The Xperia Ray isn’t a hero phone to speak of, although its base specifications aren’t too shabby. I’m off to have a look at one this afternoon, but in the meantime, Sony Ericsson’s announced that it’ll launch at the end of the month, exclusive to Vodafone.
Phone sizes keep creeping up, to the point where I worry using a 10.1-inch tablet will soon become the norm. If rumours are correct, Sony Ericsson’s thinking big with their first glasses-free 3D phone — a possible PlayStation phone, perhaps?
My how time flies! The Mini Pro was $630 when it launched in August last year, so $99 could well put it into your consideration basket against other recent sub $100 Android phones. Sony Ericsson upgraded the Mini Pro to Android 2.1 last year, but there’s been nothing beyond that. [OzBargains via Lifehacker]

Let this be a lesson to all of you – you can’t believe everything you read on the internet. Vodafone NZ has tried to drum up excitement for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play by claiming on Twitter that the entire shipment of phones was stolen. Turns out it was nothing more than a poorly thought out marketing stunt.
Despite telling the world that it wouldn’t happen, Sony Ericsson has changed its tune, announcing that the ageing Xperia X10 will in fact be getting an update to Gingerbread.
