Sony Ericsson go Windows Mobile - XPERIA X1

 We'd heard rumours, but now it's here in the flesh. This is the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1, running Windows Mobile 6 Pro. Yes, you read that right - a Sony Ericsson running Windows Mobile. Just one more time for my own sanity.. it's a Sony Ericsson with Windows Mobile. Yep, I've got it now.

The new XPERIA range will push the mobile web and multimedia. The X1 has a sliding QWERTY keyboard which pops out to give the device a curved and ergonimic feel. There's also quad-band GSM/EDGE and quad-band 3G/HSDPA and HSUPA. Also in the specs is an auto-focus 3.2 megapixel camera, aGPS, WiFi, microSD, Bluetooth A2DP, FM Radio and a wide 800x600 VGA screen.

It'll be available in the second half on 2008. Read on for the promotional video featuring about 10 seconds of the (COUGH)iPhone-esque(COUGH) interface and hundreds of paper planes. We've also got the full press release. This thing looks absolutely amazing!
