Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 gets official

Man – ever heard of raining on someone’s parade, Sony Ericsson? Today’s the first day of Nokia World, a big ol’ event dedicated to, well, Nokia. That isn’t keeping Sony Ericsson from holding their own seperate bash, where they’ve just announced the Xperia X2, the followup to last year’s rich-blooded QWERTY-sliding X1. We’d heard rumors a few days ago that Sony was going to make it official this week – and sure enough, it’s the real deal now.

While SE says that it’ll be available in “selected markets” by Q4, there’s no word yet on pricing. With that XPERIA label slapped on there, though, don’t expect it to come cheap.
