Sony X1 Windows Mobile Phone		Sony Ericsson will enter the Windows Mobile Smartphone market later this year with the XPERIA X1, a touchscreen handset with several new and innovative features. The X1's 3" touchscreen display slides out to expose a full QWERTY keyboard, but rather than sliding over or up, the screen slides on an angled curve (see gallery), a so-called "Arc-slider" design. The X1 will also offer some new Windows Mobile UI eye-candy, including panels which can be used to move about the operating system (seen left). Primary features include EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA network connectivity, a VGA-resolution touchscreen display (which promises DVD-quality video), a 3.2MP digital camera, built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, aGPS, a microSD flash memory card slot and up to 400MB of onboard memory. The XPERIA X1 was announced at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain on February 11, 2008. There no official details on pricing and availability, but according to some industry insiders, the XPERIA X1 may debut in the U.S. as eary as September 2008.
