Can’t get enough of Sony Ericsson’s HTC-sourced superphone, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1? Of course you can’t. With a WVGA touchscreen display, WiFi, GPS, 3.2 megapixel camera, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and a Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional OS wrapped in Sony Ericsson’s own panel-based UI, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 is definitely a superphone that’s worth a look.

Smape has posted an extensive review of their Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1, complete with more pictures of the XPERIA X1 than we know what to do with. They’ve got both bases covered with the XPERIA X1 pictured in both Black and Metallic Silver finishings.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 review

Notably, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1′s camera is said to be darn decent, and could even get better with some software-enhancements from HTC. Unfortunately, the XPERIA X1′s keyboard leaves something to be desired. The keyboard is a huge selling point for a device like the X1, so here’s to hoping that both HTC and Sony Ericsson can figure out how to make their keyboard more responsive and tactile before going official.

For us, we’ll take the sub-par keyboard the way it is, if it means we can get our hands on the X1′s quality-build. In fact, the UK might be getting the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 right quick.
