Sony Android X10 phone in Feb 2010

Pre-order page reveals Sony Ericsson Android arrival date and it's February 2010. Just to remind you.

• 1Ghz snapdragon processor which is a kind of evolution of the Cortex A8 processor used in the iPhone, Pre and Droid, whereas the HTC uses the older ARM 11 - see architecture). I think that means it should be nippier / better power consumption vis a vis cortex A8. However, that's pretty meaningless, since both of those things are strongly determined by what the mobile OS on top of them decides to do. For example the HTC Hero was deemed slow or laggy on release, but a ROM-update has sorted that out.
  
• 854 x 480 pixels - twice the iPhone 3GS resolution  - similar to Droid. 
• 8mp camera
  

but neither of those two things are the real reason to want one - it is all about the Rachel UI. Slick multimedia handling- oh Android may play more media types than the iPhone (not hard), but Rachel UI makes it appear less linux-y and can teach the iPhone a trick or two.
