I’ve just been reading about the new Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 and all I can say at this point is ‘WANT’ – It looks lovely, on a second glance it doesn’t do anything special or have anything that make is completely unique apart from a nice big screen with a good resolution and a funny arc design which makes it curve but I still want it – it looks hot and is a good icebreaker (which by now I’m sure you’ve gathered is quite important to me). It appears to be running the latest version of windows mobile, which I have absolutely no experience with but I hope it has plenty of 3rd party applications available as they make things interesting for me.
The phone also has some good 3D rendering and abilities which I’m sure makes it a bit more fun to use (much like the iPhone). I’ve just found on wiki that its got wi-fi which is great news for me as I can see that this combined with the qwerty keyboard should make it a good little web surfer (as long as the software is able and it can render well, I would imagine that with its clever 3Dness and the resources it needs for it that it would manage web browsing rather well)

Looks good Mike. I’ve been looking at the XDA Stellar from O2. It’s a HTC device I think but I can’t remember/be bothered to find out for now lol.
Despite having my wonderful N800 and N95 from Nokia I find that I would really like a Windows Mobile device so I can synch everything properly. I am using OneNote a lot at the moment and that too can synch with a WM device.
My only niggle is that the Stellar only has a 3MP camera (N95 = 5MP) and I like to take photos and never remember my Sony camera but always have my phone. Maybe there might be a better model out next time I renew my contract (probably not with O2 though).

Looks nice OK but it’s a windoze mobile. With all the problems that come with it (Blackberry incompatibility, you need a data centre in order to send a bloody email to your mobile from work etc etc.). I hope this is a momentary glitch and that SE is not abandoning Symbian.
As for the “3D rendering” I guess it needs to address the iPhone trendy hype-prone crowd. I’d rather have a phone that works than bells and whistles.
