Sony Ericsson cell phones have always managed to visually stand out from the rest. They seem to have a talent that you want to look and feel of a phone and not just ignore it. It is difficult to explain, but you get many boring looking Nokia phones and plain sliding Samsung phones that fail to inspire.



Well, as expected, the new XPERIA X1 is no exception to the Sony Ericsson rule book
Placing mobile Web communication and multimedia entertainment at the heart of the design & incorporating a Windows Mobile Operating System, touch screen technology and a superb multimedia experience thanks to the huge 3 inch display, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is one superb looking phone.

You can navigate with the tip of your finger and you can configure panels of the XPERIA just the way you want them. The ARC design gives the X1 a distinctive and unique appearance. You Simply slide the screen upwards to reveal the wide-pitch QWERTY keyboard - how cool is that? It is very much like the HTC TYTN II design, where you can just slide and begin typing.

It seems to us that smartphones and mobile phones are finally beginning to "merge" into a mainstream model. This theory is supported by the sudden wealth of touch-screen handset for the masses - LG Viewty - LG Prada and Sony Ericsson W960i being 3 of the most recent examples that spring to mind.

As you would expect, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 has all the bells and whistles that you ever ask your from your cell phone, including 3,2 Mp camera with auto focus and digital zoom, multimedia player - including FM radio, 3G video calling, Bluetooth, wireless Lan, Internet Explorer, e-mail and full organizer features - Phew! And by the way - The Sony Ericsson X1 also has a GPS so you never get lost again!

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 cell phone will be available in the summer of 2008 on contract - & SIM free from the order.
