So far, we have unboxed and taken a look at the presinstalled softwware on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. We now take a look at the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10's hardware. The 4" capacitive touch screen makes navigation through the user interface a breeze. 4" seems to be a very happy medium in terms of screen size-it's not too small and difficult to use and it's not too large and hard to hold. Powered by a 1GHz processor the X10 stays current with its competition and shows little to no slowdown. The X10 comes packed with a 1500mAh battery that Sony claims provides 8-hours of talk time to the ...

Next up, we scrape the surface on the software that makes up the Xperia X10. Unfortunately, with Android 1.6 preinstalled the X10 is slightly behind the 8-ball. Sony has stated they will be upgrading the device to Android 2.1 in late September, but there is no word on 2.2. Sony has however included two custom applications on the X10 that each serve a useful purpose. Timescape is an application that aggregates the users social networks into one common area. There is also a Timescape homescreen widget for added convenience. Mediascape on the other hand, brings pictures, videos, and music ...

It's time to unbox and kick of our coverage of the Sony Ericson Xperia X10! AT&T announced just a few weeks ago that they would be offering this Android 1.6 device on their network, further increasing their relatively slim offering of Android devices. Currently, AT&T offers the Motorola Backflip, HTC Aria, and the Samsung Captivate as part of their Android lineup. Each device boasts a unique characteristic, from price, to form factor, to screen resolution. Quite clearly, adding another choice is largely welcomed. This is only a brief taste of the Xperia X10. Coming up we'll have a few ...

My name is Evan Blass and I love smartphones. I mean, I really love smartphones. In fact, ever since I had the pleasure of owning Handspring's revolutionary Treo 600, I've been completely hooked on the technology. For me, the appeal lies not so much in the ability to place calls from anywhere as it does with having access to the internet in my pocket. I knew even back in 2001 when I carried a slim, silver Sanyo SCP-6400 with rudimentary WAP functionality, that having portable access to real-time data was a very powerful concept. We probably take this ability for granted now, but imagine ...

Part 1 of our software overview gave you a look at navigating through Sony's custom user interface on the X10 Mini. Just slapping any old version of Android onto the smallest smartphone would not suffice. Sony's skinned version of Android 1.6 does the job very well and makes the X10 Mini very usable, even by the most skeptical. In part 2 of our software overview, we venture further into the software making up the X10 Mini. We take a look at the social networking applications, the browser, and we also look at the video playback capability. Surprisingly, for such a small device, the speaker ...

Our unboxing video gave you a brief look at the custom user interface that Sony has incorporated with the X10 Mini. However, in our Software Overview Part 1 video we will spend some time giving you a tour of this Sony skin. The UI keeps the idea of one-handed operation in mind by allowing the user to swipe from widget to widget with ease. Unfortunately, the X10 Mini does not support a qwerty keyboard, but typing out short messages on this capacitive screen paired with multi-tap seemed to still be very fast. One pleasant surprise found here is that the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini has support for ...
