Boring video.
The Xperia has some truly nice features and it looks really nice.
But Windows Mobile... not sure about that. Looked kind of slow and complicated on the video but it's far from finished so they might be able to solve some software problems in time for release.
But the yet-to-be-revealed price point will probably be the reason not to buy it.
Unless you really, really, really, have got to use Windows Mobile for reasons unknown.

nice design and features! but i'm really worried about the fact that this phone runs on Windows Mobile OS. We all know the stability reputation of windows OS even on PC, just don't want my portable device to be plagued with errors! it is supposed to be a device on the go. Good thing there's the P5 option.

and by the way, there's no such thing as an IPhone killer? last i heard the phone already killed itself. Now you can by 2 iphone at the price of 1 :p lol

Too bad it runs WMP 6. Such a garbage OS. And the flippin' things like 800 GBP, yeah right! I'll wait for the 3G iPhone before I bought the X-1. Everyone always talks about "iPhone Killers"... NO SUCH THING!

if Sony Ericsson (or HTC) doesn't improve d turtle speed, midget menus and tiny objects (for better navigation n finger input without usin d stylus) and incorporate a proper video hardware into d X1, m sad to say this but i think xperia might EXPIRE sooner dan xpected after its release..

how boring is this video... with a phone like that, all you have shown is windows mobile.. great!! like weve never seen that before... show us how the menu really works with the different type of options, show us how a text or email is sent using the qwerty keyboard, dont bore us with going up and down on the buttons!

I agree the interface is slow. A better graphic card is needed. That said it seems very nice but with the high spec I expect a poor camera, which wont matter cause i have a viewty and the 2 phones will go hand in hand.

What a waste. The iPhone powers up and operates literally 10 times as quickly. SE should have stuck their own, Android or even the Flash GUI of the Viewty ontop of Symbian - something faster and better! Waste of sexy SE hardware. Add a magnetic clip on QWERTY keyboard to the 3G iPhone, and then we'll be rocking.

Quite slow interface ... but this is not a release. Maybe they still work on display drivers. Anyway, seems a bit smaller than I thought. Also, I love hi resolutions but this one maybe has too much for only 3" screen. Seems to be a good start for the mobile mini-computers/comunication devices of the future, anyway :)

Unfortunately, as you would see from the video, the X1 desperately cries for some dedicated video acceleration.

"holy crap" feeling pitty
