The Sony Ericsson XPERIA is rumored to release in February 2010 but based on some hands on reviews, Sony Ericsson may have their work cut out for them. There were a plethora of websites playing with the XPERIA X10 and we summarized them for you. For the complete reviews and to see more photos, click on the links at the bottom of the post.
Boy Genius Reports – And while SE has added its own UI over Android 1.6, it still feels like a bare-bones Android device. The UI is very functional and it gets the job done, but it’s not as attractive as HTC’s Sense UI. We’re not quite sure what it is about the XPERIA X10, but we’re just not feeling that “wow†we got with the Droid, for example.
Gizmodo – It’s missing that spark, the emotional drippings of OMG, that say, the Droid has. The X10 is perfectly fine. It’s just that everything outwardly belies the specialness of what’s going on inside. The all plastic-build feels just slightly better than cheap, the shape is kind of awkward unless you have gorilla hands, the design—it all just feels, well, incredibly ordinary.
Engadget – it seems that performance is very contingent upon how much content is loaded into the device and what particular thing it’s trying to perform. Sometimes we’d fly through the stacks of faces, while other times we’d sit there waiting for the simplest thumbnails to load up. The good news is that we have until next year to see this thing really come together, and the word is that the software is improving and a rapid pace.

Overall, the XPERIA X10 never gave the reviewers that warm and fuzzy feeling. The software still needs tweaking and the hardware didn’t shock anyone. They all loved the 8.1 megapixel camera and Timescape and Mediascape (features of the Nexus UX formerly the ‘Rachael’ UI) were nice touches.
There is still no official release date or carrier at this time.
