The Xperia!!!!

OMG!!!

Sony Ericsson has got a new baby and execs call it a “premium” convergence device and forewarn that it won’t be cheap, yet they promise the Xperia X1 mobile phone will be worth every cent you spend on it (hell it is!!).

The Xperia is smoking hot (this is gadget porn) That, of course, is an assertion that is yet to be verified as the device will only be available in North America in the second half of 2008.

However, the information and preview provided during the product’s launch at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Sunday created a buzz that resonated across the Web causing many geeks like me to drool all over . . . . .

One commentator hailed Xperia X1 as the new reference in terms of productivity and entertainment, and “the most exciting Windows Mobile phone since the Blackjack 2.”  Another observed that X1’s “luscious aluminum shell” and “amazingly sharp display” would “put Apple’s iPhone to shame.” i mean seriously!!

In the  Market prospect

Sony Ericsson itself is positioning Xperia X1 is a “game changing device” that that will take convergence to new levels. The company is avoiding use of the term “smart phone”, according Suzanne Cross, head product marketing manager for Sony Ericsson North America, well obviously this is something new!!

Pack Juice . . .

Company execs indicate that convergence is a blending entertainment and productivity features is at the very heart of Xperia X1. The features run the gamut, from entertainment and multimedia applications, to Web access, personal organizer-type capabilities, and a variety of communication options.

Sony Ericsson has gone the length with this device including a high-resolution touch screen quad-band GSM/EDGE, on board Wi-Fi for short-range networking, GPS for route finding, FM Radio and Bluetooth.

The X1’s Internet connectivity features are superior to any mobile phone Sony-Ericsson has ever produced to date.

This hottie offers HSUPA (High Speed Upload Packet Access) that transmits video and other media almost as quickly as it comes downstream: a feature is not available in some of the most advanced 3G phones.

And if your wondering what is powering all these features -a 520-MHz ARM11 processor running Windows Mobile 6 (ain’t that AWESOME!!).

Bottom notch, the XPERIA X1 is being positioned high, not just as a consumer or a productivity device, but one that offers you the best of both worlds: a “wicked” entertainment appliance, yet loaded with productivity features that the most fastidious mobile professional could use very effectively in an enterprise context

Xperia  . . . . . in ur ass iphone!!!

As it is said in the latter  . . . . . this ain’t going to be cheap
