Xperia X1

In a review of the phone, Daniel Hessel and Mattias Kallman remind us about Windows Mobile in the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1.

The Windows mobile base in the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 has, like all Windows Mobile-based touchscreen phones, been supplemented with a homegrown graphical interface called the X-Panel, since the system itself is the textbook definition of the word clutter.

Haha. Exactly what I was thinking from watching it. But there aren't many other pressing issues I can think of for now.

Meanwhile, I'm eyeing this phone.

EDIT on 20081123:

Seow Tein Hee concludes his Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 review.

Sad to say, its QWERTY keyboard, which could have been the defining feature on the X1, became the downfall of this Windows Mobile device. The lack of a good tactile feedback, stiff keys and awkward positioning of pertinent keys such as its Start button will make your typing experience confounding and confusing.

Yet another disappointment. Yay.
