Sony Ericsson Xperia X2

Windows Mobile 6.5

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 runs on Windows Mobile 6.5, the latest version of Microsofts smart phone operating system. With the new upgrade, Windows Mobile is given a new user friendly interface that lets users access all their favourite content from the homescreen. Windows Mobile includes Pocket Office which lets users open and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents, can run multiple applications at once and can download and install new apps from Windows Marketplace to further enhance the user experience.

Touchscreen

The Xperia X2 features an impressive 3.2 inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels providing sharp images and natural colours. Use your fingers to navigate through menus, the built in web browser and you multimedia gallery; once you've used a touchscreen phone you'll never look back! The X2 even has a built in accelerometer which automatically rotates the screen to match how the phone is held.

QWERTY Keyboard

Editing office documents, firing off emails and composing text messages is made easy thanks to a slide out QWERTY keyboard. The Xperia X2 features a 4 row QWERTY keyboard which helps to provide a PC like user experience on a portable device.

8 Megapixel Camera

With a built in 8.0 megapixel camera with auto focus, face detection, an image stabiliser and a powerful flash, the Sony Ericsson X2 takes quality pictures that you will want to share with your friends. Store them in your phone, email them to friends or upload them to your blog.

Music Master!

The Xperia X2 features an impressive music player supporting a host of file formats including AAC and MP3. Store music on the internal memory, expand it further with a memory card and listen to them on the bundled headphones or using your own thanks to the 3.5mm audio jack

Wi-Fi

With Wi-Fi you can use your phone to connect to a local wireless network (W-LAN) to connect to the internet. This offers a cheap (sometimes free) method of connecting to the net to download emails, files, or check on your favourite website.

HSDPA

HSDPA offers a similar benefit to a 3G network that GPRS offered to the GSM networks. It offers a higher speed data transfer with a compatible handset such as the Sony Ericsson X2 on Vodafone. HSDPA is commonly known as Mobile Broadband.

GPS

With built in GPS you can use the Xperia to locate your position, plan your journey, and as a general SatNav device, when used in conjunction with compatible mapping software. You can also Geo-tag photos taken on the X2's camera so you can tell friends where you got that Kodak moment.

A-GPS

A-GPS on the Sony Xperia is a network service that can locate your position to within 100 metres by using a clever technique called triangulation. By sending a signal to three cell masts, A-GPS will work out your location by the location of the cells and your distance from them.

Web Browser

With a built in Web Browser you can access internet sites directly from your handset. Check the latest scores, look up train times, get a weather report, or find the answer to the question in the pub quiz. The X2 also offers full support for YouTube for hous of entertainment. With the inbuilt web browser you have the power of the internet with you, wherever you are.

Bluetooth 2.0

Bluetooth 2.0 is the next generation of Bluetooth connectivity. With Bluetooth 2.0 one of the biggest advantages is the possibility of listening to music with a compatible wireless headset in stereo. Less wires, less mess, more noise.

Java

Java is often a forgotten feature on many phones, and is probably used in many ways without you even realising. If you play games on your phone, it is likely they are java apps. But java is so much more than games. It allows you to add extra functionality to your handset by installing third party apps to the phone. Add email functionality with Gmail, add a web browser from Opera Mini, add a business directory with Yell.com or keep an eye on a new purchase on Ebay.
