Sony Ericsson Xperia X2

Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 will be official launched to the first few selected markets early in Q4. News has just broken that the re-styled, gutted refresh of Sony Ericsson’s popular (and expensive) X1 is due to hit “selected markets” in Q4. According to a post on SE’s Xperiancers blog, the company is in talks with various carries right now, and will be detailing the plans in the coming weeks.

The handset is the first of second generation Xperia devices and will be the first to ship with the new Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system. Additionally, the blog delivers some info on the device itself, calling out its 8.1 megapixel camera, inclusion of a standard 4GB microSD card, and 13 pre-loaded “panels” in its reworked Windows Mobile skin (which appears to have a new SDK for the forthcoming OS update). Oh, and speaking of Windows Mobile, it’ll be shipping with 6.5 onboard.

Sony Ericsson also added something called the SlideView feature that notifies users to missed calls or new messages and provides quick access to them. Sony Ericsson did not reveal a specific release date or pricing (hopefully, it won’t be $800 again) for the Xperia X2, but, according to the company, it will be available in select markets in early Q4. It will come in two colors: black or silver.
