Features:

Xperia’s design is what catches everyone’s attention in the beginning. It is a gorgeous phone with solid feel. Adding to its beauty is the slide out full QWERTY keyboard and its quality to lighten up the back of the keys when it is dark. The Touchscreen doesn’t go easily with finger touch; though it worked quite well with stylus. Instead of a D-pad or a touch panel, here is an optical joystick, for which one will need time and experience to get acquainted to.

It is one of the highly admired WinMobiles. One can choose from amongst the 7 user panels which are in built in the mobile. The main features include customizable home screen, 3.5mm headphone jack, EDGE and HSDPA, GPS navigation, 3.15 mp camera, video recording, multimedia playing, and fast speed wireless internet connectivity.

Xperia X1Pros:

Full QWERTY keyboard
Wireless connectivity
Customizable interactive panel interface
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional Edition

Cons:

Extremely pricey
Hard to use navigation keys
Acceptable web browsing

Final Words:

This is a stunning mobile phone with equally striking features; the price tag takes it out of the reach of most of the community though. If you have enough extra money, you should have a look at this fine piece of mobile communication system.
