What’s sure about the update now:
- The X10 will keep it’s old camera application and won’t get the stock Gingerbread one which is really good
- Facebook Inside Xperia will come to the X10
- It will bring an experience like on the 2011 SE Android devices to the X10

Also Sony Ericsson posted a preview video of the update:

After watching the video I’d say that the 32fps cap still exists in the update, which is bad.

So once again we have to keep waiting.

Above you can see the new Sony Ericsson phones. The one with the keyboard is the txt pro, the other one is the Mix Walkman. The OS of them is SE’s own, like the one from Yendo.

At first a few Mix Walkman details and features:

It’s a touch phone (as you already know) with a Walkman-related feature called Zappin. Let me quote the explanation: “[...] Zappin^TM lets you browse through your songs in a fun way by automatically being served the chorus of the songs while skipping through them” It also has a karaoke mode that tries to lower the vocal track of your songs. There is even a way to change its look: The band around the edges is changeable!

Now some txt pro specifications:

It is designed for communication – that’s why it has a full qwerty keyboard. It has social applications pre-installed to stay connected with your friends from facebook and twitter.

They both have Wi-Fi, the four-corner interface and will be launched in Q3.

Do you think the Mix Walkman is the new phone for Walkman fans?

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!

Here’s a snippet of the article:

Let’s start with some facts and figures. The X10 sports (among a lot of others) the following main-features:
Android 1.6 (Donut)
WVGA screen (480 x 854)
Scratch resistant, 4 inches, capacitive TFT touchsreen
Size: 119 x 63 x 13 mm, 135 grams
1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 processor
Sony Ericsson Timescape™ & Mediascape™ User Interface2
HSPA
8 Megapixel camera with touchfocus, multipoint-focus, automatic scene detection, smile detection
WVGA video recording
Face recognition on pictures
aGPS
Exchange ActiveSync
3.5mm headset jack, miniUSB connector
1500mAh battery

……….

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.

Cheers rog!
