Another SE Android Handset Before The Year Is Out? Options

[scotsboyuk]

Sony Ericsson have hinted that there may be a possibility, probably very slight though, that Rachael may not be alone in the Android stakes when announced next month. Commenting to British mobile magazine 'Mobile Today', Sony Ericsson mentioned that there would be 'at least one' Android' handset announced by the end of this year. Of course that statement doesn't tie Sony Ericsson to actually announcing a second Android handset alongside Rachael, but it would actually make a good bit of sense if they did so.

So far Rachael has appeared on the tubes a number of times through various 'leaks'. By the time the announcement date rolls around, probably sometime next month, it will already be a handset that the digerati are acquainted with. How much more impact would they have if they also decided to slip in another Android handset on the side, maybe nothing as flash as Rachael, but still something to catch the eye. Indeed, if it were a non-touchscreen Android handset, as some have speculated Susan may be, then it would actually be, in some ways, more newsworthy than Rachael herself.

Of course this could all be pie in the sky, but we'll just have to wait to find out ... Let us know what side your money is on in the comments.

I hope so, maybe it'd be nice to see a high end phone (Rachel) and a mid-range one to compete with the HTC Tattoo.

I think an announcement may be expected in November

Android is booming the crap outta every other mobile platform right now. I lost track of all new Moto, SE, Samsung and HTC phones being announced :|

The sooner they come up with an android phone the better for SE.

Have you used Android in comparison to WinMo? It's so much better it's ridiculous.
For me I think Android is a joy to use, so easy, and it's open source so there's lots that can be done with it.
The main thing letting it down at the moment is underpowered devices, once we get past outdated processors and lacking RAM it will be amazing...that combined with Android 2.0 and we have a winner

Yes i have indeed compared them, on the same device actually.
I also agree with you... android really is awesome!
but i also expect a lot from the new windows mobile versions

and windows mobile is entirely for the user, you don't have to root it and crap like that....

I'm not a fan of WiMo by any means, but I think M$ are really trying to push the boat out now. They have to really, the competition is hotting up immensely and if they don't they;re going to be left behind.
