Some more Pureness related video goodness.
Hello, everyone! I’m Aaron Duke, Product Manager for the just announced XPERIA X2. I’m at the Sony Booth at the IFA Conference in Berlin but wanted to respond to your request for some official technical specifications of the X2.
Here you go:
– The X2 has a vibrant 3.2 inch TFT LCD
– Available user flash memory up to 110 MB and we include a 4GB card with every phone; Total flash is 512 MB & RAM 256 MB; the X2 has microSD™ and microSDHC memory card support up to 16GB
– The chipset inside is the Qualcomm 7200A with 3D hardware acceleration through OpenGL ES 1.0
More to come…
UPDATE: the X2 white paper is available to download here, it should answer any further question you may have.
This morning at an event highlighting our new brand direction and its alignment under Sony’s make.believe brand message we showed the next device to be launched under the XperiaTM brand to a select few journalists.
It’s called XperiaTM Pureness and will launch during November 2009. Pureness is a really simple design phone, based around the core concepts of talk text and time but dressed up in a highly designed, sculpted shell and created around the idea of the handset as a work of art.
We’ll announce more details closer to when the phone launches but for now feast your eyes on the images below.
It’s official – the X2 will be coming to the first few selected markets early in Q4. We’re in the final stages of talks with the various operators right now and will have more news re: which markets and which operators in the coming weeks.
The handset is the first of our second generation Xperia devices and will be the first to ship with the new Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system. It’ll also come packing an 8.1 megapixel camera, a 4Gb micro SD memory card and 13 pre-loaded panels.
We’ll be publishing the full list of specs later today along with some videos (and will update this with a link when we have.) You can also check out our Flickr account for some product shots) and follow our Twitter stream for some live coverage of Sony’s press conference later today.

Just in case anyone missed the announcement – Microsoft has put out an official release date on windows mobile 6.5 and yes, we will be one of the first to release a phone on the new system.
Our developers have been working with 6.5 for some time now and we’re really excited at the potential which the new platform offers. Talking of which, we’ve got our own announcement coming up this afternoon. Check back later today or subscribe to our Twitter stream to be the first to hear about it.
