Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 received its official announcement today. Boasting Windows Mobile 6.5 and relying heavily on the X Panels UI, the XPERIA X2 flaunts an 8 megapixel camera and a 3.2-inch touchscreen.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 was eagerly expected and finally has its moment. The new XPERIA will come directly with Windows Mobile 6.5 on board with the XPERIA panels integrated into the user interface. The long rumored 3.5-inch OLED screen turns to be false, as the X2 has a 3.2-inch WVGA TFT one.

The rest of the specs include full sliding QWERTY keyboard, 8.1 megapixel camera with VGA@30fps recording and LED flash, all sorts of connectivity options (HSDPA, Wi-Fi with DLNA, GPS, Bluetooth) including a 3.5mm audio jack and TV-out (cable bundled in the box), stereo speakers and a microSD card slot (4GB card in the package).

The CPU still remains unknown, while the memory is crystal clear – 256 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM and 110 megabytes of user storage. The XPERIA X2 also comes with XviD video support.

Here’s an official video that displays the way the XPERIA Panel UI has evolved in X2:

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 will hit the shelves sometime in early Q4 this year. We suppose the launch will be in October, considering the recent Microsoft’s announcement of the Windows Mobile 6.5 availability. There is no word on pricing yet.

The long sought-after Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 is finally ready to make an official appearance. No more teasing, we are about to see its true specs at last and will do so sometime next week. That will come in handy to finally confirm (or disprove) the initial rumor of 3.5″ WVGA OLED.

The first rumors for CPU speed and RAM are probably false, so we are not quite sure what to believe about the touchscreen display. What is certain of the XPERIA X2 feature set is the looks, the Windows Mobile 6.5 with the X-Panels plug-in and the QWERTY keyboard. The 8 megapixel autofocus snapper with LED flash also sounds exciting and is a major boost from the XPERIA X1. There are some unconfirmed but plausible rumored specs – roomy internal memory, GPS and PS3 remote play.

If “next week” means Monday, August 31st, then Sony Ericsson will beat the traffic with the XPERIA X2 announcement – Nokia World is coming September 2nd and we guess some pretty hot stuff will be unveiled there too. So Sony Sony Ericsson better put the hype they’ve built up to good use as the company needs to swiftly change its fortunes. So far rumor has it that it’ll be just the XPERIA X2 on this announcement, which means we’ll have to wait a while longer for the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X3, formerly known as Rachael.
