The Xperia X1 looks stunning and on paper it packs a lot of features. We like the hardware design and the high resolution screen. But the ‘panels idea is a bit of a let-down and its slow running proved very frustrating at times. Sony Ericsson - Xperi...

There's been a lot of hype about the Xperia X1, not least because it's Sony Ericsson's first handset to use the Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system since dropping the UIQ software that was found on its previous smartphones. The handset has been designed b...
We had expected great things from the Xperia X1. In terms of the hardware it certainly lives up to the hype as it's a great looking phone and packed full of useful features. However, the hardware is really hamstrung by the phone's operating system and the...

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is one of the most awaited phones to come out of the Sony Ericsson lab. It's standout feature is the ability to customise panels on the homescreen letting X1 users tap into any function of their choosing via its 3-inch touch...

First, though, the good stuff. The X1 is a good-looking handset, with its matte black face offset by silver trim around the sides. The front is dominated by its large, 800 x 480, 65,000-colour touchscreen, though this isnt really enhanced by the mudd...

Nice design; fits well in the hand; beautiful highresolution screen.
Interface still needs work; stability issues; thumb keyboard too flat and closely spaced.
In terms of size and shape, the Xperia X1 is really not bad at all. Unfortunately, the thing that really lets down the X1 seems to be the Windows Mobile operating system itself, as Sony Ericsson just doesn’t go far enough with its customisations to...
