“We finally got real hands on the Xperia X1 (we’re done putting “Xperia” in caps, btw). Let us tell you – the hardware is simply top notch. It’s a decent weight, not too heavy, and feels remarkably thin for all the power they’ve got under the hood. Sony Ericsson also made a good decision by making this phone not feel too “wide”, it’s less wide than a BlackJack II, in fact. Overall this might be the best hardware I’ve ever seen on a Windows Mobile device….and those thoughts are just the start of it. After the break, our first impressions of the Xperia X1’s hardware, details on the development and innards of the X1 from our chat with Martin Winkler, Director of Global Marketing for Sony Ericsson, and full gallery of hands-on photos.” Read more
