Are you sure? There is conflicting information...some places microSD.

[Ovie]

Has anyone managed to find out what the processor, RAM/ROM is? I can't find any information except that it has "over 400mb of phone memory"!

Gizmodo video bloke said a 528MHz CPU, so i'm guessing one of the new intel/Marvell chips?

[mandt]

Only just caught all this after being off all weekend,

Suddenly my Kaiser looks like a POS

In the original article in russian (Xperia review) Mobile-Review explains that SE is not allowed to show anything more than their touch task manager at the Barcelona demo stand, because Xperia is built on the new version of Windows Mobile 6.5 (or some other name) that will precede arrival of WM7 in 2009. It will debut in Sep/Oct and will be the most important overhaul of OS interface in its history, will contain improvements to touch navigation, feature fully reworked media/video player, will support 3D-accelerators on OS-level (whatever that means) to combat iPhone & Symbian Co.

" ...Она будет публично анонсирована летом этого года или чуть позже, а первые устройства появятся в конце сентября, начале октября. Сроки готовности ОС тонкая материя и с уверенностью утверждать, что называемые сегодня сроки останутся таковыми и через месяц нельзя, они ориентировочны. Важно отметить, что WM 6.5 (название придуманное и просто вводится мной для удобства, кодовое имя ОС другое, как и номер) это крупнейшее обновление интерфейса WM за все прошедшие годы, ориентация ОС на управление с помощью пальцев, переработка музыкального плеера, видео плеера, поддержка аппаратных 3D ускорителей на уровне ОС, ряд других улучшений... "

I like the idea of the 9 homesceens for that part of your life or day... but it seems like a toy right now. TyTn II does the buisness so far

My money's on microSD - the press release should be the most accurate source, the product page is just something knocked up by some poor guy that's already typed "Memory Stick Micro" a hundred times for every other phone on the site, and gotten confused.  That site also lists a whole pile of compatible accessories for the X1, most of which require the standard Sony Ericsson Fastport connector - which the X1 very clearly doesn't have!  Trust me, you'd see it in the pictures if it was there (it's a lot bigger than the mini-USB which definitely is present).

SE have relaxed a little on the Memory Stick front in recent times - their latest camera phone, the K850, has a slot for both Memory Stick Micro and MicroSD.  It may be that Sony are recognising there's more important things in life...

It better be a MicroSD!

It all looks pretty perfect so far to me, which is never true for WinMo devices, I'm still waiting to hear some downsides (apart from the price of course!)

[Shuflie]

So does the Xperia have an iphone type orientation sensor or is the last bit of the video on their website a bit of marketing spin? (To see what I mean look at the bit that shows the panels view switching from portrait to landscape as the phone is rotated)

H2 seems like an awful long way away!

And to think, I've only had my Kaiser since it was launched (August? So less than 6 months!!).

[pd.ryder]

Hmm, I think my upgrade should be due toward the latter half of June 08. Hopefully someone will have picked it up by then...

[Leaskovski]

it looks good!  Maybe i can at least get ride of my Vario! lol

[dpeilow]

At last a WinMo devide with not only a good spec but an amazing spec  

I am most definitely coming back to the fold. Orange - if you don't get this on launch day I am switching networks after 9 years.


To answer an earlier question, it does appear to have a tilt sensor in a Barcelona demo vid I saw on YouTube.

Woah woah woah...hold on there a minute buddy.

The so far the xperia "looks" good.

The Kaiser IS good.

Lets reserve final judgement until we have had some proper reviews and some of us get some hands on impressions up.

I agree though, it does look freakin' hot doesnt it!!

[chucky.egg]

I guess I'm the only one that thinks it looks kinda chunky and has horrible triangular buttons on the front, eh?
