Sony Ericsson X10 launching 3rd November

The 4.1-inch touchscreen-toting Sony Ericsson X10 is rumoured to be formally announced at the start of next month.

We've heard a fair bit from the X10, AKA Rachael, in the last few weeks but evidence suggesting that the handset will get a full début on the 3rd November, is mounting.

A landing page over at www.sonyericsson.com/whatsnext has gotten the internet a-chatter with talk of the X10's official launch.

Right now the page consists of nothing more than a placeholder stating 'Sometimes there’s a thin line between the extraordinary and the magical. Did we cross it? Watch this space on November 3rd'. However, below this is a link to the homepage that displays a referral code that explicitly mentions Rachael.

In related news, there is also a video on YouTube purporting to be leaked marketing material for the upcoming X10 launch - if it's legit, it's the first confirmation we have of the 32GB onboard storage.

If you'd like to check out that leaked marketing material for yourself then take a peek below, be warned though – it's really poor quality.

With all these rumours and leaks flying about, official word can't be too far away.
