Sony Ericsson X10 too big, but the X10 mini too small? Say hello to the X8, which sits right between the two at a size thats just right. Just like the other Xperia handsets, the X8 run's Googles Android OS, with all the amazing services Google offer and the thousands of apps available to download.
On top of that Sony Ericsson have sprinkled the same magic that made the X10 range standout from the mass of other Android handets. You get the cool MediaScape app that looks at what your listening to and find your more songs and video by the artist, and the TimeScape app that untangles the mess of calls, texts, Tweets, FaceBook and emails that we get bombarded with.
Timescape - meet your mates:
Sony Ericsson Timescape lets all your communication with a person come together in one place. Facebook updates, Tweets, texts and missed calls - all gathered in chronological order, so you don't have to open loads of different apps to see what's going on.
