If the Xperia X10 Partners Up, It’ll Be With AT&T

Anyone hoping to see the Sony Ericsson X10 on T-Mobile, look away now or you’ll be sorely disappointed. Phandroid noticed that the American version of the X10 won’t support the necessary frequencies to connect to T-Mobile’s network. Yup, even though the specs page lists support for UMTS/HSPA 800/850/900/1700/1900/2100, Sony Ericsson is going to be localizing…

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 to Cost $880? What The?

Yesterday we lamented that the Android-powered X10 lacks a certain je ne sais quoi, despite its beautiful 4-inch display, Nexus UI, and 1GHz Snapdragon processor. Now more bad news: The WSJ reports it’ll cost about 6000 Swedish kronor ($880) off-contract. https://gizmodo.com/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-hands-on-why-arent-my-pants-o-5407805 No wonder they “desire to have a carrier relationship” to subsidize the price.
