It seems like a while since we had Xperia X2 news to share however, apps developer Brosvision have just posted up their new social panel that has been built specifically for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2.
Featuring custom launch icons, status updates, auto feed refresh and 3 colour schemes, the SocialLive panel brings Facebook feeds including videos and photos direct to your X2 handset’s homescreen and is available as a free download from the Brosvision site.
Sony Ericsson are offering users from around the world a chance to win the Android powered Xperia X10 in Sensuous Black. The competition ends today but, they may hold another competition soon as it appears they previously held the same competition a couple of weeks ago. To enter the competition you must have a Facebook account and “Like” the Sony Ericsson page. From there they have a tab which takes you to a Sony Ericsson Competition App to enter. All you need to do to enter, is share your first and last name, along with your country of residence. You also need to answer one simple question; Which Xperia X10 feature brings all your music and videos together? To make it even easier, there’s a choice of three options, TimeScape, MediaScape or Face Detection. If you’re one of the lucky winners, Sony Ericsson will send you a message through Facebook with further details on how to claim the handset.
The competition and information is not associated with Facebook.
This promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Facebook.

For avid Facebooker’s, here’s some good news from Microsoft. Version 1.2 of Facebook for Windows Mobile has been updated. There are two new main features, which most would agree are long overdue. You can now like a post as well as add to the comments. The Facebook app can be updated from the Marketplace. Also if your marketplace app has been updated within the last week, you now have the choice to install the Facebook app to your memory card instead of the inbuilt phone memory. Currently, it’s only available from the US marketplace but, other regions should see the update soon.
If you haven’t tried the Facebook Panel for the Xperia X1 yet, PhonesReview have posted up a video demonstration of the Facebook Panel.
The video starts right at the beginning with selecting the panel and launching it. The Facebook panel will log you in automatically to your account from there the “bubble bump” screen will appear. The bubble bump display shows yourself and your friends in bubbles, which can be selected. If you select a friend, the panel allows you to send them a message. You can also keep track of who’s updated their profiles lately with the color coded bubbles. A green bubble means that your friend has been active, while a white bubble means they haven’t got any updates.
The video also shows the panel in both portrait mode and landscape mode. You can view the video after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
Facebook which has both an iPhone and BlackBerry applications is now moving to another mobile phone using another mobile phone platform. Yes, the latest Facebook conquest is none other than our much anticipated mobile phone Xperia X1 which now have a Facebook panel of its own.
Gigaom is reporting about it, although no official words are available yet from the Facebook blog but the Facebook panel is now available at the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 Developer site.
It will really be interesting to see Xperia X1 owners right now who will install this app and find out how it compares with the iPhone and Blackberry Facebook apps. Would it be as robust and fast loading as the iPhone Facebook app? Hopefully, I get to test this panel when I get my Xperia X1 soon.
Of course, having Facebook as a panel would not really create a big interest among mobile phone users, enough to convince them to get the Xperia X1 despite its high price.
