As the launch of the X10 draws ever nearer the fine chaps at Sony Ericsson have posted up a video of the X10 being unboxed. Two important points to note with this video; this is the commercial version of the handset so this is what you will get in the box yourself, you may have seen earlier unboxing videos with different packaging and contents, but those were pre-production models. The other point to note is that, as always, the video has been shot using Vivaz.

My lovely X10
I’m more into Vivaz which I think is better. Nice vid tough.
Mmh the Vivaz is only better in Video recording… The X10 has better hardware (except camera) and better OS.
Is it already avalaible somewhere?
It is looking pretty big, I need to get one of these in the hand before deciding I think
It is not that big and the big screen is a must!
I’ve heard that this handset doesn’t support Multi-Touch. Is that true? If it is, I need to think over.

after android 2.0 or higher update it should have multi-touch
i think only current 1.6 limits multi-touch after update it should be resolved
According to SE – Multitouch will be added after the os upgrade (whenever that will be)
Dear ######,
Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson support centre.
I have complied some answers to the questions that you have raised, please see below:
#1 Does the device itself support multi touch? I am aware that the the
current OS Android 1.6 does not.
The handset has a capacitive screen that is capable of multi touch for features such as pinch zooming. This feature will be implemented by the upgrade to 2.1
#2 Does the device have an internal digital compass which would show
direction in google maps?
The X10 does have a magnetometer that acts as a digital compass.
#3 Will android 2.1+ be coming to the Xperia x10 in 2010?
The handset has been confirmed to be upgraded to 2.1, however there are no time scales for this, developement is currently working on implementing the Timescape/Mediascape to 2.1.
Should you have any further questions do not hesitate to ask.
Kind Regards,
Paul Conlan
