Sony Ericsson announced the highly anticipated XPERIA X1 Windows Smartphone in February. The XPERIA X1 is slated for a release in the second half of 2008, but Boy Genius Report already got their hands on the first Sony Ericsson Windows Smartphone.

Quote: "Let’s not forget the physical design of the device as it’s one of the coolest and hippest-looking phones we’ve seen in a very long time. Since our unit isn’t a production version, the software runs a little slow. Even so, in most tasks, it performs very well. We can’t wait to play with a final production unit.
It has us that impressed! One major flaw, though… Do you really want to know? The keyboard! Listen guys, if you’re going to throw on a QWERTY, at least make sure it’s worth having, ok?"
