Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 pictured again?

by Chris Ziegler posted Jun 5th 2009 at 6:26PM

We couldn't make heads or tails of that thumbnail image we got sent a couple days ago alleging to be Sony Ericsson's X1 replacement -- it's not that we necessarily didn't buy it, it was just to friggin' small and weird to figure out what was going on. Well, when it rains, it pours, because a forum member over on fanklub.se has given up the goods in the form of a couple significantly better shots. We can already sense that there'll be a fierce debate brewing over whether this looks better than the phone it's destined to succeed, but the X2 definitely ups the specs with an 8.1 megapixel cam, flash, and what could be an extraordinarily usable keyboard (final judgment on that will have to wait until we play with a unit, but you've got to admit, anything would be an improvement over the first model). Still no word on when this might come to market or even be announced, unfortunately. Peep another shot after the break.

This seems to remind me of the kid on the playground that wants to join in but just sits on the sidelines. Pre - released, looks great! New iPhone - Wow! Cupcake - My my! And a few mystery shots of the X2 sitting on a table unloved by human hands...

Given Sony's record, my dog will have just decided on a smartphone when the X2 finally comes out....in time for CTIA next year.

Not necessarily so. The Satio was announced in February, and it'll be released in October. i think a part of the delays regarding the X1 were due to it being their first Windows Mobile device. In any case, i'd expect that Sony Ericsson doesn't want to repeat the delays of the X1.

i just wish this had a lens cover and a xenon flash. i would've like to see this match the Satio in the camera aspect, 12MP sensor aside.
