[edit] Basics
The X1 is an arc-slider phone with the Windows Mobile 6.1 Operating System. It is Sony Ericsson's first mobile phone to feature Windows Mobile.[1] . The device also has a Java virtual machine (JBed) and supports JavaME [5] that is claimed to have a richer set of features than typically available.
The phone features a three-inch resistive touchscreen overlaying a keypad which emerges when the user slides the touchscreen face upward, much as in the HTC TyTN II, although the X1's touchscreen slides out in an arc. Its touchscreen is a 65,536-color TFT WVGA display. It has a 3.2 megapixel digital camera which records video at thirty frames per second in VGA (640x480) quality. There is also a secondary front facing camera for videoconferencing that is of QCIF format. Connectivity options for the phone include: mini-USB; wireless LAN 802.11b/g; Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, FTP, and HID; EDGE; and quad-band GSM, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, and HSCSD. The X1 has 512MB of internal memory (400MB free), which is expandable to 16 gigabytes using High Capacity microSD cards, currently cards up to 32 gigabytes have been released by SanDisk.[6] The phone also features A-GPS for navigation.[7]
The X1 ships with Opera Mobile pre-installed.
Standard features on the X1 include push email, an RSS feed aggregator, and handwriting recognition.
It is also able to use the GSM network feature Alternate line service.[8]
The device is powered by Qualcomm's ARM 11 MSM7200A CPU, which runs at 528 MHz. The device's memory is 256 MB RAM[9].
[edit] Panel Interface
The home screen on the Xperia X1 supports up to nine different 'panels' which can be switched between by the user, each offering different functionality.[10] This allows users to select exactly which functionality they want on their homescreen, and switch easily. Extra panels can be downloaded from Sony Ericsson or third parties. Sony Ericsson released an SDK for developers which allows panels to be created using either C++ or HTML with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 SP1 or better.[11] There is also a third party website which simplifies to process of creating an HTML panel, as it is quite a complex task with Visual Studio.[12]
[edit] Release date
The X1 began shipping on the 30th of September 2008, and was meant to become available in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Sweden. It became available to the UK market on October 27, 2008 (only on Vodafone) but it is not clear when it will be released to the rest of the EU. The handset is available through the Carphone Warehouse and Phones4Uin the UK. In Europe it will be sold only in Fnac stores (Belgium and France).
In Hong Kong, X1 was shipped on 29 October 2008. The first batch of X1 in Hong Kong was dedicated for the mobile operator Three HK and was reserved for the operator's VIP premium user for pre-ordering.[13]
In South Africa, it will be released to the public on December 16, 2008.
The North American release date was expected to be announced on November 3, 2008; however, it was not.
On November 13, Sony Ericsson announced that the phone would be available in North America on November 28, 2008 for $799 unlocked.[14]
In Australia, the X1a was released on Telstra in December 2008 and went on sale December 26, 2008. It's now also available on the Vodafone and 3 Networks.
