As the initial excitement over the X10 announcement fades a little we can start looking at some of the details behind this handset. Eldar Murtazin, the Editor-in-Chief of Mobile-Review, has shed some light on how the X10 may impact the market. Writing in his Twitter feed Eldar revealed that Sony Ericsson will produce 100,000 X10 units for the global market. That’s for the entire world. Is that a lot? Well that depends upon how popular the X10 becomes of course. If it proves to widely popular then it most certainly isn’t enough. For example, the N95, in its heyday, sold around 1 million units in the UK alone.
Still the biggest question on everyone’s minds though is whether Sony Ericsson will be able to get the X10 out in January or whether they will slip back into the old habit of a long delay.
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.
Who better to hear about the X10 from than a couple of Sony Ericsson executives (well maybe me if Sony Ericsson wanted to send me a test unit, but I digress)? Take a peek at the videos below and check out what they have to say.
You remember that video of Rachael’s UI that we posted a few months ago? Well today another video showing off more of Rachael’s UI has popped up on YouTube. It’s a pretty sweet look and what looks to be a pretty sweet UI, and with the official announcement mere days away the whole Rachael/X10 circus is now firmly in town and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves!
