Time to save up! Xperia 2 on the way…

Looks like it is time to save up… Xperia X2 is on its way with leaked pictures and now leaked specs of the device. I have to say, it is looking as if SE is ready to dominate the Windows Mobile arena with its X2!

Here are the leaked specs, as reported by Pocketnow.

  • 8.1mpx auto focus, VGA @ 30fps (MP4 HQ)
  • 3.5 inch WVGA OLED (increased from 3.0 from X1)
  • GPS, aGPS
  • 3.5 mm headphone jack
  • Accelerometer
  • Faster processor
  • 512 RAM
  • Custom Windows Mobile 6.5
  • XPERIA Panels are modified with plenty of innovative features (PS3 functionality)
  • Upgrading to Windows Mobile 7 is supported by Xperia panels

Accelerometer, increased RAM, a higher resolution Camera!, and more… My eyes are all set on this one. Judging from the lack of announcements and all, this might not come out till the end of the year, or perhaps earlier next year. Good! Gives me time to save up! :)

In my opinion, the new Xperia would be a better alternative. More RAM, Accelerometer, a way better camera, larger screen (though i do love the compactness of my Xperia but X2's increased size would be highly welcomed), and a faster processor (whatever that is...). Oh and it'll come with WinMo 6.5 - now i'm doubtful that SE would release a ROM for X1 with that... :(

In short, if i were to change my current Xperia for another, right now X2 looks like the best upcoming WinMo device in the near future - not to mention, i don't think i can live much without panels anymore even though i usually barely use them.

If you guys look at the screenshots of the silver Xperia it shows that the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 will come with 256 MB of RAM and a Qualcomm MSM7200 chipset with a 528 MHz processor just like the XPERIA X1.

Are we really getting a big update?

My question to you then:

Is there such a big improvement possible?

For me an improvement would be: a slightly bigger screen, faster, and for the design: a little thinner.

They should stick to the hardware keyboard and the panels.

Xtrakt – A 3D Game for Xperia

Now who was it that insisted that Xperia lacked a 3D chip? Thanks to itje for basing his latest Custom ROM on the leaked R3AA ROM and seperately providing CABs to some of the goodies available in the new ROM version, you can get your hands on ‘Xtrakt’ - a new 3D game by Sony Ericsson – right now! The game has really great graphics and runs quite smoothly on the device. Though it warns not to run any other applications when playing the game, it ran just fine with SPB Screenshot running besides it. Best controlled with a stylus, you control the main character of the game on a future motorcycle destroying monsters. Doesn’t sound too appealing, i know, but the game is actually good! Better than many games that i’ve played on my iPhone and opens the door to better gaming on Windows Mobile. (True that an accelerometer would have been quite handy in handling the bike, but stylus/finger control of the bike sits well with the game). To download head on here . You do not need to flash to th...

SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 – A Quick Review

SPB has finally released Mobile Shell 3.0 and simply put, it is Amazing! Once installation completes and the shell is launched, you are taken to a sleeker version of SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 home with message information, notifications, calendar, and weather. This screen is known as the Professional Home screen. But wait! with the flick of a finger up the screen, the home screen is switched to the lifestyle home screen which provides a completely different look and feel. This lifestyle home screen is fully customizable allowing the user to place widgets and application launchers of their choice on the screen as needed. Apart from application shortcuts and widgets, the user can also add calendar entries, images, contacts, and more. Furthermore, the lifestyle home screen is split across three pages – flick to the right or left to change to the page – thus allowing you to manage similar widgets on the same page. Clicking on the lower-left button activates the SPB Carrousel – a 3D interfac...

Growing Panel – More to it… (Updated)

It turns out that the Growing panel has more to it than what was initially believed of it. It is not just a cool animated panel, but has a lot more to offer. First of all let me start off by complementing the animating panel. Having run it for a couple of hours now, the first thing i noticed was that it kept changing with time. The sun went down and the moon came up, and slowly made across the sky… and now the moon is almost out of sight and the sky a bit brightened, the sun should be showing up soon. (unfortunately i won’t be able to catch the sun rising as i’ll be asleep by then…) Next are the small insects on the panel. Bees flying by, worms crawling on the plants, fireflies in the air, and snails on the ground. Hit the bee or the ladybird and the phone buzzes, hit a snail and it hides itself inside its shell and stays there – hit it again to get it moving again, hit the firefly and it flickers… This is definitely a panel worth having! Now… the functionality on the panel. As e...
