Things are looking good for T-Mobile to pick up Sony Ericsson’s Android-powered XPERIA X10 in 2010. Last we heard, XPERIA X10 whitepapers hinted at the existence of an X10 variant with support for T-Mobile’s WCDMA Band IV (1700Mhz) frequency. Now, thanks to an FCC filing, we have confirmation that the X10 will indeed be capable of pulling down full 3G data speeds on T-Mobile USA’s wireless network.
The X10’s FCC approval on the 1700Mhz frequency isn’t a guarantee that we’ll see the sleek Android phone hitting T-Mobile in the coming months, but it’s an encouraging sign. With a little luck, we’ll see the XPERIA X10 and its 4-inch capacitive touchscreen, 8-megapixel camera, 1Ghz processor and slim form-factor offered on T-Mobile’s Even More financing plans. For Sony Ericsson’s sake, we’re hoping T-Mobile picks up this monster of an Android phone and subsidizes its likewise monstrous price tag down to reasonable territory.
We’re looking forward to putting hands on the XPERIA X10 at CES 2010!
