Update: Live session over. Thanks for all that joined-in. Unboxing, open review video and first impressions will be up at my xperia sub-blog.

Yup. Heads-up because Chippy just bought his first ever Android phone!

I’ll be unboxing it this evening. Check out the details at a new sub-blog I’ve started just to track my experiences on the Xperia X10. We’ll have JKK of JKKmobile with his 2.1 Droid and i’ll have the Archos 5 Andoid tablet to test against.

Hope to see you later.

I Bought An Xperia X10, Started A Blog. Live Unboxing Tonight. « My Xperia X10.

Update: Added to product database.
I make no apologies for the increased amount of ‘phone’ news that you’ve seen on UMPCPortal recently because quite frankly, this new generation of phones is very interesting for web-focused users. You need to be watching this because CPU and screen sizes are allowing devices to move out of the ‘mobile web’ space into the ‘full web’ space.

Later today I’ll be summarizing all the high-end WVGA phones in an article but in the meantime, here’s another one that has just launched. The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.

It has a 4” WVGA capacitive screen running on a 1Ghz Snapdragon CPU with the Android OS. It will come with an 8.1MP camera too which will  position it right at the top of the tree when it launches in Q1.

Engadget have already put up some thoughts and highlight the two special SE features that will give you access to a flipchart of messages interleaved from a number of online social and email services, and allow you to access video and audio content online. These software apps and services are known as Timescape and Mediascape.

Pricing is unknown but based on the price of the HTC HD2, i’d say we’re looking at a no-contract launch price of over 600 Euros.
