First look at the sony erricson Xperia X1. Review on Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

I just got a chance to spend some time with the smart phone Xperia X1 from Sony erricson.This the erricson's first Windows mobile.

Design: The first thing that catches when u see the phone is the large 3.0 inch Touch screen. And it also features interactive Panel interface, which let the user customize the panel the way they wanted.The Xperia X1 is compact and has a nice, solid construction. The phone is available in two colors: silver or black. I looked at the silver model, which has an attractive steel finish and feels cool in the hand. The X1 definitely has wow factor and Sony Ericsson really did a nice job on the hardware.The Xperia X1 features a 3-inch touch screen that displays 65, 536 colors at an 800x480 pixel resolution.

With such a sharp resolution, the images and text looked crisp and colors were vibrant.There are many panels come preloaded such as Microsoft Today, Google, 3D Fish, Xperia Radio, and Media Xperience. Most are self-explanatory, but if you're curious about the 3D Fish, it basically shows you the date and time and then three fish, which each represent some type of notification. For example, one fish alerts you to missed calls, and the other fish will turn from one color to another when your battery is low or if you have a new message, or missed calls.

To access the keyboard, just slide the screen to the right. The sliding mechanism is smooth and feels strong enough to endure multiple openings and closings. In its open state, you'll notice that there's a slight arc to the phone. The slight curve makes it comfortable to hold the phone when typing messages, and it also props the screen at a nice angle for better viewing. The screen orientation will also automatically switch from portrait to landscape mode when you open the phone. The keyboard itself is pretty good
