The Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 is the successor to the Xperia X1 and runs Windows Mobile 6.5. Sony Ericsson did not reveal a specific release date or pricing, but, according to the company, it will be available in select markets in early Q4.

The Xperia X2 features a similar design to its predecessor with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a 3.2-inch WVGA touch screen. Sony Ericsson also added something called the SlideView feature that notifies users to missed calls or new messages and provides quick access to them.

The smartphone still features an Xperia panel interface and comes preloaded with 14 panels. There are 16 others available for download, including ones for Skype, CNN, and Google.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 measures 4.3 inches tall by 2.1 inches wide by 0.6 inch deep and weighs 4 ounces.

When released, you'll have a choice of a silver or a black model.
