The next Superior Phone from Sony Ericsson.

Sony XPERIA 10 with “Rachael” UI, Android based system (1.6)

Sony Ericsson is expected to show the world “What’s next” in the next few hours when it announces the Sony Ericsson XPERIA 10 “Rachael” phone. But SE’s first Android phone is already known: this is the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10.

about the phone so far:

• Touchscreen: 4.0 inch, scratch-resistant touchscreen with 480 x 854 pixels display (WVGA resolution)
• Memory: 1 GB of internal memory (meaning you’ll probably won’t have to worry about running out of app space), support for microSD cards, and an included 8GB memory card
• Timescape - Sony Ericsson’s answer to the increasingly-popular trend of integrating contact activity into one central location. It has an intuitive way of centralizing Facebook, Twitter, photos, emails, and texts in into one place. An “infinite button” will show the connections in one view.
• Mediscape - Sony Ericsson’s beautiful twist on music and video organization and playback on Android. Organize music, photos, and videos from your favorite friends or artists, YouTube, PlayNow, and the items stored on your phone/SD card. Face recognition for up to five people in one photo can automatically recognize your friends and connect to your phonebook. So, if you load new photos, the phone will be able to link them to your friends John and Amy’s profiles.
• Bluetooth: Bluetooth stereo (A2DP), FM Radio support, and a wireless stereo headset that streams music with “sound-enhancing ear-buds.”
• Device: Colors available: Sensuous Black and Luster White (direct quotes, so please don’t accuse me of sexual harassment!)
• Camera: 8.1 megapixel camera with 16x digital zoom, auto focus, face recognition, geo tagging, image stabilization, light control, video recording, and easy send to web features
• Misc: A-GPS, Wisepilot GPS navigation trial, 3.5 mm audio jack, PlayNow, and TrackID support

Wow. The XPERIA 10 will be available in Q1 2010 (January-March). The press release was sent from London, so we can guess that this baby appears in Europe first.
