Xperia X10 launching February 2010 in UK, says Sony Ericsson site

Sony Ericsson UK's got a new pre-registration page for the Xperia X10, and along with it what appears to be a brand new, February 2010 expected launch. It's hard to say for sure, but as far as we can tell this page is new, and last we heard the target window was a much broader "first half 2010." Can't say we're anymore excited about this than before, but far be it for us to get in the way of a truly die hard fan community. At least you have a better idea of when to break the bank now.

[Thanks, Matej]

The phone looks nice, but something about it just isn't geeky enough for me...

It's in Italian but good quality. Only thing to me is I'm still dubious about the size in the hand.

That's not in Italian btw.

Europeans loves X10, and hates Motorola Droid 's design.( droid is a good device)


Sorry, but some are late, the X10 has no speed problems.

Bon voila, I'm a fan of the X10 and I surf the entire web to gather other information to share.

It seems that the specifications have changed: till 32 and not 16 GB, 384 GB of RAM and not 256
-Released in Android 2.0 or update that would bring the multitouch screen and a better quality, because no Android 1.6 Manager on 16 bit, the screen of the X10 does not exceed 65 000 colors, out he has a good screen 16 million colors, so it's still a software problem and not hardware, since technically the screen is 16M colors and multitouch.

On the velocity of the mobile, responsive catastrophic first videos showing a model alpha belongs to the past, several other prototypes having happily replaced, but it is not optimized yet, hope this does not delay the release, which according to Reviews from the web would be Week 7, February 15 (global or not?).

It remains to know the self, which for this generation smartphone, rarely exceeds 30 hours.

from the copy it could just as easily be february 10th launch as the stated February 2010

[PEZ Posted Nov 15th 2009 6:33PM]

This thing is going to cost a grand in the US.

[va jj Posted Nov 15th 2009 7:17PM]

it would appear there will be two version of this phone. x10 and x10a according to gsmarena/phonearena.

the import does have umts 1700/2100 for u.s. tmobile while the x10a will get att 3g.

what this might mean is that people who import the phone can utilize 3g before att customers.

Makes my AT&T contract seem really enviable.

Nice to know they really don't want to rule the US cell market...

[Shaard Posted Nov 15th 2009 7:23PM]

I wonder what the real battery life will be on this thing...*shrug* I still want a droid but I don't even know if it will ever make it to UK shores :(

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 15th 2009 8:19PM]

I wonder if SE will finally come to grips with reality and sign deals with US carriers. After hundreds of millions of $$ in net losses, they can't really continue to do the same. I guarantee that this phone is at least $600 if not a grand. The xperia x2 is listed on several sites with a thousand dollar price tag. These people at SE seriously need to get their heads checked, lol....In a world of 199 droids, storm2's, heros, iphones, ect you're not going to survive.....

[pika2000 Posted Nov 15th 2009 10:35PM]

So, when is US release date? Feb 2011? Or at the same time as Duke Nukem Forever?

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 15th 2009 11:20PM]

x10 on sale for $300 off the retail price of $1299...lol

Looks great. I wouldn't mind giving this one a test drive.

[lejupp Posted Nov 16th 2009 4:29AM]

Anyone managed to read Ellen's number from the screen?

Yes, yes, SCNR...

[OLight Posted Nov 17th 2009 8:38AM]

Ooh, dirty, dirty monkey! The phone is available in "Sensuous Black." Maybe I can use it to order my "sensual MASS-age," a la Austin Powers.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 17th 2009 2:01PM]

Don't know if anyone has noticed, but the release date has changed from Feb 10 to "to be announced". I really hope SE aren't delaying this phone already!
