As if the phones released in the XPERIA line weren’t expensive and up market enough, SE have decided to release a truly upmarket phone with the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness, which is a very quirky phone meant for those who like extraordinary design rather than extraordinary features.
All the other XPERIA phones seem to have an edge in the technological aspect of the phone, but this phone is, admittedly, pure! The phone is a fashion phone, in and out, and the specs sheet is so un-smartphonelike that the main claim to fame for this phone is the fact that the display is transparent. Yep, you read that right, the display is transparent!
The trend for see – through mobile phones had been started earlier this year at the Mobile World congress held in Barcelona earlier this year when LG released a phone with a see – through keypad in the form of the LG GD900 Crystal. However, SE decided to go one step ahead and release a phone with a see – through screen, rather!
This is what truly gives this phone the ‘wow’ factor. The phone has a very sleek look and the fact that you can view the screen from both sides of the phone is, well, quirky, to say the least! This feature isn’t exactly useful as the screen isn’t a mirror image, but, to heck with all that, when you have a phone which is meant just for aesthetic pleasure, why harp on the unnecessary factors!
Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness Reviews have harped on the fact that the phone has a monochrome display but, frankly, when you have such a strange 2 – way display, then why bother with the fact that it isn’t colour. As SE themselves succinctly said, the phone is meant mainly for aesthetics and sets aside technological pleasure, which is clearly visible in the fact that the only notable features of the phone are the music player, FM radio and Bluetooth.
The phone will be released in November for 640 pounds although no news on the price of the Xperia Pureness on contract.

One of the most surprising absences during the CommunicAsia show, which was held in the end of June, was the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2, which is supposed to be only the second smartphone to be released by Sony Ericsson which will be running on the WinMo platform. It is also supposed to be the second in the series of XPERIA smartphones, the first being the X1.
Regardless of the fact that Sony Ericsson have still not officially unveiled the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2, there have been plenty of pictures and details leaked with regard to the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2. The most noticeable upgrades given to the X2 seem to be the bigger touchscreen, which is sure to be a hit among fans as it is nearly .5 inches (3.5 inches) bigger than the screen of the X1 (3 inches). The screen will be converted to an OLED display rather than the ordinary LCD screen.
Snapshots of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 show that this phone will also have a full QWERTY keyboard which will can be revealed by sliding the screen to its right. The screen will also change orientation to landscape mode when the keyboard is slid out.
The X2 is widely expected to be released with the Windows Mobile 6.5 platform, which means that, since Microsoft is still working on the platform, the X2 surely won’t be released before fall.
Since mostly pictures have only been leaked, the details with regard to the Qualcomm processor have not been revealed yet. However, the one thing that is clear is that the processor is sure to be faster than that of the X1, and that the software will be tweaked to ensure a higher level of performance. 512 MB of RAM is present in addition to the memory card slot.
