Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1: The Return to the Mystique !!!

[rockthegod]

As many of you already know about the tie up of SE and M$ announced earlier at MWC at Barcelona, here comes Sony Ericsson's extremely cool looking XPERIA series of handsets with Windows Mobile 6 loaded on them. This time, there is no denying that the features look really good and we might have to wait till its release to actually find out how good they are. With that gorgeous screen/TS panel, it is enough to make many people drool. I think the only thing lacking here would have been a 5 MP cam.... rest is quite flawless...




Features at a Glance:
* 3” touch display 800x480 pixels.
* QWERTY keyboard
* GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 + HSDPA/HSUPA (3G)
* WiFi.
* Windows Mobile 6.
* Touch screen (65 K)
* 3.2 megapixel camera with Auto-focus (with Photo Light and Video Recording)
* Joystick navigation (4-way key and Optical)
* Assisted GPS
* Bluetooth (Stereo A2DP)
* 110 x 53 x 16.7 mm, 145g

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA™ X1 will be available in “selected markets” from the second half of 2008. You can find the extended feature set listed in the following links.

Seems good.
The things lacking are a good camera (5 MP or more) & a good music player.
I might dispose of my Nokia N95 to buy this if it gains momentum!!

Nowz the time for revelations.... the device is "supposedly" manufactured by HTC, SE would only manufacture the software interface and customizations. And again, if this RUMOR is true, it is still a gorgeous device. My only gripe is the camera which should have been 5 MP AF with VGA 30 fps video recording + Xenon Flash. Then it would have been the PERFECT ONE !!!!!

Guess I was wrong in the thred nokia and MS that SE may not go WM way!

Symbian??!! No way!! Never.. and Linux is good for general purpose PDA but for phones like these Linux still needs to mature a lot on the PDA/Mobile platform. No doubt the kernel is solid!

[Cool G5]

Its ok.I found it average.Not that cool.

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 is one of the most exciting Windows Mobile phones since the Blackjack 2 and the (phantom) i-mate 9502. With a 800x480 pixel display, it is probably going to be the new reference in terms of productivity and entertainment. Users can control it the way they want: Touch screen, joystick or via the elegant Arc slider QWERTY keyboard. Finally, it has WiFi, 3.5G and assisted-GPS – features that will make a big difference, given that web browsing and location based are popular apps these days.


Highlights

• 3” touch display 800x480 pixels
• QWERTY keyboard
• GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 + HSDPA (3G)
• WiFi, Bluetooth
• Windows Mobile
• Touch screen
• 3.2 megapixel camera with Auto-focus
• Joystick navigation
• Assisted GPS
• Bluetooth, WiFi
• 110 x 53 x 16.7 mm, 145g

Sony-Ericsson intros XPERIA X1 'iPhone killer'

Sony-Ericsson opened the Mobile World Congress today by unveiling the XPERIA X1, its first true touchscreen-focused cellphone. Following a deal with Microsoft, the handset is Sony-Ericsson's first device to use Windows Mobile for its OS but also uses a custom interface of "XPERIA panels" rather than the default Microsoft front-end: users simply tap panels with their fingers to access calling, media, and other functions, according to the phone designer. Though dominated by its 3-inch, 800x480 touchscreen, the device also includes both optical and physical navigation pads at the bottom as well as a unique arc-slider QWERTY keyboard that tilts outward for more comfortable typing. The X1 is also the most Internet-connected Sony-Ericsson device in history, the company boasts: unlike even most advanced 3G phones, it offers HSUPA (High Speed Upload Packet Access) that sends video and other media almost as quickly as it comes downstream. Wi-Fi is onboard for short-range networking and is backed by assisted GPS for route finding. A 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus and a microSD slot (versus Sony-Ericsson's favorite Memory Stick Micro format) round out its key features.

The first XPERIA phone is expected sometime in the second half of 2008; with quad-band GSM and an unprecedented five-band HSPA/UMTS connection, the device should be available both in North America as well as Europe and includes the key 1,700MHz band needed for T-Mobile USA's upcoming 3G service.

[abhijit_reddevil]

Sony Ericsson always makes great phones, like my 1 1/2 yr old W810i. It is better than Nokia.

[iMav]

win mo simply rox - htc touch and now this; the interface is damn amazing

[krazzy]

Would be expensive though, around 30k. Also I feel it would've been better with Symbian OS. I feel even UIQ is better than WM.

[x3060]

its gonna be damn expensive for sure . . but it looks too too cool

[napster007]

please man.......symbian will ruin this baby

[krazzy]

^^ Yeah sure. It'll be more stable, will be very user friendly, have huge number of apps and will generally improve the experience. This will be all very undesirable, isn't it. Then you're right, Symbian would've ruined it.

[dreamcatcher]

^^not really..HTC proved it how intuitive WM can be...but HTC lacks the software base whch SE has..and mind u..it wil cum with WM 6.1 or higher coz SE during a press conference has stated that the version has not been decided yet...Xperia runs a 520 Mhz omap processor which is enuf to run windows at its best...the other providers havnt really been upto the mark hardware wise to run WM fully...

and as far as apps go..its microsoft...that should be unuf..
