Great Phone…But a Little Pricey

Category: Review on Sony-Ericsson XPERIA X1 Mobile Phone

Strengths: QWERTY keyboard, camera, large display, Windows Mobile 6.1

Weaknesses: Less built-in memory

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 mobile phone is a well designed smartphone. It has an interactive panel interface that lets you personalise and modify the phone according to your needs. Another great feature in the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 mobile phone is the QWERTY keyboard. The buttons, though on the smaller side, are well spaced making it easy to text messages. The 3-inch WVGA display makes reading messages and seeing photos a great experience. The sliding keyboard is smooth and strong. To improve the ergonomic experience, the phone has a slightly arched design that outmatches its rivals in the league.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 runs the Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional Edition. This operating system gives a near desktop experience. The advantage of the Windows Mobile 6.1 is that the phone syncs with Microsoft exchange over air. You can read documents, spreadsheets and presentations very easily on your mobile itself. The highlight of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 mobile phone is the 3.2 megapixel camera. The picture and video quality are indeed worth mentioning. The sound quality of the speaker phones is a complete let down. The inbuilt memory of this mobile is very less, although you can add up to 16 GB using a memory card. The compact, stylish Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 mobile phone is a good choice, if you can afford to splurge.
