Sony XPERIA X2 Release Date Confirmed for Q4

The rumors that started with a leak a while back have just been
confirmed with Sony officially announcing the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2
smartphone — which is the successor to the Xperia X1 that released
last year.

The new Xperia 2 is slimmer than the old version, packs a 3.5 inch WVGA
OLED touchscreen, an 8.1 megapixel camera with 30fps video recording
capability, GPS, A-GPS, a 'custom' Windows Mobile 6.5 OS which is
supposed to be as fast as the iPhone along with an option to upgrade to
Windows Mobile 7.

The Xperia panel interface is still there with the 14 panels pre-loaded
on the smartphone and 16 others that are downloadable — each being
meant for a specific functionality.

There is also a Remote Panel that allows you to control and access
media content on a PS3 over a network.

Xperia 2 comes with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard that makes it easy to
type out long emails or documents. There's also TV out connection for
hooking up with a projector or another display.

Vodafone has bagged exclusive carrier rights for the Xperia X2. No
pricing details has yet been announced so far, but what we know is that
the release date has been confirmed for early Q4 when it should be
available in Elegant Black and Modern Silver flavors.
