Now that’s a refreshing change of pace from Sony Ericsson. It seems that Sony Ericsson updated their XPERIA X1 specification sheet to reflect the use of microSD expansion cards. Last time I mentioned the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 superphone, I said that I’d take the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 with that horrible, proprietary MemoryStick memory card format – the handset is really that awesome.
There are almost no words to describe how overjoyed I was to hear that the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 would be using the standard microSD card format. That little tidbit perfectly rounds off the feature set of an admirable smartphone.
And, we’re also hearing that Windows Mobile 6.5 might just be back in the mix. Contrary to those screenshots that clearly show the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 displaying Windows Mobile 6.1, there is once again some talk of the XPERIA X1 toting Windows Mobile 6.5. If WinMo 6.5 really is the OS of choice for this new superphone, the “hands-off” approach from the Sony Ericsson reps makes all that much more sense – even more so than if it was rocking Windows Mobile 6.1.
Now, all that’s left is for Sony Ericsson to drop this darn thing on us already. The wait is getting unbearable – and there’s still 6 months to go. Oh well, we’re in for the long-haul with this one.
