Sony Ericsson is yet to prove itself as an Android smartphone maker. While almost everybody who is anybody has launched an Android phone already, we’re still waiting for Sony Ericsson to make the Xperia X10 available to the crowds.

The phone looks great in those press release shots and it has more than decent specs and features capable to compete fairly well against its most important rivals, the Motorola Droid, the Google Nexus One and most importantly against the iPhone.

Word on the street is that the Xperia X10 will be available in the UK courtesy of O2. The move has not been made official yet but it looks like the phone has already been spotted in O2 UK’s accessories shop. That surely must mean the Xperia X10 is coming soon unless O2 will be happy to sell just accessories for Sony Ericsson’s first Android smartphone.

As you expect we don’t have release dates and prices for you but chances are you’d get the X10 for free provided that you’d be willing to get a more expensive monthly contract.

Here are some of Xperia X10’s most important features, just in case you forgot:

* GSM GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
* UMTS HSPA 900/1700/2100
* UMTS HSPA 800/850/1900/2100
* 4.0-inch scratch-resistant WVGA touchscreen with 480 x 854 resolution
