A press release graced our inbox and we were pleasantly surprised at what it said - the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 is official, Sony Ericsson dusted off the Walkman brand with the Yendo and finally, the Sony Ericsson Cedar joins the GreenHeart ranks.

As we've already heard Sony Ericsson now reconfirms it's working to bring Android 2.1 to their XPERIA X10 lineup, while the the big X10 should get 720p video capture too. These updates are coming in Q3 this year.

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 is like a grown up X10 mini. It features a 3" HVGA (320 x 480) screen with a scratch resistant surface, a 600MHz CPU running Android 1.6 with the same customizations that the X10 mini has and Timescape too.
