Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X2 Photo’s Leaked

With so much attention being paid to HTC’s Touch Pro II that was launched and reviewed all over the place, another Windows Mobile Power House is getting ready to be released. Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X2, loaded with horsepower will definitely make you take notice!

 

With a slide out 4 row QWERTY keyboard that sports PC type keys, the X2 could give the Touch Pro II a great fight for best mobile keyboard! And unlike the the Touch Pro II, the X2 will not leave you disappointed if you like to take pictures! With an 8.1 megapixel camera with auto focus, the X2 is sure to please. The X2 will also get a 3.5 inch WVGA OLED screen. GPS, AGPS, Accelerometer, 3.5mm audio headphone jack (Ahem, HTC?), and a customized version of WinMo 6.5.

There’s no selling the Sony Ericsson X2 Short, but not unlike the original XPERIA, if the X2 doesn’t see some Carrier support, it will never see the numbers it rightly deserves. We’ll keep you posted on more XPERIA X2 goodness as we get it, but jump after the break for some more photo’s of the SE XPERIA X2!
