MWC 2011: Sony Ericsson overview

Sony Ericsson XPERIA Pro

The XPERIA Pro is the new QWERTY droid from Sony Ericsson, which features basically the same specs as the XPERIA Neo.

We found the four-row rubbery QWERTY keyboard to be pretty comfortable for typing. The general performance of the device also seems pretty decent.

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA Pro will come with an Office document editor out of the box.

XPERIA Pro second encounter

The XPERIA Pro is Sony Ericsson's second QWERTY-packing Android and they've incorporated the same UXP improvements as in the Neo, with focus on performance and multimedia.

But they've also incorporated some really clever features in the email client on the Pro. In landscape mode, the email client is divided into two panes - the left houses a list of emails, while the right displays the currently selected email (similar to how desktop clients work).

If you slide the keyboard open while in the email client, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Pro will bring up options to reply to the current email, all emails or forward.

Check out the video demo to see the cool email client in action along with the other improvements to the phone:

Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc

We also stumbled upon the Misty Silver version of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc and though you might want to check it out. We certainly find it way better looking than the Midnight Blue unit we previewed.
