Sony Xperia X1

The Sony Xperia X1 was originally released on a Windows mobile (6.0) platform. Back then, the phone was no better than a high-tech paperweight. It looked nice, sure, but worked just about as well as a… well a Windows mobile, I guess. But with its recent software update, the phone fits comfortably and capably into the same ecosystem that every other Android phone calls home. With its well designed curved back and slide-out QWERTY keyboard, the X1 is really starting to show some potential. It’s still a bit slow and laggy, but you’re definitely getting what you paid for with this one.
