Sony Ericsson brought another unlocked Android smartphone to U.S.
consumers this week with the release of the Xperia Active.
Features include Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread, a 5-megapixel camera, and a scratch-resistant 3-inch display capable of tracking wet finger touches. What’s more, the Xperia Active can also withstand tough weather and climate conditions including a dunking in 3 feet of water for a half hour.
Additional details cater to outdoors enthusiasts or people with active lifestyles. For example, the device offers an onscreen heart rate/pulse monitor and comes with a “Gear Kit” that features a stereo headset with attachable ear hooks and an arm case and wrist strap.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Active retails for $369.99 at Newegg.com and other online outlets and comes in two color options. U.S. carriers supported by the phone are AT&T and T-Mobile, whereas our friends to the north can use the Xperia Active on Rogers and Fido.
