Sony Ericsson's Xperia X1 gets handled, photographed

by Joshua Topolsky posted Jun 16th 2008 at 1:37PM

The lucky chaps over at Boy Genius Report have managed to get their hands all over Sony Ericsson's latest and greatest -- the hotly anticipated Xperia X1. Early word is that the 800 x 480 screen, optical joystick, and speedy HSDPA data are all very welcome, but the keyboard (which looks like it would be a joy to type on) leaves a lot to be desired. Of course, the OS should come as no surprise, and they don't seem to have any shots of Sony's "panel interface," so for now you'll have to make do with some nice looks at the exteriors of the device. Hit the read link and check it out yourself.

And I can expect, say, Verizon to pick this one up?

Sony Ericsson only makes GSM phones, which pretty much means AT&T and T-Mobile. I've heard that AT&T may be picking this up but I'm not sure how much of that is fact based and how much is rumor.

I have to say, this angle of the phone makes it look much more boring than other angles I've seen:

Is the screen flush? It looks like it may be recessed just a bit...so it can continue to be a fantastic implement for catching both dust AND pocket lint.

jmferrt1 - man, don't kill yourself. There are no cool phones that aren't GSM...and Verizon isn't. Either you have to switch to ATT or stop looking @ phone pRon!
