Oh, man, we've been chomping at the bit for this one ever Dieter got an early look at the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 back at CTIA, and we're still hoping for a Vodafone release in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here's a new up-close look, brought to you by sm@pe (Smart at Personal) via Engadget Mobile. In case you've forgotten, here' what we're looking at: Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro...
We're still no closer to knowing when we'll see the US Release of the Sony Xperia X1 (see our first impressions review of the Xperia X1) and we also are no closer to knowing what exactly the mystery Xperia is in this Sony video. It seems that dearth of information isn't just hurting us -- it's been painful enough that Tob!s over at Esato [via] has done up some renders of an Xperia X5...
It seems like an eternity since Dieter got some serious hands-on time with the Sony Xperia X1. And in the tech world, it certainly has been, what with the launch of the HTC Diamond and that other "smart" phone taking center stage recently. But the X1 has been lurking and still appears headed for a fall release. IntoMobile recently mentions a November launch on Australia's 3 network,...
I travel a lot, so I like to have my music without having to carry around another device (i.e. iPod or MP3 player) to listen to it. This is why I like bluetooth A2DP stereo headsets so much. But the challenge is finding the one that works best for when you want to use it. For example, a full headset like Motorola S805 would be perfect while flying in a plane, but probably not very...
Java ME: So difficult to install and use on Windows Mobile it's insane. You can try to follow the instructions here if you're bold (or crazy). Really, though, why would you bother? Flash Lite: Soon to be built-into Windows Mobile 6.1. Not all that powerful... which is annoying, really. Sure you get some video but you also get the “opportunity” to view other flash content on the web...
We finally got real hands on the Xperia X1 (we're done putting “Xperia” in caps, btw). Let us tell you - the hardware is simply top notch. It's a decent weight, not too heavy, and feels remarkably thin for all the power they've got under the hood. Sony Ericsson also made a good decision by making this phone not feel too “wide”, it's less wide than a BlackJack II, in fact. Overall...
The XPERIA X1 got some facetime during the Windows Mobile portion of today's keynote, and our impression was that the “tiles” were a lot slower than we'd been hoping for. We'll give the Sony booth a shot, but given how they've been reticent to let people lay hands on this sucker since the Mobile World Congress, our hopes are not high. Everything else, though, still looks awfully sweet...
inxperia lets us know that Sony has published a white paper on the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. It's chock-full of details on what we can expect from what we're officially dubbing, right here right now style, “the next best damn Windows Mobile Smartphone Ever” (Sorry Tilt). Go on and give it a download and learn some juicy details, like what the default “panels” will be (hooray, there...
You know what I hate - when I make a prediction about technology but forget to tell somebody. Then, when I am proven right, I can't legitimately say "Ha ha! Told you so!" Case in point: Sony Ericsson wants in on the Windows Mobile game and has tapped HTC to manufacture the handsets for them. "Volume shipments of the smartphone - Sony Ericsson's first Windows Mobile-based smartphone...
TreoCentral's James Hromadka reviews the Sony Ericsson HBH-PV700. (Originally published at TreoCentral on June 29th, 2006) More and more Bluetooth headsets are targeted towards women. The Jabra BT160 [ Review | Buy ] for example comes with a wide assortment of faceplates that can be used to complement a particular outfit or mood. Sony Ericsson has also gotten into the stylish...
