X1 IS An H2 Product - We’ve Got The Official Statement!

Posted by Michell Bak at 3:24 pm in Exclusive, Windows Mobile, X series

Lately there have been some rumours about the release date of X1. It was said that it supposedly won’t see the light of the day till some time in February 2009. I’ve told many people otherwise and I have now fetched an official statement regarding the X1 and its release.

- I can confirm that we will be launching the X1 product in 2nd Half of 2008, as per our announcement of 10th February that we made in Barcelona, said Aldo Liguori, who is the Corporate Vice President of the Global Communications and PR department at Sony Ericsson.

So, there you have it. The only reason for the mysterious “10th of February release” is the fact that Sony Ericsson (or should I say Microsoft) has yet to decide on when to publicly announce the operating system and technical specifications of the X1, and thereby also a precise release date.

    Finally, an official statement and the the best thing i’ve hear about Xperia! :D

    My friend is seriously saving up when i told him on this beauty, and he got a little bit disappointed when the rumors that this will be released on 2009 leaked all over the SE page. but at last this was now axed by SE officially :D

    Now that’s the thing i’ve been expecting ever since. Thank you very much Michell Bak!

    Фууух, а то я уже подумал что придеться брать Tytn II. Бляааа, надеюсь что выпустят даже раньше, чем во второй половине 2008.

    Do you take this phone to be your lawful wedded next phone. Will you promise to love, hold and respect her throughout your years together?
    YEAH BABY YEAH!

  13. Ben says:

    So has anyone heard any NEW news on this phone? I’m going crazy waiting for it to come out. Anything people, please, I’m losing my mind over here.

  14. John says:

    I was going nuts waiting for new news on this dream machine’s release date. So I called Sony. The rep said end of May, beginning of june. Now I hope he wasn’t just telling me stories. I mean afterall, they don’t even have a carrier selected, so I’m a bit skeptical.

    Since I’ve read about this 2009 release rumour, I’ve felt really bad.
    Been really hating my TyTN II recently.
    I will have to hold on to it and prevent myself from a rash purchase before this baby comes out.
    IT IS CONFIRMED THAT THE HARDWARE AND 3D ACCELRATIONS ARE TO BE FULLY UTILIZED===DRIVERS:) Sony Ericcson XPERIA X1
    Also, I think for it to support 30fps media playback and video shooting, it must have it====for to be logic:)
    One of the drawbacks is that the keyboard doesn’t have arrow keys:(
    Also, it doesn’t have a Ctrl button:(
    A WORRY:
    this screen size might not be compatible with most of the programs we use:
    Navigon 6.2 GPS S/W
    Opera Browser 8.65
    NetFront 3.5 Browser
    Resco Media Suite
    GAMES:(
    I hope the above will work with no problems.

    Everything works on my TyTNII but I really hate the performance.
    The HTC Universal was my last true high performing PPC.
    I think I will go for a long sleep and wake up in September:)
    Good night:)
