i've found something interesting on gsmarena. can this be an insider-comment?
Absolutely fabulous phone, that's coming just as it's planned, and here's explanation:
X10 aka Rachel is based on Cortex-A8 processor by Texas Instruments (TI OMAP 3430) - same hardware that's inside Satio!
So hardware is ready and proven!
The key here is software! Cortex-A8 is supported in Android 2.0 (Éclair)
Very first phone with Cortex-A8, and Android 2.0 is Motorola DROID! Actually Motorola has one quarter exclusivity on Android 2.0, so all other phones based on Android 2.0 will arive in 2010, including X10!
So far SE traditionally used GSM Summit in February to anounce new phones, so it's logical to presume that will be the day of official lounch of their first Android powered phone!
Another reminder: so far only Snapdragon based phone - Acer A1 runs Donut (1.6) - that's 'cos basically Snapdragon is ARM11 on steroids, and Cortex-A8 is truly different ARM architecture that requires truly dedicated and optimized version of Android, and that's actually what 2.0 is! |

Rachael is based on Snapdragon afawk. not Omap 3430. i don't know if Snapdragon's Scorpion CPU is based on Arm Cortex A8 but it is for sure that snapdragon is more efficient because of 45nm process (OMAP3430 afaik is 65nm). besides, the graphics capabilities of 3430 (except for the iphone) are nothing compared to the AMD Z430 GPU inside the snapdragon platform. and since Rachael's timescape uses those mind blowing animations, it is percieved that a better graphics processor should be used.

It's android, I think it will be G900's successor, but the phone is just ugly. Look like J132's successor. 
The best mobile phone brand died with Sony Ericsson's death. Shame on you Sony for killing it! And, of course, for ruining the Xperia brand... Mediar's Site |

So could it be A300? The statusbar icons aren't android's.  I think it's Android because of the background wallpaper and the clock. They look Rachaelish. Don't you think? But the screen is 2.2 inches, as I can measure it comparing with the buttons.

Seems to be a candybar android. HMM. I do remember android was being built as a multi-form platform. I mean like for candybars and touch screen phones. So this is certainly interesting. If it is android in a candybar I might just cave but if its A300 well then lets see... |

Um, this won't be touchscreen I guess? I would love to see a new candybar with touchscreen [a la G900]. I wonder if SE would release another like this....

@Xell
Are you sure it doesn't have a touchscreen? I mean, why not. G900 and G700 were similar...

the screen size is not more than 2.2 obviously ; that's make it impossible to be touchy
and i am sorry i have no source on my words but it's just a a guessing and maybe wrong |
