In my opinion, there are no mobile phones in the market today that deserve to be labeled an “iPhone Killer”, or even a rival to Apple’s holy device. However, that doesn’t mean to say that I think the iPhone is the best phone on the market, there just isn’t much yet that is geared the same way.
But there’s one device that is slated for release in the second half of 2008 that has really got me excited. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 looks absolutely gorgeous, with an amazing 800 x 480 pixel resolution, 3 inch screen (compared to 320 x 480 pixel for the iPhone), supporting basically every network standard and a featuring full QWERTY slide-out keypad (along with full touch-screen capability). The software is based on Windows Mobile, but Sony Ericsson have put a huge focus on building the user interface, in an attempt to appeal to the iPhone generation. Coupled with full GPS functionality, Google Maps, WiFi, Video Calling, and a slew of other features, it really looks like the iPhone will have a worthy opponent later this year.
If you’re as enthused as I am about the upcoming release of this device, then I suggest subscribing to inexperia to stay as up to date as possible with the latest developments.
Wow, I hope the these great photos live up to the actual appearance of the device. To me personally, at the risk of sounding bias, the iPhone is the best phone out there. Regardless of what else is released in the market, the iPhone has set the benchmark as to what we all expect and like on a phone and now all the other competitors are trying to meet these expectations to please the public.
The Xperia will be the next phone I purchase.
There’s no reason for me to get an iPhone now…which is what I was planning to do.
what a beast.. Only shortcoming is that screen is 16bit colour. Lets hope its easy to see in full sun light.. Most Pocket PC displays get washed out in sunlight..
I’ve not heard much about battery life on this phone yet… Fingers crossed.
P1i is better. Looks better, better high, better controll, Symbian is better than windows… And why this? For what do you need? You don´t need all these Functions, and a P1 has all this, too.
