Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 previewed; might cost €599
By Ilinca Nita on 04 Sep 09Officially announced just two days ago, Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 is one of the new Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphones that should be available starting October 6 – in some markets, at least.
Following the footsteps of Xperia X1, the X2 comes with a touchscreen display and a full QWERTY keyboard. The new smartphone also has Xperia panels – and Sony Ericsson has done a wise thing by releasing the Panels SDK so that developers can create new panels.
The Xperia X2 has recently been previewed by Mobile-review.
Both the black and the silver editions of the smartphone were photographed – and the black one looks arguably nicer.
Overall, the X2 seems to be better built than the X1. Reportedly, the X2 has a nice WVGA touchscreen display, “excellent” QWERTY keyboard, loud speakers, and nicely integrated panels.
The new smartphone uses the same processor as the X1 – Qualcomm MSM 7200 at 528MHz. Hopefully, this will do its job well. The X2 previewed by Mobile-review is not the final version of the device, so it’s not clear yet how the final version will perform.

Mobile-review expects the Xperia X2 to be priced at about 28,000 Russian rubles (€617 or $880).
This price is sort of confirmed by HDblog.it (via WMPoweruser): they say that the X2 will be launched in Italy in late October, for €500 – €600 (most probably €599).
