Here are some screenshots from the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. XPERIA X1 is a horizontal slider phone based on Windows Mobile 6.1 Operating System. It is Sony Ericsson’s first mobile phone to feature Windows Mobile. More screenshots after the jump, and don’t forget to press the thumbnails for the full 480 x 800 pixels view. (more…)

The Unwired website has an extensive hands-on video of a pre-production unit of the XPERIA X1.  They claim that though the device was still based on the pre-production hardware, the ROM  build was way newer, from early september, so it should be a pretty good indication of how the final firmware will be. The 16 minutes long video, among other things, shows that switching from portrait to landscape mode takes far less time than before and also the panels start much faster than before.

The Inxperia website has now posted some of Sony Ericsson’s latest webcast in which we can have a glimpse of some more of  the XPERIA X1’s interface. This includes the X1’s design, the famed panel interface and its video playing abilities. The full webcast video will be available on the 17th.

Its just been confirmed that Sony Ericsson is going to launch the XPERIA X1 on the 30th of September and now Sony Ericsson’s Ramanath Bhat has hinted at the possibility of not only opening up the Panel interface for developers, which we’ve already heard about, but releasing the entire UI for other Windows Mobile phones. For those not in the loop, the XPERIA X1 can be personalised through its nine panel user interface to suit the user’s moods and lifestyle.  Users can access content quickly and directly through the touch screen, easily switching between applications by touching one of the unique customisable panels.
