After the short video demo we had yesterday, this morning I had some more quality time to get my hands on a Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1, Sony Ericsson's brand new and much anticipated Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional smartphone. You've seen the specs already, so it's time for a first hand experience. The XPERIA X1 feels good and even if it was a prototype only, it's feeling rocking solid. The opened device is well balanced to hold it and use the semi-sliding keyboard and the keyboard size seems to be good enough to even type some longer E-Mails. As of today, it looks like, Sony Ericsson isn't using the kind of frameless "bio touch" display as HTC uses for its Touch devices but this screen reminds more on a classic Windows Mobile touchscreen as we had it before with the HP iPAQs but now, let us have a look: [ Permalink ] (c) 2008 by the::unwired - All Rights Reserved

No question, the Toshiba Portégé G710 isn't that new anymore in terms of its announcement, since it was announced last month already, just one day before Vodafone announced its G710 version but today was the first time I got my hands on this new Windows Mobile 6 Standard smartphone we will see released later this Spring. Featuring quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE as well as Bluetooth, this entry-level QWERTY thumb-keyboard smartphone lacks WiFi support as well as UMTS. Nevertheless, it sports an inbuilt GPS receiver which makes it interesting again. What I definitely dislike is the trackball Toshiba uses instead of a D-Pad and - in my humble opinion - makes the navigation through the device a little bit inconvenient: [ Permalink ] (c) 2008 by the::unwired - All Rights Reserved
