    Let me start off by saying that this phone could easily become the Blackberry killer! 

    The Sony Ericsson X1 is truly unbelievable and is also very sexy. Check out the specs below. The phone is not yet out in North America but should be arriving shortly. I should get my hands on it soon enough and give you guys a  full review. In the meantime check out some details and specs below

    Enjoy access to different experiences – Web, multimedia, applications – from your desktop. Navigate with the tip of your finger. Configure and have your XPERIA™ panels just the way you want them.

    Multiple navigation

    The XPERIA™ X1 lets you interact in numerous intuitive ways. Touch, full QWERTY, 4-way key and optical joystick – you switch seamlessly between operation modes.

    The arc design gives the XPERIA™ X1 a distinctive and unique look. Slide the screen upwards to reveal the wide-pitch QWERTY keyboard.
