Hi!
A Sony Ericsson touchscreen phone with an 8MP camera, the Xperia X5, has been glimpsed on the internet, and set the blades of the rumour mill spinning.

Sony Ericsson is one of the mobile manufacturers thought to have a high-end touchscreen device 'in the works', so the speculation comes as very little surprise.

But it should also be noted that the rumours consists of little more than basic specs and spy pictures at present. Given the SE fanboys' penchant for mocking up handsets, this could turn out to be nothing more than fiction.

8GB and a touchscreen? Innovation or what...

But the specs, which say it will have an 8GB internal memory along with Wi-Fi, 3.5G connectivity and a huge 3.2-inch touchscreen aren't too fantastic, more along the lines of what SE would be thinking were this device true.

However, with the Xperia X1 not even on the shelves yet, you'd have to wonder about the model number... why jump straight to five?

So, either this is a made-up handset, or we're about to see the next four in the nascent Xperia family any time now.

The model number of the handset has not been officially announced now, has it? Mind you, they could change it a week before the announcement if they so wished.

Why is a model number troubling you so much?

I must admit that I'm actualy very excited about this phone. I'm a BlackBerry user, but i also like to try the "top phones" when they come out. I was not impressed with iPhone 3Gs to be honest,..

The android phones i've tried the G1 and the Magic were leaking in hardware imho,.. sure android is nice (but needs more power). I think 1GHz in X5 (if the specs are true) will be enough to power the X5's specially edited android for SE.

And that screen?! Is that just amazing or what? 4" 852x400? Video recording in HD would be nice also,.. but we'll see

@ Shadow11 easy because X2 is Vulcan...

http://forum.xda-developers.c[....]st.php?p=4174434&postcount=207

here is another source of rachael being real areamobile.de

sorry for the google translator but i'm to lazy to translate it by myself


An insider said, however, compared Areamobile.de that Rachael has fallen far short of completion was removed.

He had the equipment already in hand and reported that only a developer environment on the touch screen mobile phone runs a real user interface, there would be yet. Instead of exciting 3-D surface of the informant could only disdainful black and white make-up menus, which operating system running on the mobile phone is therefore uncertain. Until now, the question of Android. The Rachael is apparently still at a very early stage of development, crashes and slow reactions with waiting times up to 20 seconds are currently normal. Before the end of the year is hardly compatible with the touchscreen smartphone is to be expected.
