A couple days ago, you may have seen the Sony Ericsson “Shakira” get a new name (X8) with a little less hip jiggle, which came a week after the announcement of the smaller X10 mini. Well, folks, looks like Sony Ericsson has given us a goal for release of the newly dubbed X8, and that goal is Q3 of this year. Its form factor takes the stage as the mama bear, right between papa (X10) and baby (X10 mini), and Sony Ericsson hopes that many will accept its size as just right.
The X8 is set to be dressed down with Android 1.6 with a highly customized UI, which includes Timescape and Mediascape. Don’t like it? Too bad, Jack. As with it’s smaller cousin, the X10 mini, that’s just the way the cookie crumbles. But don’t feel too down, because right around the corner from its 3″ screen, this phone is showing off a 3.2 MP camera, wifi, 600MHz of processing power and a 1200mAh battery. You can also change out the back covers.
The price on the X8 will be around €259 ($318).
