Sony Ericsson today confirmed that it will be running Windows Mobile® 6.1 on its stand-out arc-slider phone, XPERIA™
X1, the innovative multimedia phone announced at this year’s Mobile
World Congress. 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.
As the mobile broadband comes of age, consumers are waking up to the
vast array of multimedia services and content they can access on the
move through their mobile phone. The XPERIA™ X1 from Sony
Ericsson enables consumers to personalise their experiences through a
distinctive touch screen, panel-based UI creating an interface which is
uniquely relevant to them and how they live their lives. This
continually active desktop allows users to organise the phone’s active
dashboard as they want, changing between panels just like they change
their mood, activity and information needs in the course of every day.
“No two individuals have the same tastes and desires. 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.
The Sony Ericsson XPERIA™ brand of multimedia mobile phones will
bring a totally new user experience to the mobile phone market, putting
the consumer at the heart of their experience and allowing the
individual to create a touch panel dashboard that is unique to them and
how they live their life.
The Sony Ericsson XPERIA™ X1 will be available in selected markets in the second half of 2008
