Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 Video Preview


The more I see of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, the more I want one. After four back to back Nokia S60 phones (6630, 6680, N80 and my current N95), I’m dying to use something a bit different and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 seems to fit the bill.

The Xperia X1 It has a full QWERTY keyboard that slides away, which will allow me to stop carrying around my HTC Touch for emailing, a 3 inch 800×480 screen that in this hands-on video just blows away any other mobile screen I’ve seen, 3G, GPS and WiFi. What more could I ask for?

Other key items in the Xperia X1 spec:

  • Microsoft® Outlook Mobile: email, contacts, calendar, tasks
  • Main screen: 3 inch 65,536 color TFT, 800 X 480 pixels
  • Camera: Auto focus, 3.2 megapixel camera, Photo light, Video recording

  • Handwriting recognition
  • aGPS
  • USB support
  • WLAN
  • Windows Live™
  • Exchange ActiveSync®
  • Voice control
  • Size: 110 x 53 x 16.7 mm

    Yeah, at first when I saw this (being a long time gadget guy, and owner or quite a few S-E phones) I thought, looks temptimg. But when I started comparing this to other phones, I realized that I didn’t like some of the things abou this one. Quite frankly, I didn’t like the screen size, or even the fact that keyboard doesn’t allow you to really use it in any way, other than like a thumbboard (unlike the HTC TyTN II aka AT&T Tilt). I also thought that the keyboard’s just a little too smallfor those of us with “manly hands” (no cheeky comments, please! LOL). Then I forgot about it, bought a used Nokia N95 (which I’m still getting used to) and started realizing that, there’s one thing that holds true about most of the smartphone users that I’ve come across. Adaptability! It’s a great looking phone, that has some very nice features and comparing it to anything else except for what it can deliver would be a mistake. It does what it does, and the way that it does it all in it’s own unique way. So comparing this to anything else would be…well, I believe a mistake, as it should be graded on it’s own merits. So somewhere down the line…yeah, I’ll pick up a used mint Xperia for cheap! ;0) I just find it strange to see that Sony finally moved away from the Palm OS of the Clie platform. But regardless of that fact, I loved the Clie and hated the OS. So seeing the X1 with Windows Mobile on it means that they’ve finally decided to stop shooting themselves in the marketing foot! …and I’m only too happy to see it! :0)

    Xperia X1 is indeed a brilliant smartphone. I simply love this mobile phone. The design with QWERTY Keyboard is the best part for me.
