I'm kinda looking forward on this X1 (it's coming out this month in Mexico's Telcel network), but being SonyEricsson the only complain would be the price (and possibly the battery performance under constant 3G)... And considering that my trusty Nokia E71 cost me almost half as much of what I paid for my last WM device I had (HTC Kaiser)... I've been spoiled!

Oh and those recessed screens are just plain fugly and a PITA when you try to use your finger to do simple tasks as pressing the X on the corner or sometimes even finger typing with PhonePad or similar SIPs.

P.S.- Screen protectors are a must on devices with touchscreens (and even touchscreen-less) regardless of recessed or flushed screen design.

I like the review - well done (as always). I am considering whether to get this or the HTC Touch Diamond Pro for my next phone come July (ish) 2009 - that is when the Verizon contract is up and there is no sense in dropping it any earlier than I need to. I'm using the 6800 now and it is serving me well however the keyboard is slowly starting to go...
Switching to ATT is going to open up a whole new world of phones which I am eagerly looking forward to.
So what are your thoughts? This or the HTC Pro?

That would probably still be true, if they were making the hardware. But since HTC is making it, you can stand your guard down

I do have to admit that this is the first Sony product I might buy since their music CD rootkit fiasco. Assuming it comes out to the US before I break down on the PS3, that is...
