About the Sony Ericsson X1 Xperia Black

Every now and then, an alliance is formed, that is totally unexpected, and sets the world on fire... and when it does, it requires a longer description here than normal, just because it's so important. That's exactly what has occurred, in this instance, as, for the first time ever, Sony Ericsson have joined forces with Windows Mobile, to produce what could most accurately be described as the ultimate smartphone. Here it is: the mind-blowing Sony Ericsson X1 Xperia.

Arc Slider

Cast in a gorgeous metal shell, the Sony Ericsson X1 Xperia is the first phone to have the innovative 'arc-slider' design, which isn't as complicated as it sounds. Basically, the back portion of the phone, where the QWERTY keyboard is, is curved, so that when you slip the phone open, it changes the angle you view it at, as well, tilting the screen to make it eminently easier to view. However, whether you've got the slide open or closed, you have a huge number of options for controlling the phone. You have a a brilliant 3 inch touchscreen (and it's widescreen). You have a QWERTY keyboard. But perhaps coolest of all is the fact that nestling between the navigation buttons, next to the display, is a little black pad. Believe it or not, that's actually an optical mouse pad, making the Sony Ericsson X1 Xperia work JUST like a mini laptop!

Software Breakthrough

After you've finished admiring the Sony Ericsson X1 Xperia's hardware (ok, that may take you a while), then it's time to revel in how good the software is, inside the phone. You're basically getting a whole new incarnation of Windows Mobile, version 6.1, which would be awesome on its own. But it's been combined with Sony Ericsson's own 'panel navigation' interface (check out the photo of the phone to see it), which puts each home screen into a panel, that you just press on to start that application. It's just phenomenally easy and fun to use! It just makes the Sony Ericsson X1 Xperia even more tempting!

Needless to say, no smartphone would be complete without a massive list of powerful features... To be frank, the Sony Ericsson X1 Xperia has got more features than just about anyother phone that's come our way! So, you get a 3 megapixel camera, you get GPS and sat-nav (something you WILL find useful), full Office functionality, email, full internet, instant messaging... well, the list goes on and on and on! There is very probably a feature for everyone on this phone, and if it doesn't benefit you, we have to assume you haven't got it out the box yet! How excited are we by the Sony Ericsson X1 Xperia? Well, put it this way: this might just be the most incredible phone we've EVER seen!
