Never mind that Kurara, here’s more of what’s REALLY interesting from Sony Ericsson…the X10. This is another hands-on video showing a prototype X10 which is still rather laggy though perhaps performing better than that shown to engadget.
We can only hope that the final versions will run as smooth as silk like the concept videos promise.
Head over to GSMArena to see their full X10 preview .
Now that the X10 announcement is behind us, the focus is back on the upcoming Sony Ericsson ‘Kurara’, Satio’s little sister. The ‘Kurara’ will be launched under the Entertainment Unlimited banner and will be based on the Symbian S60 platform. According to rumors, the device will sport a 3.5 inch AMOLED touchscreen, an 8.1 megapixel camera with autofocus and HD-recording.
In all probability, the ‘Kurara’ will be launched at MWC next year and should be available in H1 2010.
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.
