Sony Ericsson Xperia active Loves it Wet and Wild!

Calling all sporty types: Mountain Bikers, Skiers, Skydivers, Free-climbers, Bungee Jumpers – you know the type. I dread to think how many phones they most go through. Praps that’s why Son Eric has invented the Xperia active.

If you like it a bit rough then you’ll probably need the kind of phone that can put up with being submerged for up to 90 seconds as well as being dust proof.

Give a great big bear hug to the Xperia active – the smartphone that you can use when things get moist thanks to the wet finger tracking, ensuring perfect touch navigation whether wet or dry.  The thing even has built-in GPS, a barometer and compass. It’s like a survival knife that can be used to order a pizza and phone home!

For you real sportsters out there the best selling point must be the realtime heart rate and pulse monitoring (enabled by ANT+ wireless networking technology), which, when buddied with the preloaded iMapMyFitness app, transforms the phone into the perfect training companion.

The phone kit includes a stereo headset with attachable ear hooks and an arm case and wrist strap to keep your phone close. There’s also a Micro USB cable for managing your media and a 2G memory card for all your entertainment.

Don’t worry if the only athletic thing you do is watch Lara Croft swim – this outward bounds phone is kitted out with a 3-inch 320 x 480 pixel Reality Display with Mobile Bravia Engine (like the new ray), a 5-megapixel auto-focus camera with HD video capability and a 1 GHz processor which is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

Sounds like the Xperia active should last you no matter if you’re rough rambling or just want a phone that wont complain if you get some sand and water on it.
