MWC: Sony lifts the veil on two new phones

Feb 15 2010, 3:00pm CST | by Mark Raby

Sony Ericsson, which received a whopping 1% of the mobile phone market share in the US last year, has revealed its latest phone lineup, which includes the Xperia X10 Mini and the Xperia X10 Mini Pro. As their names suggest, they are both smaller versions of the Xperia X10, which was announced last year.

Both devices will sport a 2.55-inch QVGA touch-screen. The X10, along with these two new versions, will sport Sony's new Timescape application, the first utility of its kind that will merge all user interactions with individual people. In other words, all your texts, Facebook info, and Twitter followings will be cooperatively scanned and organized.

All X10 models will come with the Android operating system, a first for Sony. They also contain a 5-megapixel camera, GPS with image geotagging, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connectivity. The only difference between the Mini and the Mini Pro is that the latter will come with a full slide-out Qwerty keypad.

Sony Ericsson also officially unveiled the Vivaz Pro, which was leaked earlier this year.

All of these phones are slated for release some time later this year.
