Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 powered by super-secret version of Windows Mobile
That would explain why the Sony Ericsson reps were so guarded about the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1.

Windows Mobile moves 14.3 million units worldwide in past six months
Talk about a good rebuttal. In the face of stronger than ever iPhone hype and entrenched competition from RIM, the Windows Mobile team has done darn well for itself in the past six months. Microsoft’s press conference at Mobile World Congress (3GSM) 2008 was something of a counter-punch to the iPhone sales figures that have…

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 live demo from Mobile Focus at 3GSM 2008 Barcelona

Anyway, at 3GSM 2008 in Barcelona, Sony Ericsson brought out their Windows Mobile-powered XPERIA X1 superphone. With that beautiful WVGA touchscreen display, 5megapixel camera, and WiFi,…
Nokia CEO: Windows Mobile who? Try S60 Touch in 2H 2008
I’m sure there aren’t many of you out there that were waiting on Nokia to follow Sony Ericsson’s (XPERIA X1) lead and bring Windows Mobile to an N-series device.
