Sony Ericsson XPERIA “Rachel” Up For Preorder On Expansys
They might have lost their lustre to Play.com as the home of breaking mobile leaks, but Expansys still knows how to garner attention when it counts.
They have recently put up a pre-order page for the new Android-powered Sony Ericsson XPERIA handset on their site, complete with specs and a glowing description of the 4″ high resolution display and ‘razor sharp detail’ that can be obtained from the 8 megapixel camera.
The latest XPERIA (codenamed “Rachel” during development) piqued the interest of the mobile community when a tech demo supposedly showing off a heavily customised and very appealing Android interface leaked, believed to belong to the smart phone sequel.
Expansys has not gone as far as to divulge a price or release date, but the mere presence of a handset page leads us to suggest that this phone may actually see the light of day in our lifetime.
All we ask is that the Rachel is quicker coming to market than the original XPERIA, this handset (alongside the 12.1 megapixel Satio) could well be Sony Ericsson’s only shot at the top spot for 2009.
UPDATE: As per the usual game of leaky phone cat and mouse, the Xpansys link is now dead…
