Basics
The X1 is an arc-slider phone with the Windows Mobile 6.1 Operating System. It is Sony Ericsson's first mobile phone to feature Windows Mobile.[4] . Device also has java virtual machine (JBed) and suppors JavaME [2] that is claimed to have richer set of features than typically available..
The phone features a three-inch touchscreen overlaying a QWERTY keypad which emerges when the user slides the touchscreen face upward, much as in the HTC TyTN II, although the X1's touchscreen slides out in an arc. Its touchscreen is a 65,536-color TFT WVGA display. It has a 3.2 megapixel digital camera which records video at thirty frames per second in VGA (640x480) quality. There is also a secondary front facing camera for videoconferencing that is of QCIF format. Connectivity options for the phone include: mini-USB; wireless LAN 802.11b/g; Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, FTP, and HID; EDGE; and quad-band GSM, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, and HSCSD. The X1 has 512MB of internal memory (400MB free), which is expandable to 32 gigabytes using High Capacity microSD cards, although currently only cards up to 16 gigabytes have been released by SanDisk.[5] The phone also features A-GPS for navigation.[6].
The X1 ships with Opera Mobile pre-installed.
Contrary to the previous information, this phone also is able to use the GSM network feature Alternate line service.[7]
Standard features on the X1 include push email, an RSS feed aggregator, and handwriting recognition.
The device is powered by Qualcomm's ARM 11 MSM7200A CPU, which runs at 528 MHz. The device's memory is 384[8]MB RAM.

The Xperia X1 was supposed to be released on September 30, 2008, in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Sweden, but this date was actually the shipping date of the handset. It became available to the UK market on October 27 (only on Vodafone) but it is not clear when it will be released to the rest of the EU.

In Europe it will be sold only in Fnac stores (Belgium and France). In South Africa, it will be released to the public on December 16, 2008. The North American release date was expected to be announced on November 3rd, 2008; however, it was not.
