I saw this hotness a long time ago… I think just after the first iPhone had come out so it got lost in all the buzz and dint get the attention it deserved. This is the first Sony phone with Windows mobile OS in it and what a product came out of this collaboration.
The X1 sports touch screen support, from which comes one of my favorite home screen on any cellphone. Its called the Xperia Panel Interface its just like the customizable icons on your desktop but they look way more cooler on the high resolution screen of this phone and have some really nice effects that adds to the experience.
With a camera in front it has support for a feature some iPhone users wish they had, video calls. It also has a 3.5 mega pixel camera on the back thats comes with a App that lets you photoblog right from you cellphone not mention that you can actually take videos unlike the iPhone photo only camera.
If you slide it to the side it has a qwerty keyboard from where you can write all the text messages you please , according to some hands on reviews the Keyboard does not disappoint in quality. Lets not forget you can also read/write all you emails because it supports Push Email.
For your internet browsing needs you get mobile IE and absolutely fast 3G speeds, not to mention it also does Wifi whenever you get into a hotspot. Blog reading on the go wont be a problem because it includes an RSS feed reader right out of the box.
You must agree with me here. This cellphone has one slick design with some powerfull feautures to back up all its beauty, there’s only one thing Im not diggin Windows mobile on it :S … I mean I cant say its really bad but its not the best out there. Sometimes I wish Apple would just distribute its mobile OS to other cellphone makers, oooh how I love you selfish Apple XD. Take a look at this Youtube vid which shows Xperia1 full beauty.
I sooo want one!
