The Sony Ericsson X1 Xperia was announced at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in the beginning of 2008 and it would take 8 months before the X1 became available in stores. A model running on the Windows Mobile platform was not anticipated at the time of the announcement. We were waiting for a new model in the P-series running Symbian OS9 with the UIQ user interface. UIQ is now history. P5 running Symbian was never announced but Sony Ericsson never said they would shut down the P-series. In fact, the next Xperia model could be a P-model. The Xperia part of the Sony Ericsson X1i Xperia is the name of a series of phone models. We will probably see more Xperia models in the near future. Running Symbian , Windows Mobile or even Android now that Sony Ericsson has joined the Open Handset Alliance.
Sony Ericsson X1 is available in two colour variants. Black and silver. It is a personal preference of course, but I think the sliver model has the most classic look. The price is a little over 700 EUR which is relatively costly. X1 is aimed at the business user, so the purchase price might be less important that the operating cost.
