If you live an active lifestyle and need a phone to match, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Active will definitely interest you: it's the company's first dust proof and water resistant Android smartphone.
The XPERIA Active runs the latest Google Android platform for smartphones (Gingerbread 2.3) and comes with a Sony Ericsson custom UI overlay that takes advantage of the smaller screen size compared to most phones on the market. Users can place up to 16 apps in the corners of the XPERIA Active's home screen and can add widgets to individual home screens like regular Android smartphones.
This compact but chunky phone has a 3in touchscreen - with scratch resistant glass of course - but only a moderate 320x480 resolution. Apparently the phone has 'wet finger tracking' so that it'll work even when you and it are drenched; it also comes pre-laoded with sports apps and can work with the usual ANT+ range of heartbeat sensors. The XPERIA Active also comes with a 2GB microSD card and a micro USB cable for data transfer and charging
We're looking forward to seeing review samples of both later this year - with a release pencilled in for Q3 2011.
