Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 super-secret OS is Windows Mobile 6.1

It’s not such a super-secret anymore. Sony Ericsson’s highly-guarded SE XPERIA X1 Windows Mobile smartphone will be running the refreshed Windows Mobile 6.1 - not the Windows Mobile 6.5 that certain dubious sources indicated previously.
Still, the presence of a real, live application of Windows Mobile 6.1 makes the whole touch-it-and-die vibe start to make sense. Those Sony Ericsson reps were really guarded about the XPERIA X1 and we probably would have lost an appendage had we dared to even reach for the device. At least they were kind enough to let us film a demo.
Here’s a few confirmed specs for you to drool over:
- 800 x 480 resolution display (boo-yah!)
- 528Mhz processor (double boo-yah!)
- 128mb RAM / 256 ROM
- 1500mAH battery
We knew the XPERIA X1 was really something to admire and appreciate, but with specs like that and a confirmed instance of Windows Mobile 6.1, we can’t wait to personally admire the superphone for ourselves. We’d even accept that proprietary Memory Stick format if the Sony Ericsson people see fit to grace us with a review unit. Fingers crossed…
Keep reading for more pics of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 in all its Windows Mobile 6.1 glory.

This is the first phone that would make me leave Verizon.

Can you listen to radio on this phone? Or is there Internet based radio for mobile phones?

I use http://topnews.fm to listen to live news radio on my mobile phone

This the will be THE phone to beat once it is released. SE really hit one out of the park with this device. Or should we give the credit to HTC…?

So I think it still has 16-bit display?

It looks good, but the SIM card access is very difficult - back to the old “drop the battery” routine.
I wonder if it will have external video output capability (projector or monitor)
