Sony Ericsson Xperia Play review

 

The PlayStation Phone. We've had quite the intimate history with this gamepad-equipped slider, learning of its secretive existence way back in August and then handling a prototype unit in January, so you'll forgive us for feeling sentimental and still...

Gamepad works well ; Stereo speakers ; Good graphics performance

Dim, woeful screen ; Lack of compelling content ; Poor video recording (no 720p)

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 review: A new experience

 

There's a lot to fall for in Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. Possibly the hottest looker of a PocketPC is also heavy on skill. Heavy enough to not just scratch out a living as a one-hit-wonder but aim for the WinMo top. The extra solid metal looks, gorgeous...

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support plus HSDPA 7.2Mbps ; 3-inch 65K-color WVGA touchscreen ; Qualcomm MSM7200 528 Mhz CPU and 256 MB DDR SDRAM ; 3.15 MP auto focus camera with VGA video recording ; Four-row full QWERTY slide-out keyboard ; Wi-Fi and...

Body is a bit on the bulky side ; User interface is hardly thumb-optimized ; Mediocre camera performance ; No built-in accelerometer ; Poor display sunlight legibility ; Records low quality VGA@30fps video in 3GP format ; No TV-out port ; No full Flash...

Let's not waste any more time now and get rolling with the actual review of Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. Unboxing is this little jump ahead

Sony Ericsson Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1

 

Sony Ericsson's first Windows Mobile device, the Xperia X1, got a lot of buzz last year for its slick and customizable software interface and stylish design. Although the Sony Xperia X1 is a feature-packed, well-designed handset with excellent...

Slick Windows Mobile overlay ; Eye-catching ergonomic design

Expensive, even for an unlocked phone ; Windows Mobile is sluggish

Though the stylish Xperia X1 offers a variety of features, it can't compete with less expensive smart phones on the market.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

 

The super-luxe, unlocked Xperia X1 would be a decent Windows Mobile smartphone choice if it cost half as much.

Powerful processor. New Panel interface is the best Windows Mobile home-screen hack so far. Opera browser.

Insanely expensive. Buggy. Not a great voice phone.

Review: Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

 

We've been waiting since CTIA to get our mitts on a fully baked X1. As the full-featured flagship of Sony Ericsson's multimedia phones we had...

Full featured yet surprisingly sturdy. 800 x 480 touchscreen is both highly responsive and razor sharp. Rockstar battery life for calls, standby and even web use. Decent data speeds over 3G and WiFi. Tweakable status lights range from discreet to...

Essentially a lazy, fragmented and expensive implementation of legitimately good ideas. QWERTY pad feels unnecessarily flat and lacks arrow keys. Optical joypad is waaaay too recessed to be useful. Lengthy pitches for Sony Ericsson, Xperia and WinMo...

The Xperia X1 is a smart phone with an excellent construction, display and processor. It is best used with a Microsoft Exchange Server, but Active Sync and POP or IMAP should work OK too. The X1 was the best Windows Mobile phone before the recent...

The launch of Sony Ericsson?s premium high-end brand XPERIA back in February was a courageous and highly unexpected move that now seems to be one of the most brilliant moves in a long time. Without further ado, here is to our in-depth review of what is...

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10a Review

 

Approximately over six months ago, AT&T's Android lineup was barren except for the sole offering of the Motorola BACKFLIP – something that was regarded as being a travesty when you think about all the high-end offerings available up until that point....

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 Review

 

Windows Mobile has always been a powerful but clunky OS, but recently we've seen manufacturer efforts to clean it up and make it more user-friendly. Sony Ericsson has thus far stayed out of the WinMo realm, but with the Xperia X1 they are making a...
