Today we hit up Sony Ericsson’s shindig in NYC for some one-on-one time with its XPERIA X10, and so far (it’s a non-retail prototype) it looks like SE has a decent device on its hands. Of course, we all know the X10 is running Android 1.6, but SE has created its own UI, or UX …

Sadly, it looks like this hot new hardware is going to marinate for another year before it becomes available to the public in November 2010. Microsoft’s plan is to release the camera unit, which registers body movement so that you …
We’ve barely had any time to breathe since the DROID and Eris have been released, and we’re already hearing that updates may be on their way. These over-the-air updates are said to fix a number of issues with the new phones. So far, it seems that Verizon is fully aware of the bugs and other …
