engadget mobile has posted a picture of what is described as the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2. It is far from guaranteed to be genuine, but the screen looks bigger, it appears to tilt more and is it just me or is that a Psion 5MX style keyboard? If it turns out to be true, it is about time someone recreated the best mobile keyboard ever.
“A tipster tells us that the device you’re looking at here is Sony Ericsson’s codename “Vulcan” — better known as the X2 — which would presumably replace the X1 at some point in the next few days, weeks, months, or years. Though the picture’s small, you can clearly make out the X Panel button in the lower left of the phone’s front and a Windows key in the upper left of the keyboard, which adds a dose of credibility — the company has, after all, put quite a bit of time and effort into pimping its panel interface SDK, and right now, the X1 is the only device that supports it.”
I’d love for someone to use the Psion keyboard. Now that has got to be the best mobile keyboard ever.
Hi isn’t it nice, almost the resurrection of the 5 mx I bumped onto your site because I’m using a 5 MX, now always sitting on my desk but I also got an emulator of it on my 3 computers. I like it so much but had to change the ribbon once (we made one working out of two machines!) My search actually was more regarding the encrypting program called “Crypto” as I have a problem with it on the emulators. If I don’t close the encrypted file immediately after using it, the file I work on becomes an ordinary unprotected file that does not desapears when I close the program or shut the computer down and that file is not protected anymore! I have to delete that duplicated file every time it happens to be safe, so now I don’t put sensitive stuff on the emulator which is quite inconvenient with my laptop away from the physical 5 mx! Yes this does not happen on 5 mx and I have no idea how to stop it to happen.
But I was reading 4-5 years old posts to try to find an answer, which is a little futile! I still hope someone has an answer for me!
May be the Xperia x2 will be a total replacement with added emulator and encrytion!

Hmm, I’m watching a demo of i on U tube, it does not look anything like the pic above? it’s just like a palm top with no k board??
