It's finally here. The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, a much-awaited Windows Mobile phone, is launching in the US the day after Thanksgiving - but only through Sony's own sonystyle.com store, and for $799.99.
We've been following the Xperia since it was first announced in February (article, video tour). It's even more customized than HTC's Windows Mobile phones, with its own SDK so developers can write the 'panels' that make up the Xperia's unique, nine-paned interface. Future models might not even run Windows Mobile, we learned a few months ago.
The current Xperia has a 3-inch, 800x480 touch screen, a 3.2-megapixel camera, and a slide-out keyboard. It runs Windows Mobile 6.1 and works on T-Mobile's EDGE network and AT&T's and foreign 3G networks. Find out more at the device's flashy official site.

Betamax and Clie come to mind when reading about an $800 PDA. Sony apparently ignores the market as they slowly circle the toilet bowl. Maybe Japan doesn't receive email re netbooks, ASUS, OLPC. Flexible screens, auto visor monitors, cell phone projection systems approach. All we really need in addition to what we have with the Tilt and iPhone, is an optional, occasional use larger external display.
