Sony Ericsson smartphone running the Windows Mobile operating system. What's more, this first attempt at a Windows smartphone looks good enough to be a class leader.It is Coming in the second half of 2008.
This is a feature packed device, and it's a little hard to know where to start - so we will begin with the XPERIA X1's obvious physical characteristics first. The
XPERIA X1 is dominated by a large 3 inch touchscreen, Sony Ericsson say that is has "wide VGA resolution" which is a little confusing, as it is actually a 480 x 800 pixel panel. 800 pixels is an ideal resolution for web surfing, pitching the XPERIA X1 directly against the Nokia e90. but the XPERIA has the advantage of a touch sensitive display.
Windows Mobile comes with pretty good media support, and the XPERIA X1 also has an FM radio. Windows Mobile also has pocket versions of Word, Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint plus Internet Explorer for web browsing. In addition, it supports push email and has an RSS newsreader. On paper there is very little missing from the
Sony Ericsson phone XPERIA X1. If we're being picky, then we could mention that the camera is only 3.2 megapixels and not 5 megapixels, and the handset lacks an FM transmitter. But then those aren't very common in any case. The display is only 65,000 colours rather than the 262,000 colours or even 16 million colours that we tend to see, although we suspect that you would be hard pushed to tell much of a difference.
Here is what Sony Ericsson mobile phones has come up these days with… IPC-50 – A splash proof case for outdoor activities, CLA-70 - Cigarette Lighter Adapter for J132 and X1, ISP-90 - Stylus Pack for X1, DMU-70 - Mini-USB Cable for J132 and X1, CMU-20 - Mini-USB Charger for J132 and X1, and the BST-41 - Standard Battery for X1.
And that’s your lot, nothing to get really excited about other than it intimates that maybe Sony Ericsson is edging closer to that XPERIA X1 launch.
