    Sony is about to release some real competition for the iPhone... (pics)

    If you are like me you were wondering why Apple increased the memory out of the blue on the iPhone when the Apple conference was just last month.


    Now I see why, they saw this thing coming:



    Originally posted by Engadget
    It's here, the XPERIA X1 QWERTY from Sony Ericsson. Yes, full QWERTY to make the most of that Windows Mobile 6 operating system. SE's new XPERIA brand will focus on multimedia and mobile web communication. The X1 then, brings a 3-inch wide VGA (800 x 480) touchscreen display, 3.2 megapixel camera (with photo light), A2DP Bluetooth, aGPS, WiFi, and microSD -- just 400MB on board. On the phone side you've got quad-band GSM/EDGE, and 900/1700/1900/2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA (or 850/1700/1900/2100MHz in what must be a US-bound model). Navigation is accomplished via touch, arc-sliding QWERTY, 4-way key and optical joystick. Now just replace that Internet Explorer Mobile browser with Opera Mobile 9.5 or Skyfire and the 110 x 53 x 16.7-mm X1 is ready to live up to its potential. You know, when it ships in "select markets" in the second half of 2008. Full specs posted after the break.
    That looks pretty hot.
    I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

                                Until I discovered LG, Sony/Ericsson was my chosen brand of phone.

                                  The integrated camera will make it useless in many business environments.

                                      This is true. I think it has less to do with the product, and more to do with the brand.


                                      I know you are a young whippersnapper ;) so you may not remember how back in the 80's and early 90's people used to look at Sony products the same way they do Apple's products today.

                                                plus being a Sony product you get a free rootkit!

                                                  seems the xperia is HTC built:

                                                  http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/n...-htc-makes-it/

                                                  ....
                                                  Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

                                                        i think the iphone and ipod and very nice products but where is the accountability where Apple as a corporation is concerned? I can't understand how they get away with making a phone with a non-replaceable battery not to mention tying said phone to a single network on a ludicrously priced 18 month contract.

                                                        And now ... Apple entusiasts and enjoy the worlds slimmest laptop ... again with a non replaceable battery; albeit the batter can be "repaired" at a cost by your nearest Apple store and within a reasonable 5 day turnaround.

                                                        Like I said, I think their product designs are nice, but not at the costs levied.

                                                        ...
                                                        Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

The haters of the iPhone typically already have a mobile PC device that they're happy with. The device from Sony shown above won't make anyone with an iPhone get rid of it, that's for f*ck sure.
