If the printing of brochures is any indication, the Sony Ericsson "Rachael" has moved one step closer to release. Known as the XPERIA X10 Infinity (Skip to bottom), the will be the first Android-based offering from SE camp. While the video doesn't amount to much more than a 1-minute pan and scan YouTube walkthrough of the sheet, the specs confirm that the first Android-based handset from SE looks to be a real knockout.
- 1GHz processor
- 4.1" OLED capacitive touch screen
- 8.1MP camera w/ touch focus, smile shutter, face detection, ISO settings, and more
- 32GB internal storage
- Specially made apps for twitter, Facebook, and MySpace
It should be noted that while the brochure indicates 1080 Full HD, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will record video in high definition. As pointed out on GSM Arena, it could be a "cheesy marketing statement" by Sony, similar to how they advertise their digicams. The reality ends up being that the camera can be set to capture 1920 x 1080 pixel images (2 MP). However, the 8MP camera has us hoping for the best.
UPDATE: We had no sooner published our post when we visited a couple of our favorite Android sites (androidandme & phandroid) and found that a mini-site has gone live for Sony Ericsson's "What's Next" campaign. Poke around the html source code and you'll see references to the "Rachael" code name and mentions of "infinity". In fact, the logo sitting at the top of the page is called infinity.png, which leads us to believe that the handset will be called Infinity.
Foe those who prefer the picture over the words, we put together a little composite to help tell it.
Hang in there - We'll find out what's next come November 3rd!

would this have any chance of coming to verizon or sprint?
We agree, that Xperia has a bitter history on older models. Hopefully, this X10 release will turned out to be a happy-ending.
Most likely going to T-Mobile.

Has T-Mobile ever had a phone this powerful (for its time)? I would love to see it on T-Mobile, but they don't seem to go for powerhouse phones like this.
First time to see Sony-ericcson all "balls-deep" on a new smartphone in particular an android phone. We agree, that Xperia has a bitter history on older models. Hopefully, this X10 release will turned out to be a happy-ending. But still, this phone has a far way to go on competing the iPhone kind or the Killer-Droid

Maybe 1080p output? That would be pretty cool.
This too nice to go to T-mobile....but if it is then I'll be picking it up in a heartbit.
Id rather that phone than the Verizon Droid!
T-Mobile won't get it. Not in UK anyway. T-mobile always get the crap phones but decent tariffs. Orange will have the exclusively probably.
I think we'll have to get in touch with the bank to get a loan... with these specs, coming from SONY Ericsson, I'll bet you it is going to be the most expensive Android device in the market.
I want one anyway
Please make it capture 1080 Full HD Video... that would be a killer device!
Looks like the best Android phone till now
it would sure steal the thunder away from verizon's droid real quick.
I'd rather have a Droid. This thing is waaay too big and unwieldy and it has no physical keyboard. Not to mention that it has all that power but doesn't come with Android 2.0. Fail.

I would suggest you to go for Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 because it is wide 4-inch capacitive touch display, 8.1 megapixel camera with LED flash, and a thoroughly tricked out Android skin. Moreover the finish is excellent, rubberized back slightly arched which helps in keeping a steady hand, the burnished metal strapping way that emphasizes and sharpens the edge through the display itself and also absolutely rigid.
