  Wow! I had been hearing (reading) of some rumblings for a while now about Sony Erricson bringing a new GSM to market! Most of the news bored me as most of the Sony's to this point were just that to me: BORING! So today I learn that Sony Ericcson's XPERIA has been introduced! Most notable on the hardware side of things is the Arc-sliding keyboard to give you a better angle for veiwing. But once its slid open, check out the 800 X 480 screen! Thats right! 800X480! HSDPA for high speed internet, WM6, GPS, and FM Radio! No word on price, but if its typical of Sony, I am betting it will make the iPhone look like a bargain! Minus the AT&T two-year of course . . .
The bottom line here is that on the surface anyway, this phone looks to include it all! Remember the Sony Clie's? Remember how they took Palm and improved upon it? Kind of how HTC is doing now with WM06? I have my fingers crossed that Sony will do something to make the UI a little different! This could be a phone to watch! The full qwerty keyboard to me anyway, loaded to the hilt, GSM quadband and nice looking! I bet its considerably lighter than the similarly equipped HTC TyTN II but we will ahve to wait and see to be sure . . . Below are the specs taken from the SE web site
