Sony Ericsson, first come up in my mind is that always synonymous with portable media players and cameras. But this time, Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, a Windows mobile with a full multimedia features which is a new attempt made by Sony Ericsson. Gear up to see whether the device can fulfill our anticipation or not.

In the package, we have a Battery, a charger, a handsfree, a USB cable, two stylus, CD and Manuals.


The display of X1, without a doubt coming close to being equal with the Apple iPhone display with a large 3” matrix supporting 800x480 resolutions.


Touch Pro? Xperia X1 just looks similar to it in outlook. X1 is no space to pile in the competition for the lightest Windows Mobile device around which gives us a strong and sturdy feeling. It seems for the meat eating males.


The keys are silver in color and quite faithful to a desktop QWERTY keyboard's layout. But it is too flat to distinguish one key from another is not exactly easy. However, it works well with your big thumb.


On the Slider and below the screen, the Call and Hang up keys, as well as the main navigation panel, the dedicated button for the Xperia panel, marked as the X Panel. These surround a directional pad. Truth to tell, Xpanel is not really responsive compared with HTC TouchFLO 3D.


The 3.2 megapixel camera and flash are located at the back of the phone.


The power button and a 3.5mm audio jack found on the top of X1. It is for the Windows Mobile users who are also music fans. Cool~


On the left side of the device, you may find the microSD slot. Unfortunately, it is only accessible after the removal of the lids.


Xpanel interface. There are seven of these tiles with each giving one touch access to features from Google services to your onboard media. Also it’s possible to add custom user panels. This is the own widget of Sony Ericsson.


We are now in the Sony Ericsson panel, a panel to see the weather, finance, world clock and shortcuts to communication and applications.


Runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 professional and 528MHz. CPU.


And here is Sony Ericsson Windows Mobile Programs interface (including: Comm Manager, Google Maps, Messenger and Opera Browser).


The wireless communication is done with the help of onboard Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi units. Both are work perfectly; we had tested it with no problem handling them over.


Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is a very specific, yet an efficient PDA. It has all the common features like the other Window Mobile but it also have multimedia functions which you guys can’t find in others. It would make a great choice for those looking for a Window Mobile sporting just as much computing power and versatility as you need. Seems it is one of the best in its class. Sony Ericsson, you are so great!!

The own widget of Sony Ericsson (the seven panels):

• Sony Ericsson panel – a panel to read news, weather, finance, world clock and shortcuts to communication and applications.
• Media Experience panel – center for viewing and playing multimedia files.
• Slideshow panel – slideshow of recently taken videos and photos.
• Microsoft Today panel – this panel is the actual Microsoft today screen.
• 3D Fish panel – a panel that showcases the 3D features of the phone
• FM radio panel - a panel to access your FM radio straight.
• Google panel - provides access to all Google services.

Negative. The X1 does not have an accelerometer. You'd have to slide the top half to turn the screen.

To answer your second question, all WinMo devices use microSD. M2 is now relegated to feature phones from .

No, the X1 takes microSD, which is
a) because it is manufactured for SE by HTC, and
b) more in keeping with Windows Mobile standards.

This might be a daft question but I'll give it a go in any case.

Why only 7 panels and not 9 by default?

This does look nice - I had a little play with the fake plastic one in CPW today and it was actually a little smaller than I was expecting, but felt nice to hold and the action of the slide felt good.

Shame I can't afford one...
