Sony Ericsson XPERIA Rachael set to become X10 instead of X3


Some new leaked info claims that the upcoming XPERIA X3 codenamed Rachael won't be called X3 as previously suggested. It's most probable name will be XPERIA X10 instead and its expected release is February 2010 - just in time for the MWC 2010.

As rumors have it, the new Android-based XPERIA should be announced in the beginning of November, however as the new information suggests, it will become available only several months later - in February 2010.

As a tipster with insider knowledge reports, the XPERIA X10 has a impressively large screen and it's ultra thin plus it feels quite light. The interface looks spiffy and does not resemble the HTC Hero UI. So far the preliminary XPERIA X10 specs that we have posted in our rumor section seem to be valid exactly as leaked before.

Well, we have to wait to see whether any of all this stuff becomes true, however in meantime the XPERIA X2 is due to become available soon and you can read our first impressions here.

Coming Soon


Nokia N920 showed its fancy face for the first time. The N900 successor is rumored to be a touch-only device with a huge 4.13-inch capacitive screen, ARM Cortex A8 CPU, 32GB internal memory and Maemo 6 OS.
Well that wasn't such a surprise, since the rumors for the N920 flooded the web since the N900 announcement. While the N900 sports a hardware full QWERTY keyboard and a smaller resistive screen, the N920 should leave the keyboard and upgrade the screen to the capacitive technology allowing for multi-touch input.
Following the N900, the N920 will also come with GSM connectivity, along with HSPA capabilities. All the other connectivity stuff will be also onboard - Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth. The standard 3.5 mm audio jack is not forgotten along with the microSD card slot. The camera will remain the same as the N900 - a 5 megapixel unit.
The CPU is rumored to be the same as the one on Nokia N900 - the 600 MHz ARM Cortex A8 embedded on the OMAP3430 platform. The Maemo OS is supposed to be next sixth iteration, which is quite doubtful given the fact that ver. 5 has just been announced with N900. No matter the version however, the N920 UI is expected to implement more portrait-oriented applications and interface in contrast to the all-landscape N900.

Samsung S3650


Samsung S3650 Corby is a very fresh looking handset too - distinct shape and bold paintjobs. It won't really make much sense in adult hands but the Fashion Jackets - bright-colored interchangeable rear covers - are perhaps as strong a selling point as the capacitive touchscreen. There're two extra Jackets in the retail box to make the time spent with the S3650 Corby even more personal experience.

On the social side, the Samsung S3650 Corby offers Facebook, MySpace and Twitter integration, while photo and video sharing are taken care of with direct uploads to YouTube, Flickr, Picasa and Photobucket. You can update your status on the various social networking sites and receive updates from your friends via a neat pop-up notification feature. All that is a tap away on the 2.8" capacitive touchscreen.
