On Friday, I went to get a Droid, the new Motorola phone on Verizon running Google’s Android operating system. Here are some initial reactions.

It’s my first Android phone. It replaces the Samsung Omnia I had running Windows Mobile, a touchscreen-only phone with too many design flaws to name. I still have my iPhone for work, which I love as an email and gaming device but never used as a phone.

As for the Droid…

Sony Ericsson (SE) has unveiled it’s flagship phone, the XPERIA X10 in an official press release. The handset will be releasing Q1 2010, and will be the first in family of phones set to release during the quarter. This particular phone is of importance due to it being the first SE handset based on the Android OS.

SE is banking on their UX platform which has a heavy graphical UI. The platform will work along with Open OS and will feature many applications, with heavy emphasis on social media. SE has stated, “The XPERIA™ X10 is the first mobile phone to truly humanize the way people interact with their phones.”
