Finally the long awaited mysterious phone Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 comes to the reality today. Sony Ericsson decided to announce the next Windows Phone of Xperia series at the same day with the Nokia World event. Together with the announcement Sony Ericsson also launches the Panel SDK for Xperia X2 to let developers create applications for the the phone. The phone is expected to be available in selected markets from early Q4 2009.
Basically there’s not much surprise except the announcement of the phone it self. All specs and photos has been already spread across the internet in the last couple of months. The interesting thing is Sony Ericsson managed to break the dateline of Windows Mobile 6.5 and get the Xperia X2 to be the first official phone running Windows Mobile 6.5 or called Windows Phone that supposed to be announced on October 6th according to Windows Mobile Team blog. But looking at the specs of the Xperia X2, this Windows Mobile 6.5 is probably the customized version for Xperia X2 since still according to the news reported before that Windows Mobile 6.5 is supposed to be intended for low end phones and i don’t think Xperia X2 is one of them.
Anyway, it’s great to hear the news and some of you may celebrating the phone now. For more details read the Xperia X2 Press Release.
