Coming Soon: Xperia X1

The Xperia X1 is one of the most awsome phones
I've seen next to the iPhone as far as inovation goes. The Xperia is a mobile phone made by Sony Ericson that is made towards the comon businesss man. But what makes the Xperia exploding news is that this is the first phone made by Sony Ericson that features Windows mobile technology.

This phone is sort of like a the Blackjack but way batter, I think that Sony Ericson had this phone in mind when developing this phone. Since the point of the blackjack was to have all your business apps when you need them plus, have all your etretaiment features right there on one device, and this is exactly what the Xperia X1 does, but in a more stylish way.

Ok lets get to some specs, the Xperia (like the iPhone) features a 3" touch-screen display. This display is natively protrate, but when you dish out the fully functionaly QWERTY keyboard it turns into a landscape view.




Since its Windows mobile technology, you can expect to have all of your mobile email with Outlook, keep track of all of your contacts and more. Then when your done with work you can watch DVD quality MPEG4 video and listen to all of your MP3's and ACC's music from that MicroSD card slot or store your music on its hefty 400MB internal storage.

As with all smart phones the mobile internet experience cannot be missed. Of course you can view the internet at its full HTML grace on your speedy 3G network. Dont want to pay for an extensive data plan? your ok with this phone since you can use its fast 802.11b/g interfaces.

Here's some other features of the phone according to smart-mobile-gadgets :

  • 3.2 megapixle camera
  • Bluetooth 2.0
  • USB 2.0 interface
  • optical joystick navigation (to scroll down through webpages)
  • RSS reader
  • Has downloadable games capeability
  • comes in black or silver
  • GPS
  • FM radio
  • motion sensing roation (also)
  • Video call capeability
  • Hadwriting recognition (to jog down notes)

Compatible networks:

  • AT&T
  • T-Mobile
  • Rogers
  • Fido

Networks it will NOT work in:

  • Verison
  • Sprint
  • Tellus
  • Bell

The phone has not released in the US officlialy but its bound to come soon. Online the phone retails for $899 (unlocked) at Smart mobile gadgets.

Thoughts: I love this phone, I think it beat the Helio ocean! with all this features I think it beats the iPhone anyday. Now some people dont like Windows mobile but if they saw it on this phone maybe they'll think twice. Now of course the downside is the price, but when it's officially released in the U.S and is claimed by a mobile carrier (AT&T cough-cough) then i would expect to see at $300-$400 or maybe even $500 but then with time it should go down. to about $250 if you lucky. bottom line, this phone kicks ass and to me its a definate must-buy.
