Four years ago Sony Ericsson was a smartphone big hitter but since the days of the Symbian run P910 and the P990, it been relegated to the lower leagues. Recent powerful handsets like the iPhone 3G, T-Mobile G1, BlackBerry Storm, Samsung i8510 and Nokia’s unrelenting Nseries wrecking crew have taken up the smartphone baton and then some. But not to be outclassed, Sony Ericsson has responded with the X1 Xperia. Is it a return to former glories?
The biggest surprise is seeing a Sony Ericsson handset powered by the latest Windows Mobile OS. WinMo detractors should hold fire because the manufacturer has done a sterling job of window dressing the normally clunky business focused OS with its own seven panel menu system for switching between features. It’s a vast improvement but still not as seamless as we hoped.
