We got our grubby mitts all over the latest and greatest from Sony Ericsson, including that new
C905 8 megapixel monstrosity, and, of course, the
Xperia X1. The C905 is certainly no slouch in the camera department, with that for-serious Xenon flash and dedicated camera keys, but you'll pay for it in thickness -- the C905 is a good deal thicker than its Walkman counterparts, though that does leave room for a nicely formed slide-out keypad. The C905 is capable of geotagging pictures, but can't upload on the fly to photo services just yet like Nokia's new phones, though such capability is in the works. While the C905 seems finely honed for a specific purpose, the
Z780 flip phone seems much more plain jane in comparison, with a rather large size despite its "slim proportions" and a lack of detailing in styling to make it really pop. But, of course, who needs all that featurephone nonsense when you've got the X1 staring 'em all down? We got to twiddle around with an out-of-battery Xperia for a minute, and it's certainly one of the thickest and heaviest phones headed for the market in the near future -- though the upside of that is some glorious build quality, an immense WVGA screen and an expansive, highly touchable keyboard. SE certainly does seem to have something for everybody, but with Moto
apparently working on an 8 megapixel camera of its own, and touchscreen rivals to the X1 hogging all the spotlight, SE's isn't looking at an easy road to bumping back that profitability. Oh, and in case you were interested, the gallery below also includes the
W760 sporting a black finish, a pink-ish red-ish
W580 and the wonderfully tiny
W350i.

Would it have killed you to turn that beautiful X1 on??
Great gallery though...
substance90 @ Jun 25th 2008 10:13AM
The battery of the Xpertia was out, don`t you read? ;)

What part of that did you not get?
CarpeD1em500 @ Jun 25th 2008 10:25AM
a) I'll admit I didn't read the post - the 80 picture gallery grabbed my attention, and it's still early on Wed. morning, sorry.
b) My cell phone, PSP, and....maybe my DS all turn on for a bit when the battery is dead, at least showing the screen being lit .. so maybe they could've done that? no? oh well..
sry bout not reading.
J @ Jun 25th 2008 10:32AM
Shouldn't they be able to charge the X1 using the mini-usb port? Even the 'old' P990i was able to do this...
Phil Bieber @ Jun 25th 2008 9:41AM
Can you say anything about the X1's keyboard? I've heard / read that the sliding scratches the keys, which would be quite bad...
Thanks alot for all those pics... now I'm even less sure about which phone to pick HTC Touch Pro or X1... =/
Cheers
Phil
Abhinav @ Jun 25th 2008 10:04AM
Aaaaaargh Turn the phone on plsssssssssss..
Is that just a model???
Can't wait to get rid of my N95 for the SE Xperia X1...
How does it feel to touch THE PHONE?
Itsuru @ Jun 25th 2008 10:10AM
I'm not so sure whether to buy the HTC Touch Diamond now : l
Abhinav @ Jun 25th 2008 10:17AM
Haha I'd say go with SE... the X1's made by HTC too and the X1's screen is bigger and better...
Amol @ Jun 25th 2008 10:47AM
Did you guys mean that it had absolutely no battery when you said "We got to twiddle around with an out-of-battery Xperia for a minute..."? Because otherwise I don't see why you couldn't charge it :
zann243 @ Jun 25th 2008 10:51AM
*drool*
OH NO! IT GOT ON THE PHONE!
*faint*
w @ Jun 25th 2008 11:13AM
i'm buying the xperia;
hopefully it wont be too long until i can put android on it.
thedesolate1 @ Jun 25th 2008 11:35AM
This Is Drool Worthy News...
chickenator @ Jun 25th 2008 12:06PM
nice.
hazmat @ Jun 25th 2008 12:13PM
The X1 runs Windows Mobile, which is a deal breaker for a lot of people.
xstream @ Jun 25th 2008 1:27PM
i love the X1 and i love win mobile cause you can just do anything with it and i you can't you just install the software to do it. it may be more complicated then most other mobile phone systems but its worth it. i hope the X1 will be available in germany soon. my phone got stolen and i just can't wait any longer to get that X1 to replace that old thing i use now
X1 ftw
Jamar @ Jun 25th 2008 1:42PM
No optical zoom? Why?
Kiltman67 @ Jun 25th 2008 2:11PM
Really need a release date for the XPERIA. Don't know much about the mobile industry, is this normal? Maybe I'm too stuck in gaming where there always seems to be a date, even if the game ends up delayed.
My contract is up in a month or two and not knowing what's going on with this phone isn't helping me decide what phone to get next.
xstream @ Jun 25th 2008 3:40PM
there are some signs that point to a release in september

engadget @ Jun 25th 2008 2:32PM
I need a phone that can trigger a mp3 when I open the flip. Ala, star trek.
I like the C905, would be a great upgrade from my K790.
Sarig @ Jun 25th 2008 2:45PM
For all of engadget's mocking of blurry photos, couldn't they invest in a proper camera/lens of their own? Most of these shots were unclear/noisy/out of focus. Not to the extent of most blurry-rumour pics, but stil, they're a long way from anything you'd expect on a site dedicated to gadgets, including cameras.

George @ Jun 25th 2008 10:14PM
Did I read correctly that the C905 would have a slide-out keypad? Does the demo model not have the keypad, or did I just miss the picture that showed this?
KilgoreTrout @ Jun 26th 2008 2:44AM
I am a notorious paranoid but how comes that whenever anybody is reviewing the Xperia there always seem to be some silly glitch?
The battery was down. I forgot the pin code. I can't find the guy with the keys to the glass case...
I've got a feeling that we are gonna see HTC's dream +Android before a working X1 makes it to the real world
