A closer look at Sony Ericsson XPERIA

When Sony Ericsson has announced its first Windows Mobile-based phone, no one knew any more about X1's software than it can rearrange the XPERIA quicklaunch panel, made of nine icons. Later it turned out that the reason for this was no fault of the Japanese-Swedish manufacturer, bu the fact that the phone is based on Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.1, that hadn't been announced at that time. Since the announcement of WM 6.1, the manufacturer likes to boast a lot with their premium category communicator, which is expected to be launched around September. The 110 x 53 x 17 mm large Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1, weighing 145 grams, has HSUPA support, a 3", 800 x 480 pixel large display, a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, a built-in GPS receiver, WLAN and Bluetooth, a 528 MHz CPU, a 1500 mAh battery and a QWERTY keyboard that slides in an arc.
