SE XPERIA X1 appears to be available now in Sweden
One of the most anticipated new devices in the Windows Mobile market, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 now appears to be available in Sweden. Daily Mobile has unboxing photos of a production model and I plan to follow their site for more thoughts on the device. I saw a couple of early models of the XPERIA X1, but you could see some early software issues in them so I can’t wait to actually see the device in production mode. I am also hoping we see a 1700 MHz model for T-Mobile USA.
Like HTC and Samsung, Sony Ericsson has taken great lengths to customize the X1 and give it a look and feel that “hides” Windows Mobile under its panels. The slide out keyboard looks very functional and the X1 also uses a unique touch sensitive pad on the front. Did any readers order one from an importer yet or are you waiting for an official US release?
