BGR - Sony Ericsson Rachael UI 

Great job sony ericsson, looking forward to this

I caught that as well. Good for SonyEricsson.

it looks really clean and responsive, most likely thanks to the snapdragon chip. sony was smart to jump on board with google. but i think htc is going to do better in terms of android phone sales. sense ui looks alot more like android than rachael ui.

the technology is there, but i haven't really seen it used to its full extent on a phone yet.

Yup, I am aware of that now. But I haven't heard anything about them getting Androids.

android is open source you dont need a store to install new things, however i believe there is the android marketplace google's equivalent to the app store (Y)

It looks fast because it is running on a mobile device emulator, not actual hardware. I don't know how fast or slow it will be on actual hardware but this is running on a computer. Search 'Android Emulator' on Google.

idk why people thinks resistive technology is bad.... It can tweaked to be as responsible as capacitive.

LOL...that's freaking true! Basically, Apple was able to put simple things in a simpler way. That worked for some so-called smartphone users. I like x10 big time and hope its real touchscreen's gonna be fast.

I noticed that too when it said he was eating Hot Pockets

I think it looks better than the iPhone interface

agreed. if priced at something like $700 and no carrier.

BoyGenius -- could you comment please: What I read is that SonyEricsson's "Rachel" is essentially a well-developed skin over the android OS beneath it. But that HTC's "SenseUI" is a more extensive integration of a user interface with android, not just a cosmetic skin. PLEASE ADVISE! I want to buy one of these asap! thanks

I bet we won't see them in the U.S. How come we never get the cool phones first or sometimes not at all.

I don't think Android supports resistive screens. That's what I heard at least.

I hope T-mobile will get a phone like this. All the sexy phones go to AT&T and all the cheap looking phones go to T-mobile :(

dont forget the exception of not commenting on old ass posts.

Iphone doesnt even have UI that comes close.. it's just a bunch of icons on a home screen...

I want this phone, but knowing how when it does come to Canada, it will be Rogers exclusive and robbing me a $80/month.

how would you know that....? have you ever seen one?

Android is not laggy... The hardware processors are slow... Xperia has double the mhz as the typical Android phones... on a better chip... so I doubt it will be laggy...

laggy? what phone do you have and its laggy if you have a different rom ported to a different phone android always optimizes the roms to work on the phones smoothly sooo i dont know what you're talking about by laggy...

looks wired ... htc hero < 3

find a more perfect device than a G1 running full sense ui and then we'll talk. thats literally everything you would need/want in a mobile device.

Google's gonna take over all of the computer markets. Android came out about a year ago, and they've already got 2 HTC phones, and this great looking Sony phone on the way. Not to mention the Verizon/Samsung Droid coming out next month with near double the specs of the G1. I also read that 50% of cell phone users are supposed to have Androids by 2012. If this is any indication of how Google Chrome OS is going to do, then Apple and Microsoft are fucked.

Looks great if its legit. Although I hear the screen is pressure and not capacitive? Thats a let down. If it was capactive, if i had to choose now Id take this over the Hero. i also think its funny that on everyone of these kinds of videos you always have apple hateboys knocking the iphone. apple understands the importance of the user interaction with a device, and thats why the iphone sells. Is it perfect? no, but no other device is either.

no appstore so it'll never be as good as the iphone

It's good but it can't be like iPhone 3G and 3G S so iPhone wins Sony XR loses

HTC Hero UI looks better

US always get the shitty phones from other companies. for ex. HTc touch pro 2, they all look shitty for t mobile, sprint, verizon.

Utter glossy crap

yes it looks very ugly
