Has Rogers Put a Price on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10?
Mar 31st
Last week we reported that Rogers had been to advertising the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 as “on deck” and a launch was fairly imminent with no other details readily available. Well, MobileSyrup received a tip today that pricing has been tentatively set at $149.99 on a 3 year term and $549.99 out right, not too shabby if you ask me. Also updated is a release date rumored between April 7th and 14th. This is all we know for now on the latest Android powered smartphone to hit the Rogers lineup, but will keep you posted with updates as we get them.

And now a word from SonyEricsson…
Feb 18th
Remember my article investigating the happenings of Nokia? Wondering why they weren’t making much noise at the MWC? Well, I did some digging on another major handset player to find out what they were doing to shake things up a bit. Though I didn’t find too much, I did find an interesting article from Engadget that covered SonyEricsson’s Head Bert Norberg, and boy did he have some interesting things to say during their press conference.
One claim is that
“SonyEricsson was asked to build the so-called Google phone before HTC… and it turned down the opportunity. Fearing brand dilution”
He then went on to say…
Sony Ericsson is committed to building only its own-branded hardware and will not be a subcontractor to anyone
Strong words from a man who’s company has yet to release its OWN Android based handset. Then again he MUST know best regarding bringing in revenue…it is HIS company, right?
What do you think? Is SonyEricsson due for an Android handset of its own? Would you buy one? Leave us a comment!
Sony Ericsson spices it up a bit
Feb 15th
Well, SonyEricsson has definitely started the MWC (Mobile World Conference) with a bang today for all you Android enthusiasts. BoyGeniusReport is reporting that during the pre-game show (Conference starts tomorrow in Barcelona, Spain) SonyEricsson officially unveiled 2 new devices in the Xperia line running Google’s beloved Android platform in the X10 mini and X10 mini pro and keeping their beloved Symbian OS on the Viva Pro, the big brother to the originally announced Viva. The X10 mini and X10 mini pro are similarly spec’d handsets with the X10 Mini Pro sporting a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The Vivaz Pro is a slightly modified version of the Vivaz and offers a QWERTY keyboard, a touchscreen interface and the Symbian S60th 5th edition operating system. We can hope to see these new phones all launching around Q2 2010. Excited to see SonyEricsson running Android? Leave us a comment!
