>> Hi, I'm Bonnie Cha [phonetic], senior editor at www.cnet.com.

>> And we're here in Los Vegas for CTIA 2008. Finally, got my hands on the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X I. This is their first window's mobile Smartphone. And it'll actually ship [assumed spelling] with Window's Mobile 6.1. It's got a really nice, a panel interface, that's pretty interesting. It also, pushes up this way. So you get a full, pretty [assumed spelling] keyboard here. And, you know, overall the hardware feels really nice. I'm really impressed with it. It's scheduled to ship second half of the year. But we're not sure about pricing yet. But this is one of the hot Smartphones that everyone's looking forward to, and I'm pretty excited about it too.

>> So this is your first look at the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X 1. ^M00:00:43 [ Music ]

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 - black (unlocked) Review

The good: The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 features an interactive panel interface that lets you customize the smartphone to your wants and needs. The Windows Mobile device also has an attractive design and a full QWERTY keyboard.

The bad: Without U.S.-carrier backing, the Xperia X1 has an exorbitant price tag. The navigation controls are difficult to use, and the Web browsing experience wasn't the greatest.

The bottom line: The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is a well-designed and fully stocked smartphone that offers great customization through the interactive panel interface. However, with its high price tag, the X1 will be a hard sell for most customers and will be a purely luxury item.
