I got one of those media alert emails today, and while it speaks specifically about Sony Ericsson’s C905a and W518a phones, it’s pretty tempting to consider the impending release of the company’s hotly anticipated X10 Android handset in the new light of this press release. It’s just a postulation on my part that the super-buzzed X10 might share the same fate. In fact, I kind of hope it doesn’t. Most of us would need to finance this phone with little or no interest.

Recent news is that the device will cost $879. Yes, $879. I haven’t seen any indication that SE will diverge from their plan to sell direct so I won’t expect any subsidies from AT&T if this phone does turn up at my local Sony Style. As of this moment, it seems that Sony Style will merely have the ability to set you up with plans from Ma Bell, and not any sort of contract bargain. Looks like I will need to win the lottery before I can grab one of these for myself.
