Reviews

  • Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

    Sony Ericsson has finally satisfied our curiosity and thrown the covers off its first Android-powered handset. A veritable powerhouse, the X10 features a 1GHz processor and a high resolution 4-inch display.

    Improved, but still deeply flawed. We'd suggest checking out the lesser fruit from the Navman tree first.
