We are all eagerly awaiting Sony Ericsson's upcoming Windows Mobile 6.1 flagship device, the XPERIA X1.

The long awaited Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 may be seeing its day in the sun come September, but if that is not soon enough for you, than have I got some news for you. An eBay listing was found, with the item being none other than the X1. Though the eBay auction is over, the seller added a message to ... continued »

Sony Ericsson's new XPERIA device line has been hotly discussed. The X1 is the only device in the line as of now, but Sony Ericsson has made it clear XPERIA will be a line of devices, not just a single device.

Vincent has been spending some hands-on time with HTC's Touch Diamond at its London premiere today, and we've got the live photos for you.  In many respects the smartphone seems to live up to HTC's hyperbole: the 640 x 480 VGA screen is amazingly crisp and the device overall feels more like a compact PMP than a clunky smartphone.  Saying that, the ... continued »

Sony Ericsson's WM6.1 announcement was one of the big "oh, yeah, we know" moments of CTIA, but it did have a few interesting tidbits regarding their XPERIA Panels GUI, the company's attempt to out-intuitive the iPhone.  So it's always nice to see video of new interfaces in action (usually so we can berate them); MobileBurn's Michael Oryl shot some footage of ... continued »

Not much of a surprise, since we knew back in February, but Sony Ericsson have confirmed that the XPERIA X1 smartphone is based around Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.1, which the software giant launched today.  Of course, on top of that OS is Sony Ericsson's XPERIA UI, which they're describing as a "continually active desktop".  "No two individuals have the same tastes ... continued »
