Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 Touchscreen Phone Price Confirmed [Xperia X2 Pricing Slipped by Sony Ericsson Exec]

We’ve covered the already much hyped Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 touchscreen phone here on TFTS a couple of times but, until now, we’ve been unable to offer any unit pricing details but, thanks to a purported Sony Ericsson executive getting a little loose lipped, it seems that the Xperia X2 will come in at under what has been initially speculated.

Initially rumoured to come it at around a pretty hefty $1200 (circa 800EUR) at the point of release it now seems, should this report prove founded (and we should stress at this stage that Sony Ericsson are yet to either confirm or deny the report) that the Xperia X2 is set to retail for around $880 (circa 600EUR) – which, when viewed against the likes of the HTC Touch Pro 2 seems pretty reasonable considering the Xperia X2 touts an 8.1 megapixel camera with dual flash (to name quite possibly its biggest draw).

We await either confirmation or a denial from Sony Ericsson concerning the purported Xperia X2’s price point and will, of course, update you should either prove forthcoming but, in the meantime, and specifically for those yet to become acquainted with what the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 brings to the table in terms of features, here’s a quick, at a glance rundown.
