After all my mobile problems last year, the phone I’d been waiting for has finally come out. The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is the first SE to run Android (the one written by Google) and unfortunately its v1.6 rather than the v2.1 that is on the HTC desire which was my other possibility. Ive heard rumours that v2.1 will be an upgrade in September. The phone itself is really good – having access to tens of thousands of Android apps a bit like the iPhone app store. The only issue is the battery. Phones have got too big for their boots nowadays and phones like the iPhone and Blackberry Storm II rarely last a day without charging. The Xperia (and the HTC desire) are also in this camp. But its a gadget … and I’m gadget man. Coupled with an 8MP camera (something I like to make use of on a phone), it could well be an iPhone killer – if only they can fix the battery!
