Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 Windows Phone
Sony Ericsson has unveiled the first in its Xperia family of phones, the X1, which is also its first phone based on Windows Mobile.
The X1, following hot on the heels of the new Nokia N96, is meant to herald Sony Ericsson’s solution for the “converged mobile experienceâ€, which means it has lots of features and won’t be cheap. It’s an ‘arc-slider’ phone concealing a full QWERTY keyboard and sports a 3in touchscreen display with a good 800 x 480 resolution. Some might grumble over the display’s ability to only support 65K colours and that the camera is only 3.2MP, especially with rivals now cramming 5MP cameras into their newer models. The marketing blurb reads:
“Our vision for the XPERIA X1 is to deliver a seamless blend of mobile Web communication and multimedia entertainment within a distinctive design,” said Rikko Sakaguchi, Head of Portfolio and Propositions, Sony Ericsson. “XPERIA is our promise to think foremost of user experience and to deliver the premium experience – anytime, anywhere, anything, with anyone.”
Customising your ‘experience’ is all the rage now so there’s 9 desktop layouts to choose from and they can be laid out in whatever fashion suits you. There’s support for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and HSDPA connectivity as well as Assisted GPS (aGPS) for location-tagging your snaps. There’s a micro-USB port and inside is 400Mb of memory with, thankfully, a micro-SD slot for adding some decent storage space.
The X1 measures 110 x 53 x 16.7mm and weighs in at 145g. No prices yet but it’s out this summer.-Martin Lynch
