Size wise it a bit bulky, Solid build but easily scratch. I bought the silver one and sold it within a week. A bit slow and laggy in my opinion. Sony should implement either android or symbian 60 instead of windows mobile.

Great Review. =) I checked the Sony Style Store last Friday. Unfortunately, the X1a, the one with the US 3G bands, the AT&T ones at least didn’t hit the shelves in time for Black Friday.

Aside from the brilliant WVGA display, I think the Panel interface will be the X1’s edge over other phones. The guys at XDA Developers came up with a “Touch Flo 3D” Panel that replicates the home screen on the latest HTC devices, which I think is pretty cool. SPB also put out a free “Panel” version of their SPB mobile shell for the X1.

Those two interfaces are pretty “killer” in terms of Panel apps. I also heard there was a Facebook panel available. Don’t get me wrong, it seems really cool, but at the same time it kind of steams me up because Facebook was kind enough to grace the iPhone, Blackberry and now the Xperia, but seems to have left the regular WinMo users in the cold in terms of apps, especially considering the WinMo platform is one of the easier mobile platforms to develop for because of the languages and tools available through Visual Studio, etc.

But I digress. Since I already have a WinMo phone in the form of an HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris), I was originally planning to wait a bit until Windows Mobile 6.5 or even Windows Mobile 7 devices started rolling out, but I have to admit, the Sony Xperia X1 is one sexy device. I might have to break the bank to pick one of these babies up…

I do not understand why its not being picked up by a carrier here in America. I would get it in a heartbeat with carrier’s discount on it. Hope it will be picked up by T-Mobile.
