Sony Ericsson to make Android phones for Orange

T-Mobile has the G1 and the upcoming G2, while Vodafone has the HTC Magic. So the folks over at Orange probably thought: hey, we could have some Android handsets of our own.

Reportedly, the Taiwanese newspaper Commercial Times says that Orange’s Android phones will come from Sony Ericsson before the end of 2009.

And while the phones will bare SE’s brand, it’s said they would be outsourced to Foxconn – the manufacturer that also makes Apple’s iPhone.

Make a proper link! And what Orange exclusive SE android? That will be a damn stupid move. Never will I see the day of light with this phone.

The consequences of cost cutting and staff reductions I guess. I wonder if they could slip in a Multi-touch screen while they're at it...

Well the X2 is expected this year (possibly June) - which is also being outsourced to Foxconn. That might feature the multi-touch we're waiting for.

If that's true them i'm sure X2 will be android based? because apart from that OS, there is no other OS that supports multitouch, it is very unlikely that SE will use WebOS or iPhone OS anyway
