We’ve seen the Sony Ericsson “Vulcan” in black and even got a decent look at its specs, but here’s something even more interesting. We have now got you a shot of the X2 smartphone in a silver colour scheme. Nothing in the way of new info, but a new paint job and fresh eye candy is always welcome.
For those who came in late, the Xpreria includes 8.1-megapixel camera with auto focus, video recording in VGA resolution @ 30fps (MP4 HQ), 3.5-inch WVGA OLED, GPS, aGPS, accelerometer, faster processor, 512MB RAM, custom Windows Mobile 6.5 and upgrading to Windows Mobile 7 being supported by Xperia panels.

Other data plans are available at $10, $40 and $60, and any VMU Top-Up card can be used. Designed to be extremely durable and compact, the Broadband2Go device combines a variety of innovative features into its tiny form factor including an integrated microSD slot allowing for the seamless storage and transport of up to 16GB of files, photos or videos on a hot-swappable, removable SD storage card.
Virgin Mobile USA’s Broadband2Go requires no activation fee and there are no roaming charges. Customers have a real-time usage meter to monitor and check “Remaining Megabytes of Use” at any time.
