Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 Windows Mobile Touch UI XPERIA

Today Sony Ericsson announced the official launch date of their most eagerly expected handset – the XPERIA X1. One of the hottest names of the season will start shipping as early as 30th September in the UK, Germany and Sweden. Wider market availability in Europe, Asia and Latin America will follow until the end of Q4.

Earlier rumors that the X1 is delayed for the Q1 of 2009 were troubling the Windows Mobile fans. They can now have a sigh of relief and their only concern should be the tough choice between the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 and the HTC Touch Pro. The two most feature-packed WinMo devices are surely in for a tough fight.
