Mighty Gadget Blog: The latest technology news & reviews in the UK

Danish website Mobil got their hands on some documents about Sony Ericsson’s first Android phone. Codenamed Rachael it is expected to be released later this year as part of their XPERIA range.

The phone will contain the Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon platform, which should give the phone a speed of 1GHz and faster HSPA speed of up to 7.2Mbps. The Snapdragon platform also has great 3D graphics capabilities which obviously opens many doors for games capabilities etc. 

Although all the specs haven’t been released the phone will have an 8MP camera with auto-focus a 3.5mm jack and a mini-USB connector.

We first saw the Sony Ericsson Satio back in February at Mobile World Congress under the guise of the Idou.

While I am not sure if the change of name is an improvement it should still be a great phone as it has some very impressive specifications including:

• 12.1-megapixel camera (World’s first)
• Xenon Flash 16x digital zoom and geo-tagging capabilities.
• 640 x 350 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD
• Symbian Series 60, 5th edition
• Micro SD support 16GB, 8GB included
• HSDPA, 7.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 3.6 Mbps

The Sony Ericsson Satio should start shipping from October.

Sony Ericsson have announced their newest Symbian powered smart phone. The Idou will feature a  3.5-inch panel 640 x 320 resolution16:9 touchscreen, a 12.1 megapixel camera with a xenon flash.

It will also pack "full media consumption” which I can only assume means it will play all the files you throw at it and access the net.
