Sony Ericsson Xperia X1





We finally got the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. Let me tell you - the phone is simply top notch. It's a decent weight, not too heavy, and feels remarkably thin for all the power they've got under the hood. Sony Ericsson also made a good decision by making this phone not feel too “wide”, it's less wide than a BlackJack II, in fact. Overall this might be the best hardware I've ever seen on a Windows Mobile device.

Screen:
With a 800×480 VGA screen, you can’t really go wrong right? Right. We’ve got to say off the top that this is the best-looking screen we’ve ever seen on a Windows Mobile device

Audio quality:
We didn’t put the speakers through our normal tests just yet. The speaker volume in general could have been a little louder and the sound could have sounded a little fuller. Speakerphone was the same. We’ll report back with more detailed findings.

Notification lights:
There are 4 independant notification lights on the four corners of the X1. These are LED lights that change through various colors. The lights offer a nice touch and weren’t too over-powering and bright which we were afraid of. The kids will love it.

Call quality:
Calls came in and out with crystal clear quality. The ear speaker was plently loud and the party on the other end said we sounded like we were on a land line.
