s Sony Ericsson leak galore. The four phones leaked are Rachael, Kiki, Bao and Twiggy. First is Rachael that claims to be from the Xperia family. It will supposedly be powered by Android, carry a Snapdragon processor clocking at 1GHz, 8MP camera, HSPA and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Next up is Kiki that looks [...]

 
This is the third instance where Xperia X2 has come out in the wild claiming its existence. The new pics emerging show a silver variant which actually looks better than black. The About screen pictured also throws some light on the specs. The phone is running a build of WinMo 6.5 OS and has 256MB [...]

 
This “Show Off Unit” has turned our suspicion into belief that X2 is indeed real. Apart from the design change, the phone’s hardware will also get an upgrade to easily run a custom built Windows Mobile 6.5 OS or Windows Mobile 7 whenever it gets out. The rumored specifications include a 3.5-inch WVGA OLED, faster [...]

 
Sure, the legitimacy of the picture will be questioned but the existence of an X Panel and Windows button gives it some creditability. The phone is allegedly the Xperia X2 which is known as Vulcan inside the doors of Sony Ericsson. Other concrete details are next to none so all we have is this picture [...]

 
UPDATE: Xperia X1 ROM is available for download. Hit the Xperia link below.
Alright, this is not official. ROM cookers at XDA-Developers are working hard to port Windows Mobile 6.5 (build 5.2.21159) on different devices and few notable ones are Touch HD and Xperia X1. The Touch HD version is known Davideuck_6.5_V-2 and according to the [...]
