Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

I played with an Xperia for the three days and gave it a really good once-over. I also played with a HTC Fuze. The Xperia was faster, had better transitions and did not lock up on me once - the Fuze had a couple of issues and was slower during transitions. There were a couple of things I liked better about the Fuze - the keyboard is easier to use and the screen having a "flush" face makes it easier to use scroll sliders and that annoying "ok" button on the top.
Xperia Pros:
This phone was fast. Anyone saying it wasn't I think has insane expectations, because I have used other WinMo and Symbian phones and this thing left them in the dust - and that includes the Fuze (maybe they were using a prototype?)
The 800x480 screen is beautiful and renders well in all the lighting situations I was in. The Fuze has a glass front and has issues with glare in direct sunlight.
The 3.5 audio jack is too rare among phones like this, I loved it!
Battery Life: With normal usage I went all weekend without a charge. What more could you want?!
Xperia Cons:
The screen is recessed, which is a trade off with the Fuze.
The keyboard felt cramped and the keys were a little too difficult to depress.
The "OK" button counter-intuitivly seemed to work as a "Back" button instead. That took a while to figure out and was very annoying.
In the end, I think the biggest issue with the X1 is the price. If you combined all the best elements of the HTC Touch Pro and the X1... then it would be worth the price.

Nokia_:), 17 Apr 2009:( bad! only 65k colors???? Nokia has 16.7Million,,, that's... moreActually problem is with windows mobile..when people see windows name they corelate it with desktop operating system and there lies the trap.....winmob is really very complicated and slow and not sorted out...
Furthermore winmob needs very robust hardware to run smoothly and reliablity is still an issue wiith winmob...
So either wait for winmob 7 or go for symbian/bb/linux/andriod...
As of now winmob sucks bigggggg times.
Anyway if you prefer to fall in pit go with se/winmob combination....you have been warned....

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Whatever said, everybody recognized Sony as the only one brand that makes life in this world happier. Sony gave us the Walkman, Diskman, Playstation, Betamax, Cybershot, handycam, Bravia, Wega,vaio,Trinitron, etc, etc.
BTW, SE IDOU's miniature IMX060PQ, a 1/2.5 CMOS image sensor from the Exmor series that, apparently, has the industry’s highest Megapixel count: 12.25 MP... is yet another wonder from Sony.
Sony will also commercialize "IU060F" lens module with 12.25 effective megapixel resolution equipped with lens and auto focus functions, this module is the industry's smallest and thinnest in their class.
And with the launch of "IU060F" lens module, Sony will seek to enhance the enjoyment of taking high quality images using camera enabled mobile phones.
You see, Sony do not always rely on others to manufacture their lenses. After all, Sony is an innovator, and with Ericsson as a partner, this duo is an envy of the competition.
xperia is the best smartphone and great 520 cpu

Obviously, disappointed people vote less.
Best to see the model and make up your own mind.
But, when SE fans (and SE reps) admit the X1 failures I think there is nothing to be argued about.
The question when they going to cancel the model - wait for Idou?
