Sony XPERIA

Sony just launched a new line of phones dubbed the XPERIA. Looks like they are aimed directly at phone such as the Sidekick and Ocean.

The unit has a full QWERTY keyboard, a 3-inch touchscreen, WiFi connectivity, 400MB of storage onboard, and microSD expansion support. It runs on a modified version of Windows Mobile, which depending on how implemented can either make it or break it.

Look for it to hit local carriers later this year.
