The chaps over at Terminal.hu have just managed to get hold of some very interesting Xperia X1 images. The new pictures show the device will be running the yet-to-be-announced Windows Mobile 6.1 OS, and that explains why we weren’t allowed a thorough hands-on at Mobile World Congress 2008. However, that is not all we have learnt from the new screen shots.
Besides what we knew before, we can now tell the Xperia X1 will have a Qualcomm 7200A CPU running at 528 MHz, 128MB RAM and a nice ‘n’ juicy, 1500 mAh battery. Sure, we were not overwhelmed with our first gimped hands-on, but on paper it looks like this sure is one beast. The 528 MHz processor has us excited, but with it being Windows Mobile, we’ll be surprised if the onboard RAM doesn’t prove itself to be insufficient for heavy multitasking.

What are the odds we’ll ever see this down here? :(

Actually pretty good – Sure, we’ll have to wait longer for it than the rest of the world, but expect it to be launched in Oz later this year. I’ll hit up SE locally to try and get some more precise dates, but they generally can’t tell me anything that far in advance…

I’m gonna hope they release it on 3, then. ^.^ I’ve been considering switching to Telstra to get a Hiptop, but now MS has bought Danger, and I don’t actually like Telstra, so there’s no incentive if I have an alternative like this, which I am firmly in love with. ^.^

i hope telstra relese this phone cause they are the only people with 3g and HSDPA were i live wich kinda sucks cause i hate telstra but i really want this phone!! i emailed SE and this is what they said
“he X1 will be available in early 2009 however this is subject to network approval and software is still to be confirmed also marketing and packaging release are yet to be decided”
but i hope that this email is wrong cause it would suck if i have to wait till 2009 to get it
