Japanese-Swedish mobile phone maker Sony Ericsson announced about two weeks ago the official launch of its first handset powered by Google's Android operating system, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, but it hasn't delivered an exact release date for the device. However, the company's UK online store already lists an expected availability window for the X10, which is February 2010.
