Hands On With Sony's Xperia X1
We just ducked into a closed booth with some Sony Ericsson folk and got a hands-all-over tour of the Xperia X1. Xperia is basically Sony's product line for multimedia devices — kind of like what its Walkman brand is to music. (Whatever that's worth.) The X1 is apparently the first of many Xperia devices slated to hit this year.
Here are some specs of the thing:
- Runs Win-Mo version 6.1
- 3.5 mm jack
- Triple Band Spec: 850, 1900, 2100
- Supports HSDPA and HSUPA
- Micro SD support
- Face Recognition Technology
The touchscreen itself is interesting. Sony decided not to go fully iClone and integrated a fully physical QWERTY keypad that slides neatly underneath. Also, there are several multimedia keys adorning the face including one that activates a nine panel menu. According to Sony, the panels will be customizable web pages ranging from Facebook to' iGoogle.
Of course, there is no word on price, but the handset will be available sometime in the second half of 2008 probably in a May/ June time frame.
