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:

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.

And if you ever need to use their support... be sure to set aside half of the day, and plan to not be satisfied. :2 cents:

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

Davy 02-10-2008 03:23 PM

The integrated camera will make it useless in many business environments. :2 cents:

They will never compete with the Iphone.

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.

VeriSexy 02-11-2008 03:50 AM

That looks pretty bad ass

EuroRev_Stacey 02-11-2008 03:52 AM

RazorSharpe 02-11-2008 05:34 AM

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.

niiiiiice.....

Damian_Maxcash 02-11-2008 09:44 AM

The QWERTY KB is the thing that would win me over.

My contract is for about the same price as my old Verizon one and that was just for phone service.

Scott McD 02-11-2008 09:49 AM

Looks good to me !! :thumbsup

Not been impressed much with the iPhone so far...

Gary_TLX 02-11-2008 10:16 AM

Looks awesome. :)

just a punk 02-11-2008 10:18 AM

In my opinion the REAL competitor for iPhone is ANY Pocket PC that was selling for a long time before Apple has announced their shitty device.

DirtyProfits 02-11-2008 10:29 AM

ugly .

LB-69 02-11-2008 10:29 AM

I have Sony Ericsson P1i and its pretty good competition to Iphone already, touch screen, video, camera, internet+icq/msn/yahoo/ and more chat clients. Will wait to upgrade for that XPERIA X1 QWERTY !

Steve Awesome 02-11-2008 10:32 AM

The iPhone is its own genre and is meant to make people who would have otherwise had a normal phone cross over into the true mobile pocket pc device zone that wouldn't have before. 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.
