Video preview of the first Sony Ericsson Android device (Rachel)... pretty !

Ok, the device looks gorgeous: Hardware design, tech capabilities (8mp camera, Snapdragon 1Ghz,...), and streamlined UI with many new social capabilities (like the HTC Sense).

 

However... when I look at this.. I really wonder: do I want to consume my twitter stream in a funky 3D flow ? I receive hundreds of tweets an hour ! What is the point of seeing the last 10 tweets, even if it is a cool 3D UI ? Are these guys testing their ideas on realistic data sets or are they just throwing eye candy ?

Agree... but then i think about something else. Will samsung and nokia release their own android devices? Any inside tips?

No need of insider tips: Samsung Galaxy is coming out this month, and the Nokia Android rumor is strong (http://www.guardian.co.uk/global/2009/jul/06/nokia-mobile-internet-phones).
