Sony-Ericsson Xperia X2 Price: Php29,500

We also got more hands-on time with the Sony-Ericsson Xperia X2 during the Windows Phone press gathering today. Incidentally, the reps of SE Philippines also sent out word the other day that the device will be formally released on February 1, 2010.

The handset still runs Microsoft’s latest Windows Mobile 6.5 OS and got a bit of face-lift and upgrades:

The Xperia X2 will have a retail price of Php29,500USD 503INR 42,616EUR 479CNY 3,661, way lower than the price of the Xperia X1 when it was launched back in 2008 for Php42,500USD 724INR 61,396EUR 690CNY 5,274 (See my review here. Disclosure: that handset was given to me by SE.).

Wow, that’s almost half the price of the X1. They released the X2 this early in the hopes of recovering after the not-so-stellar performance of the X1.

I like the design, except the features. 29k? I think they should lower the price.

A nice phone. :) If it were released earlier…

It’s specs seem lacking and not much has changed since the X1. Considering the SRP, Nexus 1 is cheaper and it packs a more powerful hardware.

Personally if I had 29k to spare, I would want to see x10’s release price first. If it’s manageable I’d add some more and purchase that instead.

And there’s still the N1 to consider…
