The Sony Ericsson’s K550 was recently spotted in a luxury version, dressed in Swarovski crystals. Although dressing up phones with these crystals is pretty common, what was unusual was the manner in which it was dressed up. On the front case, the crystals are placed around the phone’s display, while on the back they’re encased in such way that they make a round shape and even cover the photo camera’s protective lens! We’re not sure how many users would actually like to buy it, but we’ll leave you with the pics to decide!

There’s no details regarding the price of this luxury edition, and its still unclear whether more such handsets will be available or this one’s just a unique handset combined with the luxurious Swarovski crystals. Regardless of its availability, this luxurious K550 will only have the standard features of this type of handset.

The folks at Boy Genius Report have managed to get their hands on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. So what’s their verdict? Right from the 800×480 VGA screen, optical joystick, speedy HSDPA , the device impresses, and you really can’t throw any more specs in! With looks to die for, its not surprising that the X1 is the #1 Windows Mobile device people are waiting for. Their Sony Ericsson X1 gallery doesn’t have any shots of the Panel interface, so for now you’ll have to make do with some shots of the nice looking exteriors of the device.

Released back in October 2007 exclusively for the Japanese market, Sony Ericsson W53S is now available with 100 different faces or Panels, created either by Sony Ericsson, Disney or by famous designers from Tokyo and the world. So it pretty much gets the title of the “most customizable” mobile handset created until now

By default, the W53S comes with only one face [well, normally phones do come with one only ;-)] but users can buy any of the other 99 faces (or panels, as many like to call them) and change the appearance of the handset everyday. So it’ll be quite helpful for the moody!

The handset features a 2.7 inch TFT internal display with 240 x 432 pixels and 260,000 colors, a 1 inch OLED external screen, built-in GPS with maps, a 2 Megapixel camera with auto focus, flash and video recording, a “Jog Dial” navigation pad, Web and email capabilities, Media player, access to music and video online stores, two 3D stereo speakers, mobile wallet, 100MB of built-in memory and microSD card support. Coming in a clamshell form factor, the W53S weighs 117 grams and, when closed, it measures 107 x 49 x 20 millimeters.

Another good example of a state of the art handset, exclusively for the Japanese market. Does make us wonder when we’ll be able to lay our hands on such beauties
