Simply Wow. We've been getting hints and peaks at the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 for a while now, but it got its coming-out party yesterday at MWC, and advance word is the beauty isn't just skin deep.
If you're wondering where the Xperia X1 got its good looks from, turns out it's made by HTC. That's a beveled "arc-slider" that considerably increases the ergonomics when using the QWERTY keyboard, with a Windows Mobile interface that appears miles ahead of... well, of your typical Windows Mobile interface. There's only a 3.2 megapixel camera (with auto-focus) as opposed to the now-standard 5, and there's only 400 MB onboard memory, which seems to make its multimedia focus a little shallow without adding a microSD to the picture, but that 3" touchscreen is a 800 x 480 VGA, and it makes movie and television playbacks look gorgeous. Web surfing, too... which should be a breeze, given quad-band GSM/EDGE support.
And it'll be eligible for a SquareTrade warranty with Accidental Damage coverage, too.
Seriously, this one's a contender. The real disappointments? Despite the fact that the X1 is all over the Sony Ericsson site, they're highly reticent about naming a price. Oh, and it won't be out until Q2.
