The XPERIA X1 is made by Sony Ericsson and is built in response to Apple’s iPhone. Will it be an iPhone killer though? From initial thoughts it certainly does look the part. Apple’s iPhone was criticised by some for not having a real keyboard. Rather, they opted for an on-screen keyboard which actually works quite well. The XPERIA X1 has a full QWERTY keyboard which slides out to the side in a similar way to what a HTC Tytn does. This allows it to integrate well with Windows Mobile 6 which is the OS that powers this device.
The screen is 3 inches wide and supports VGA resolution which is 800 x 480 pixels. As can be expected, the display is touchscreen. Connectivity on the device includes A2DP Bluetooth, aGPS, WiFi and it connects on quad-band (GSM/EDGE) and UMTS, HSDPA and HSUPA. The camera on the device is 3.2 megapixels and includes a flash. Memory can be expanded from it’s standard on-board 400Meg via a microSD card.
Overall a seriously nice looking phone which seems to have all the main desired features packed in to it. With it running WM6 it allows for a large variety of software to run on it which is an advantage over the iPhone. Definitely a phone to look out for.
