Sony Ericsson Xperia

The Xperia X10 has now been released in various countries across the world.

The X10 is available in the UK on all networks; Orange, Vodafone, O2, T-Mobile, Three and Virgin Mobile. All networks will sell the black model, while the white model is an exclusive to Orange. Depending on whether you get the handset from a high street retailer, the best offer could be quite different. From the network operators themselves, the X10 is available for free on £30 or £35 tariffs subject to a 24 month contract. While online retailers, are also offering the handset on the same tariffs but, will offer half price line rental by redemption, or cash back. The Xperia X10 can also be picked up on pay as you go, or sim free and unlocked.

While over in India, the handset has gone on sale for 30,000 INR ($660) unlocked. It’s also available in Japan but, pricing is currently unconfirmed.

Australia will also be getting the X10. There isn’t an exact release date yet but, pricing is listed as $1099 AUS. If you’re in Canada, Rogers will be picking up the contract for the X10 and are preparing for the launch.

In the UK, the Xperia X10 has been released on T-Mobile. It’s available for free on a £35 a month contract, with the contract lasting 24 months. You can order the handset from T-Mobile but, they note it can take up to 10 days for it to be delivered.

Orange will also be stocking the handset but, they list the X10 as coming soon. Both Orange and T-Mobile will be offering the black version of the handset. While if you’re after the white model, it will be an Orange exclusive. There’s no information on tariff pricing for Orange but, it’s very likely to be the same.

Expansys have listed both the X10 Mini and the X10 Mini Pro for pre-order. Initially the release date for both handsets was listed as the 16th of March but, this quickly changed and is now listed as the 24th of May. The X10 Mini will retail for £299.99 and the X10 Mini Pro will retail for £339.99. The X10 Mini Pro features a slide out QWERTY keyboard.

If you pre-ordered an Xperia X2 in the UK from Play.com it’s likely you’ll have been very disappointed. The company stated the handset was available for pre-order and would start shipping from January 29th. Upon that date, the handset was listed as out of stock. The status of the handset has now been updated again. This time the X2 is listed as being available from February 17th.

Play.com have sent out an email to those who registered their interest in the Xperia X2. You can now pre-order the Xperia X2 for £499.99. The handset will be released on the 29th January. The Sony Ericsson store still have a due January notice, while Vodafone, interestingly has a page not found error. Following the link from before, a page not found error is shown. You can now also “view” the X2 from the select a handset option but, this also takes you to a page not found error. Perhaps later on we’ll see an updated page by Vodafone.

The Xperia X2 release date has finally been updated on the Vodafone website, while the SE-Store retained it’s December release note. Now the SE-Store and the Vodafone website are both reporting the handset to be due January 2010. Hopefully this will be the last push back for the handset. Whether this will have any impact on the release of the Android powered X10 is unknown currently, but it’s likely that it will also be pushed back.

The Xperia X2 was set for release this month and on the Vodafone UK website, it still says “Coming Soon due November” but with today being the last day of November, this seems very unlikely.

The SE-Store however has adjusted it’s description and says the expected launch is December 09. Let’s hope it will come out then, preferably before Christmas as I know it’ll make a great gift for many people, admittedly a gift from themselves no doubt but, a great gift none the less.
