The Xperia X1 is an unreleased smartphone from Sony Ericsson, the first in the manufacturer's Xperia series. Upon its release in the second half of 2008,[3] it will be Sony Ericsson's flagship mobile phone. The X1 first was presented at the 2008 Mobile World Congress.

Basics

The X1 is a horizontal slider phone based on the upcoming Windows Mobile 6.1 Operating System. It is Sony Ericcson's first mobile phone to feature Windows Mobile.[4]

The phone features a three-inch touchscreen overlaying a QWERTY keypad which emerges when the user slides the touchscreen face upward, much as in the HTC TyTN II, although the X1's touchscreen slides out at an arc. Its touchscreen is a 65,536-color TFT WVGA display. It has a 3.2 megapixel digital camera which records video at thirty frames per second. It features a variety of connectivity options: mini-USB; wireless LAN 802.11b/g; Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, FTP, and HID; EDGE; and quad-band GSM, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, and HSCSD. The X1 has 400 megabytes of internal memory, which is expandable to 32 gigabytes using High Capacity microSD cards, although currently only cards up to 8 gigabytes have been released by SanDisk.[5]

Due to the restricitons of Windows mobile, the phone will be the first business phone by Sonyericsson which is not capable to utilize the PCS network feature Alternate line service, which was once introduced by a collaboration of Orange(UK) and Ericsson.

Several software features will come standard on the X1, such as handwriting recognition software similar to Palm OS's Grafitti software (handwriting may be by an included stylus), an integrated aggregator for viewing RSS feeds, and push email.

The device is powered by Qualcomm's ARM 11 MSM7200A CPU, which runs at 528Mhz. It has 128MB of RAM.

Specifications

  • 3" touchscreen with a resolution of 800x480 pixels (WVGA)

User Input

The "home" screen of the Xperia X1 is comprised of nine panels displayed simultaneously, which the user can customize. The interface is arranged in a 3D effect which works whenever the user had activated the landscape mode or had tapped on a window. The interface virtually stands on top of the User Interface platform.

The X1 is navigated by using either the touchscreen, the QWERTY keyboard, a 4-direction navigation key, and an "optical joystick." As a Windows Mobile device, the touchscreen is fully capable of navigating the entire user interface.

The phone also features a unique "touch-autofocus" function, which enables the user to tap on a certain focus position on the screen. the touch-autofocus takes advantage of its 3.0" WVGA display.
