Our friend Eldar over at Mobile-Review has managed to get his hands on a Kurara, the much leaked HD video recording handset that we’ve being seeing so much of lately. Eldar revealed that Kurara is packing a Cortex A8 processor and 256 MB of RAM as well as a PowerVR graphics processor. All this corroborates the 720p HD video recording we’ve heard about and the Symbian UI is supposedly most responsive and fluid indeed. Eldar went on to say that in terms of price we’d be looking at around 500 euros and could expect to see it sometime in February.
Keep your eyes on Mobile-Review tomorrow as Eldar is promising a more full-on preview and more pictures!
Our good friend rog has posted a huge preview of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 over at se-first.com.
The preview offers videos of Timescape, Mediascape, e-mail client, browser, messaging and camera application in action as well as a plethora of live images!

Android 1.6 (Donut)
WVGA screen (480 x 854)

……….
Let’s get into details a bit more, our first video gives you some impressions of the Xperia X10’s look, which hopefully gives you some better feeling of the Android device (for best quality, watch it in HD!):
……….
Next thing: let’s have a look at the newly introduced concept of Timescape™ and Mediascape™, which basically represents Sony Ericsson’s customization of the Android UI.

What can we say about XPERIA X10 at the current stage? Well… It is definitely fun to use, the huge screen displays every content in a brilliant way, the capacitive screen is responsive, and once the firmware gets into a more final state, the phone for sure will also be more fluent in the usage. A glimps on the power that is hidden under the hood is very noticable already now in the browser, which is ultra-fast.
Sony Ericsson’s approach of including a wide area of social networks and tearing down the borders between those services in such a forceful way is certainly something new in the mobile phone area. A little doubt remains though: will the average (and even the above-average) user really make complete use of all the features that the X10 offers?
The preview is excellent and the phone is looking great, probably the most responsive we’ve seen it performing so far. So head on over to se-first.com to read the full article as well as another two videos and of course loads of live photos.
Engadget have gotten their paws on an X10 and have conducted a hands-on preview of the handset. They’ve taken some videos too, which give you a much better idea of the handset than the marketing videos Sony Ericsson has released. Head on over to Engadget to read the full hands-on and see what they thought of the X10. You can take a peek at the videos below.
And it’s on video! Yes, I know you guys love these kinds of hands-on sessions where you can just sit back and enjoy the influx of information from the live action video in front of you, as opposed to staring at sets of characters for half an hour. Your only grudge could be the reviewer’s diction in the form of various obscure accents. Now this guy is at least trying. I applaud you, reviewer guy!
Yes, our favourite video review guy, Mr. Wonky Accent is at it again. This time the team behind PhoneArena has managed to get its hands on Sony Ericsson’s flagship phone - the Satio. So, in case you haven’t seen the last dozen or so videos, here’s one more.
PS. Ahem, not all Bulgarians speak English like that. Just pointing out.
