Xperia
Hi,
I got a chance to briefly play around with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 today.
Overall, I don't see it as strong competitor to the iPhone. The screen felt small and crammed. Tiny menu items. Obviously designed for a stylus ("who wants a stylus?").
Internet Explorer was not really functional. I brought up a leading Swedish news site, and it started showing big scrollbars around the all the frames. Couldn't get it to scroll down with my finger.
On the plus side, it did feel sturdy and well designed. Nice metal shell and keyboard.
Anyone else tried it?

Not available here in the USA yet.
How much did it cost?
Anyways, if you are using a Windows Mobile smartphone, get the Skyfire web-browser. I predict it will be the best WM browser. Overall, I don't think horizontal QWERTY slider phones will do that well due to ergonomic reasons. So, these types of designs are kind of for niche mobile geek or texting market.
Also, it looks to me that HTC did a better job then Sony-Ericsson on a new UI shell for WM. Samsung Touchwiz is probably better too. So, if you get your hands on a HTC Touch HD, I'm interested in hearing a first hand report.
