Late last night Sony officially announced the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 smartphone.  It is SE’s first Android device.  Some specs include a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, a 4-inch capacitive touch display (480 x 854 pixels), an 8.1 megapixel camera with autofocus, A-GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi.  It also has a 3.5 mm audio jack, a micro USB connector, and it comes with an 8 GB microSD card.  The most exciting news involves the personalized user interface.  Android 1.6 will be running underneath SE’s elegant UI called Rachael.  We have seen Rachael before but never in such an official and polished manner.  SE was keen to mention that the XPERIA X10 is the flagship device in a line of Android-powered phones; glad to know there is more where this comes from.  I’m looking forward to seeing how the XPERIA X10 device performs when it releases Q1 2010.

For now, be sure to check out the gallery below for some official press shots and peek after the break to see the phone (and the stunning Rachael) in action.
