Japanese-Swedish mobile phone maker Sony Ericsson announced officially at the beginning of this month that it would soon deliver to the market a handset powered by Google's Android operating system, the Xperia X10, a device previously known as Xperia X3. Just as other phones in the Xperia series, the upcoming X10 seems poised to make our hearts beat faster, both due to the handsets's looks and courtesy of the raw power it is said to come around with.

The company hasn't unveiled an official release date for the phone, yet rumor has it that we will have to wait until February next yer to be able to snag one of these beauties. However, until that happens, we can still enjoy a wide range of live photos and hands-on videos the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 has seen, a new series of which has just emerged into the wild. A gallery of new photos with the device, taken at an official X10 press event, has surfaced on SE-blog, while the guys over at TechBlog.gr have published two videos with the phone.

The one thing that is certain when it comes to the high-end Android phone is that it has all that it takes for a handset to become a very popular device on the market. A large touchscreen display has been included in the package, along with a powerful processor (1GHz Snapdragon), and a very appealing user interface, the Nexus UX, which has been encountered before as the Rachael UI.

However, Sony Ericsson seems to be a little late to the Android party with its Xperia X10. There already is a wide range of such devices available on the market, perhaps not as appealing as Sony Ericsson's Android phone seems to be, but which can deliver the enhanced user experience one would wish for. Not to mention that the recently reported problems with the company's Aino and Satio phones might make users think twice before making a Sony Ericsson acquisition. Hopefully, Xperia X10 will be able to live to the expectations, for it seems to promise a lot to anyone who waits for it.
