Rogers confirms Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 price at launch event

X10_3_Header
On Monday night, at the Revival bar in Toronto, Rogers and Sony Ericsson held and launch party for the new Xperia X10 Android handset. We were there to cover the event, and we will be posting some exclusive interviews with the President of Sony Ericsson US, Anderson Teixeira, and Raj Doshi, Rogers VP of Mobile Product Management.

We also got some hands on time with the phone, and the Timescape and Mediascape UI was surprising not as laggy as some early reviews had indicated. The phone is sadly only running Android 1.6, and we were told that 2.1 is not coming until late 2010, which is a very long time to wait…but the hardware feels solid, the screen is big, and the camera is very good.

At the event, and on their Redboard blog, Rogers officially confirmed the price of $149.99 on a three year voice and data plan, but not the outright price. However this has been leaked, on MobileSyrup.com, and it will be $549.99, though this could change come launch day. Jay Malinowski from Bedouin Soundclash was also there for some musical entertainment, and it was a fun event. It was great to see Rogers and Sony Ericsson investing so much in promoting Android, and we hope the X10 is a successful phone that grows Android’s mind and market share in Canada.

Stay tuned for our video coverage of the event. For more info on the X10, and to pre-order it, you can visit Roger’s X10 page here
