It’s:
Faster than a texting teen,
more powerful than an avid tweeter,
able to leap multiple social apps with a single touch,
It’s a camera,
it’s a phone,
no it’s the Sony Ericsson X10…
That’s right you heard me…
To just call it a phone would be just rude,
Plus it would hurt its feelings 😉
You name it, it has it.
MP3 player… Got it.
Access to social media…To easy coach!!!
8.1 mega pixel camera… Say waaaahhhhtt?!?!
Face recognition, no not the kind that finds a face…
THIS face recognition adds a tab with name of the people in the picture!!!
Memory you ask?: micro SD up to 16GB, 8GB included, Phone memory 1GB
And if that’s not enough there is this little green robot that hooks you up with massive amount capabilities.
Oh did I forget to mention that you can also use it to call people as well…?
My bad..lol.
There is no way that I can fully describe all that the Sony Ericsson X10 is capable of, or that my pictures will do it justice, but I will say this:
If ever there was a chance to hold the future within your hands…
this is it!!!
Being in the hospital with my Grandfather, I have had all the time in the world to play with my new phone, and I LOVE IT!!!
Thank you so much to The Sony Style Blogger Contest for giving me the Sony Ericsson X10 as a prize for being a Finalist!!!
It is currently not available in the U.S, but if you ever were waiting to get a new phone, THEE new phone, this will be the phone to want;
the phone to get!!!

Richard J Holmes says
Now that I read this post, I know that that pretty thing the nurses are drooling over is the X10. I even heard a few doctors speaking about it in the lounge.
The feauters are amazing and as a business man, this phone is truly a dream.
Good luck, and I hope that if the Judges have any sense, they will see that you have the heart to be the Sony Blogger.
I will be seeing you around these hallways for a while.
Stay strong!
Sheryl Holmes says
I absolutely fell in love with your poem/jingle for the phone.
That is absolutely creative!
I am Richard’s wife, my Father in law is in the room next to your Grandfather, I am the lady with the pink sweater all of the time.
You are a true blessing to your Grandfather sweetie.
We often talk about how strong you are, we have heard what your grandfather is going through.
I wish there was a place where we could vote and leave comments for the judges, because I believe my entire family would vote for you, we have seen first hand what an enourmous heart and true passion you have for what you love.
That is the heart of a true blogger.
Sony needs you, more than you need them sweetie.
Love,
Sheryl
