Sony Ericsson intros Windows Mobile-based XPERIA brand

Interesting news is coming from Barcelona, where Sony Ericsson has introduced a new brand of Windows Mobile smartphones XPERIA at Mobile World Congress 2008. The first device the XPERIA X1 is packed with high-end features, including 3 inch Wide VGA touchscreen, 3.2MP camera, WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth radios. XPERIA is the first original brand coming from handset maker. Before, Sony Ericsson utilized Sony’s legacy brands such as Walkman, Cyber Shot and Bravia. The new brand reflects the growing importance of mobile web and multimedia entertainment experiences on mobile devices as the iPhone showed the way they should be delivered to end-users. Sony Ericsson joins other handset OEMs in accelerating race to come up with iPhone killer. It seems that in this race, handset OEMs try to put any possible radio and feature into the phone while missing the importance of seamless experience, intuitive UI and physical design – the points where iPhone continues to have no match. Plus the multi-touch. I hope the XPERIA X1 will get closer as it can get to iPhone as we consumers will benefit from more product innovations from different vendors.
