Sony Ericsson has confirmed that it will be running Windows Mobile on its new arc-slider phone, XPERIA X1. Using Windows Mobile 6.1, together with Sony Ericsson’s unique XPERIA panel user interface (UI), will enable a highly user-focused experience with enhanced connectivity, messaging and multimedia features.

The XPERIA X1 from Sony Ericsson enables consumers to personalize their experiences through a distinctive touch screen, panel-based UI creating an interface which is relevant to them. This continually active desktop allows users to organize the phone’s active dashboard as they want, changing between panels, activity and information needs in the course of every day.

“Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X1 has been developed to ensure that mobile web communication and multimedia entertainment can be tailored, putting the individual at the heart of the mobile experience in a uniquely personal way,” said Rikko Sakaguchi, Head of Portfolio and Propositions, Sony Ericsson.


Operators will also be able to custom build the touch panels that run on the XPERIA X1 to provide the consumer with a rich, aggregated offering of their applications and services. In addition, Sony Ericsson also plans to align with key partners around the panel technology to enable them to develop exciting applications that can be enjoyed by users on the XPERIA X1. Its features also include a touch sensitive optical panel for navigation, Bluetooth with A2DP, a 3 megapixel auto-focus camera with a flash, built in GPS that supports A-GPS, a motion sensor for automatic UI rotation.

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 will be available in select markets in the second half of 2008.
