Sony’s most powerful Smartphone ever is here. We saw the specs coming a while ago, and now it’s set for launch on November 3rd.

Like the Sense UI, Rachael’s UI retains the three-panel “shade and drawer” Android layout, but completely overhauls the graphics and widgets.

Sony Ericsson Rachael The UI design is innovative, the card-style layout where call records, SMS/MMS, e-mail, Twitter, and Facebook feeds are arranged as sub-headings under a contact’s “card.” Also included in the video are icons for “TimeScape,” and “MediaScape,” which are currently unknown.

The device itself is still unannounced, so a launch date, price, and exact specs are still uncertain. However, the shots and video are of similar quality and design to others on the SE Web site, so the device could soon make an official debut there.
