Sony Ericsson and O2 are delighted to announce that the XPERIA™ X10, the first phone in a family of phones to deliver a consistent user experience where communication truly becomes entertainment, will be available in O2 and Carphone Warehouse stores nationwide on Thursday, 8th April 2010 from FREE. (Post-Pay depending on tariff).

Building on Sony Ericsson’s entertainment heritage and combining rich graphics with intelligence capabilities, the XPERIA™ X10 introduces a new UX platform that will evolve across the product portfolio and expand over time, continuously introducing new features and capabilities.

The UX platform builds on top of the Open Operating System and creates a unique Sony Ericsson user experience by combining best-in-class entertainment features with signature applications, unrivalled integration of social media services and a rich graphical user interface. The XPERIA™ X10 is the first mobile phone to truly humanise the way people interact with their phones.

Russell Keating, Marketing Manager, Sony Ericsson Ireland said,

“The XPERIA™ X10 and the family of phones launching in the first half of 2010 underpin our commitment to an open and multi-platform strategy that maximises choice for the consumer and delivers the best possible consumer experience.”
The XPERIA™ X10 is a fantastic example of our make.believe philosophy because we are pushing the boundaries of what is possible and demonstrating that anything consumers can imagine, we can make possible. With the X10, we are raising the bar we have set ourselves with entertainment-rich phones like Aino and Satio by making communication more fun and playful, multiplying and enriching opportunities to connect,” added Mr Keating.

Aideen Chambers, Head of Supply Chain at O2 said: Smartphones are changing the way people use their mobiles forever and we are delighted to add the Sony Ericsson X10 exclusively to our handset range. At O2 our strategy is to bring our customers the very best experiences and innovations in mobile communications. Including devices such as the Sony Ericsson X10 to our range is key to us achieving that.

Introducing signature applications like Mediascape and Timescape™, the XPERIA™ X10 lets consumers organise everything in their phone in an intuitive way:

Sony Ericsson Timescape™ manages all your communication with one person in one place. Browse through your conversations the bright way to check out your Facebook™, Twitter™, photos, emails, and texts all in one go.

Sony Ericsson Mediascape is the smart way to get all the music, photos and videos you want from your favourite friends and artists. It accesses content from everywhere – your phone, YouTube™, PlayNow™ – and presents everything for you

Intelligence capabilities, integrated into Mediascape and Timescape™, can automatically recognise connections between contacts, content and media. By recommending alternative ways to communicate or guiding to new media experiences, consumers can discover more in a truly open way. For example:

Pressing the new “infinite button” guides you through the connected world, aggregating all your interactions with one person into one view
Intelligent face recognition features recognise up to five faces in any picture, automatically connecting them with your social phonebook and all other related communications with that person.
Sony Ericsson’s open approach gives consumers maximum choice and with the XPERIA™ X10, users can download any application that they want direct from a wide variety of stores including PlayNow™ and the Android Market™, co-creating an experience that is entirely unique to them.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 will feature O2 TV so users will be able to keep up to date with the latest sports action as it happens on Sky Sports, or catch the latest news as it breaks on RTÉ or Sky News. The Sky News & Sports package which normally costs €5.98 per month will be offered as a FREE OPTION to O2 customers who purchase the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.

The XPERIA™ X10 will be available exclusively from O2 in Sensuous Black from Thursday, 8th April from FREE (Post-Pay depending on tariff).
