      Fernando, 13 Jun 2008Does anyone know if it's possible to view documents with it... moreMost of Windows Mobile smart phones can view the document formats with built-in office viewer applications in it (e.g PDF, DOC, XLS, PPT)
      But I still don't know whether XPERIA can edit the document formats
      Perhaps we have to install an application to do so...

        Raad, 13 Jun 2008why does this cell phone has 65k color not 16M color like... moreWhy XPeria has 65k Colors Screen?
        1st reason, the Windows Mobile-based handsets can only support 65k color screen. Although some WM Smart phones (such as LG KS20) have 262k Colors screen, but 65k Colors is effective
        2nd reason, with more than 65k colors in its screen, will affect its battery life
        3rd reason, the XPeria's 65k colors screen is nice! Almost same like another Sony Ericssons's 262k Colors screen phones

          My problems with this phone are:
          1.resolution (because most of programs and cool games support 320x240 or 640x480)
          and
          2.i think it will be higher then 800$
          3.date of release (others competitors will give us earlier then this shitty 3rd 2008 or 1st 2009) shame...

              Does anyone know if it's possible to view documents with it. Like documents from Word, Excel and Power Point. PDF files? It's not specified here.

                Why has only 65k ? Because the screens that has 16milion collor the battery is weak.

                    has so many nice features...but only a 3.2 pixel cam...shame!!! at least a 5 mega pixel would suit this phone

                      And to add to my last post some may wonder why some phones have a 262k offering well they are proprietry operating systems NOT a smartphone using complex software apps,,,the most they will use is java which is still very basic,,no way could it handle games at 30fps and 16 million colours and java is very,very ram intensive also

                        16 bit screens are 65k colours
                        18 bit screens 262k colours
                        24 bit screens 16.7/8 million colours

                        using the above 18 bit does not fit into the equation correctly as in 8 bit 16 bit 24 bit 32 bit and so on,,

                        Some lcds are now capable of producing 7 billion and 4 trillion colours but who is going to count them??

                        The xperia is using a 16.7 million colour pallette but the software is easier to write at 65k ,in fact all the past software are written at this 65k pallette so rewriting all the software to the next code of 24 bits is a waste and the difference can only be seen in specific photographs or by using a histogram..In general most screens are 16 million but do not show that amount and anyway the colours are only used in shading and the amount of shading over a 320 pixels display can only ever be 320 colours??????

                        In the past we had black and white screens with some grey shading and if we put a 16.7/8 million in place of the mono lcd it would just show up the black and white colours with a bit of grey shading in between "but" the specs could say that this phone has a 16 million colour lcd screen but because the software has only black/white output thats all you would get..

                        My dads cannon has a 12 bit, 2 inch, 120,000 pixel polysilicon lcd display which is 4096 colours( 12 bit ) but because of the pixel density the screen is super sharp and lifelike,,so as someone said earlier i would much rather have a 65k screen with big pixel density than a 16 million colour screen at qvga...

                          sad to say... SE is VERY SLOW in putting their new phone in the market fast enough.
                          unlike Samsung, which has been very active...

                          And yes i m still using SE phones.

                              Raad, 13 Jun 2008why does this cell phone has 65k color not 16M color like... moreIt has 65k colors for a number of reasons.1 WM 6.1 uses only 65k and 16m colors. 16m colors use up much power. And give the functions of X1 SE has to look for means to cut down power consumption. Also with the small screen size the diff between 65k and 16 mill colors is hardly noticeable if the screens have the same resolution. l have two phones with these two colors and trust me they are almost identical. The resolution of the X1 screen is high and that is important than screen color. With proper brigthness and contrast it will be better than any 16 million QVGA screen. Hope this helps u understand why SE may have made that choice.

                                I'd rather have 800 x 480 pixels that i enjoy everyday, than 16M colors i never have the use for...

                                I'd choose this one over N96 any day...

                                      65k color to reduce power consumption I guess

                                        It doesn't have 16M colour 5MP camera 16GB memory TV so I'll go NOKIA N96
