It was announced back in February last year but until now, Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X1 touchscreen iPhone baiter has remained tantalizingly out of reach. With its full QWERTY keypad and handwriting recognition, is it enough to bruise Apple mobile phone?
Let’s take a look at Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 mobile phone’s panel beater. Underneath the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 mobile phone’s attractive, new-fashioned touchscreen there’s Windows Mobile operating system. It’s hiding behind a snazzy customizable interface called Xperia Panels, which softens the blow a bit, but you’re only ever a prod away from being dumped into Windows Mobile misery.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 mobile phone sports handwriting recognition to turn your stylus scribbles into on-screen text. It’s a welcome alternative to touchscreen typing, but there’s also a full QWERTY keyboard that slides out from under the screen.
Hopping aboard the interweb express on a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 mobile phone is a doddle. It’s got Wi-Fi built in, plus HSDPA for when you stray from the safety of a hotspot. It’s got faster uploading HSUPA tech as well which, if your network carrier supports it, will make uploading pics from the 3.2MP snapper quick as a flash.
If you spin the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 mobile phone around, you will find a 3.2 megapixel camera. This isn’t one of Sony Ericsson’s CyberShot cameras, so you’ll have to make do without all the fancy gubbins come with those such as Car Zeiss lens or xenon flash. However, the autofocus should keep your snaps sharp.
Inbox interrogators are well served by the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 mobile phone’s support for push email, which delivers missives direct to your mobile phone. Thanks to Windows Mobile it’ll also synchronize up with your computer to share calendars and contacts.
