The powerful Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 has arrived in Japan via phone carrier NTT\/DoCoMo. The phone, known in Japan as simply “Xperia,” is compatible with FOMA HIGH-SPEED, Docomo’s HSUPA\/HSDPA data-communication service for extra-fast 2.0 Mbps up and 7.2 Mbps down.<\/p>\n

The carrier is boasting its great processor speed (1GHz), Android, design, custom rich applications such as Timescape and Mediascape. I also liked how there was good emphasis on the Infinity button, which allows a user to find more information about the artist that is currently playing, such as history, photos, discography, etc.<\/p>\n

Check out this great site I found that shows off more of the Japanese Xperia interface<\/a> in many screenshots. I was also impressed with Sony Ericsson Japan’s official Xperia site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The phone will of course be available in black and white colors.<\/p>\n

There are few differences in this version compared to the others found around the world, but it does of course have Japanese as its native language and a few programs tailored for Japanese consumers (pictures courtesy of Impress Watch!<\/a>, such as:<\/p>\n

Provides access to one of Japan’s largest music download services with focus on obvious genres such as J-Pop but also many other genres. You can download entire albums or music videos, or preview songs just like the iTunes store on the iPhone. It’s not entirely clear if songs you purchase through the phone can be transferred elsewhere, though. The audio is 128kbps AAC-LC, and video is H.264\/AVC (640×480, 30fps, 1.5-2Mbps bitrate). You can also set downloaded songs as ring tones.<\/p>\n

Let’s check out another unique element found in the Japanese Xperia:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

NTT DoCoMo also showed off a new portal interface for not only Japan’s Xperia, but also another Android phone in their line up – the HT-03A. It’s sort of the Japanese Android market, as all the programs are of course in the Japanese language. Below, we can see a recommended list of applications. There is also support and discussion features.<\/p>\n

Sony was also showing off ServersMan running on the device, which is a web server that runs on your phone. It offers an easy way to save files from a phone to a PC and vice versa. Users who log on to the application in the phone get instant access to the phone’s files on serversman.com. You can also manage your personal website. Just upload your HTML, pictures, video etc. to the ServersMan public_html folder and turn on Web publish. Users can also mash-up GPS data and Google Maps on ServersMan and publish them as a web site. Here’s a screenshot:<\/p>\n

There was many other cool Android applications hitting Japan that you can check out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Japan’s NTT DoCoMo President and Chief Executive Officer Ryuji Yamada (L) and Sony Ericsson Chief Executive Bert Nordberg were part of a big press conference in Japan to show off their new XPERIA phones during a photo opportunity at an unveiling in Tokyo January 21, 2010.

Sony Ericsson has no plans to delay the launch of a phone that runs Google Inc’s Android operating system in China (despite recent tensions), Nordberg said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
