It's here, the XPERIA X1 QWERTY from Sony Ericsson. Yes, full QWERTY to make the most of that Windows Mobile 6 operating system. SE's new XPERIA brand will focus on multimedia and mobile web communication. The X1 then, brings a 3-inch wide VGA (800 x 480) touchscreen display, 3.2 megapixel camera (with photo light), A2DP Bluetooth, aGPS, WiFi, and microSD -- just 400MB on board. On the phone side you've got quad-band GSM/EDGE, and 900/1700/1900/2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA (or 850/1700/1900/2100MHz in what must be a US-bound model). Navigation is accomplished via touch, arc-sliding QWERTY, 4-way key and optical joystick. Now just replace that Internet Explorer Mobile browser with Opera Mobile 9.5 or Skyfire and the 110 x 53 x 16.7-mm X1 is ready to live up to its potential. You know, when it ships in "select markets" in the second half of 2008.

This thing is pretty sexy!! I'll add this to my list of potential phones for when my contract expires in may.

 

Looks awesome, but I hate windows based phones...

 

i wonder what service will provide this.

 

Aw fawk...I just bought the P1i too!


Great...now I want this one. All I hafta say is: iPhone who!?

 

Don't matter...just pick up an unlocked version and off you go.

 

Yeah...windows mobile ftl

 

My husband JUST mentioned showed the phone to me and I've been since.

I currently have an SE m600i, but it's just not cutting it anymore. I've been looking into a really nice qwerty phone (that's not the iphone) but also has everything I want and need. So far, nothing has really jumped out at me.....but this is definitely a true winner!

I'm going to pick this up asap when it comes out! I cant wait!

 

Gizmodo had a hands on with the it today

Very neat...I want one.

 

SE has always impressed me with their phones. Unfortunately for business needs I have to stick to my RIM 8820.

This phone is very tempting though.

 

How come...? I've used the Sony Ericsson PDAphones for the last few years (starting back with the P900, P910i, and now the P1i) with very little problem in meeting business needs...?

 

nice phone, but i will stick with my symbian s60v3

 

Please I hope comes to AT&T.

 

^^ most likely ATT since most of SE phones go there

 

I wish it had the 5mp camera. other than that, looks tight

 

 

are you sure feburary or october like the date says?

 

That looks sexy, but I need Windows Mobile 6 to be loaded for my work needs.

The iPhone does not cut it when it comes to composing work emails, if it actually had enough security to work with our email servers.

 

Its coming out to the UK soon..... Still hard to give up my N95.

 

I have my tmobile Shadow right now. It's alright, but I wouldn't mind switching. I think my next phone will be this!

 

The date is in european format. everyone is just hoping it's a typo cause they initally said 2H of this year so how a couple weeks later it's pushed back all the way to next year is odd. So let's just

 

another phone made by HTC

 

The date IS a typos (confirmed on howardforums, engadgetmobile, etc.)

And the operating system will be 6.1

 

so most likely it'll go with att or tmobile? darn, i have sprint...

 

Well you can always buy it unlocked. I'm guessing it will be around the $700-$900 range, so save that change!

 

i love sony/ericsson phones... i hate slide out keyboards. Im looking for something else to use alongside my Iphone. Its fun and games, but it would be nice to get something else as well.

 

I need to read the description better, it does have Windows Mobile on there...stupid me

 

thats a nice phone.... i just got the HTC t-mobile wing which i overclocked to increase the speed =).. i love the phone and its capabilities. =) for 50 dollars you cant go wrong =).

 

That looks great

 

 

I really hope AT&T picks this up.

 

 

Thank god my contract ends in october.

 

I was gonna to say... this phone isn't out yet.

 

It has release in some parts of the country. When do you think US will get it?

 

^ Still TBA...
