It took Sony one year of development and disproportional more ambition and creativity to finally release the successor of the Xperia X1 media handset flagship, aptly dubbed the X2. Despite a novel appearance, it features an overhauled battery lifetime, namely 10 hours of talk time and 500 hours in stand-by mode, a scratch-resistant 3.2-inch WVGA touch screen, a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, quad-band capability, WiFi and GPS, Bluetooth and an 8.1-megapixel camera, all in all running on a efficiency maximized WindowsMobile 6.5 suite.
