The Google Android-powered Sony Ericsson X10 handset will definitely attract customers – but not necessarily those in the market for an Apple iPhone.

This is according to Conrad Longmore, editor of Mobile Gazette, who was asked whether the former will present competition for the latter in the smartphone sector.

He said that although Android 2.0 will certainly tempt consumers, these will not necessarily be the ones who would otherwise buy an iPhone.

"Perhaps the people who should be worrying most of all are Microsoft and Nokia," Mr Longmore explained.

The X10 was unveiled last week in what could be seen an attempt to revive the manufacturer’s performance and provide an experience for users that combines entertainment and communication.

President of Sony Ericsson Bert Norberg said the multi-platform strategy to be rolled out in 2010 – including the X10 – was aimed at providing the best possible products for consumers.

What do you think of the X10 so far? What do you prefer?
