Sony Ericsson Rachael gets specs and a proper name - XPERIA X3

21 July, 2009
It’s only been a short while since we last saw Sony Ericsson Rachel heading our news column. Online retailer Expansys has just published the specs of the device and revealed the name XPERIA X3...

The X3 seems good now, but I wonder whether it's charm will wear off by the time its released, well that is if the release date is H2 of 2010. By then Nokia, HTC and Samsung would be showcasing some pretty impressive phones. Time matters in the mobile world where every new phone is subject to incredibly short shelf-life. Pity, honestly because I hardly seem to enjoy one phone when another better, faster and absolutely wicked phone is announced among such fan fare. We're spoilt for choice.
Well, I'm still in love with the Diamond 2 and I hope the Diamond 3 doesnt come along so quick... Oh well, competition. Sigh!

        It seems like a great phone, but it will not be so great anymore when it is released in 2010.

                    by the way this phone seems gr8, im glad SE is releasing such phones maybe they will make a come back... i hope so its not nice for SE to disappear from the list of mobiles...

                    by the way i am a Nokia fan :) but this doesnt mean i should talk bad or none sense about other brands. i respect all brands

                            It has been a while since SE releasaed a new phone. At least, this seems quite real. Just means it is a matter of time before models like Satio and Aino (really interested in that, only if it will support full touch). Going to watch over how X2 will perform and see if SE is actually keen on coming back into the phone arena

                              BRYNN, 22 Jul 2009Whats got me angry is this false interpolated 30fps video r... moreHi Brynn,
                              It could be because your video play back program is off?
                              I haven't tested this myself,.... but this is the first time i've heard of an FPS issue.

                              I wouldn't be surprised if cellphone companies "round off" fps specs.
