Latest Buzz On Xperia

With all the excitement leading up to the release of the Xperia X1 there have been many new videos posted by people who were able to attend the recent showcase events of the upcoming release by Sony Ericcson.

There has been a lot of news circulating since Sony Ericcson issued the official September 30, 2008 date for the UK, Sweden, and Germany. For instance, one common question is about the release date in America, which has now been confirmed as being released on Nov. 3, 2008 by the American Sony Ericcson representatives. (Up until now most of the information on the xperia x1 has come from the UK)

Many people may also be interested in knowing that it has been confirmed that the xperia x1 will be released in both silver and black by the crew at the official Sony Ericcson blog website. As of right now, there are no plans to release the Smartphone in any other colors, but if this bothers you than you are probably forgetting about the multitude of skins that are sure to hit markets after the phone does.

Another notable piece of news from the xperiancers website is that the Xperia X1 comes equipped with a very sophisticated chipset so that movies and film clips uploaded or recorded on the upcoming Sony Ericcson phone will be viewable in DVD quality.

This speaks highly of the time and effort that went into making the xperia x1, and helps soothe the pain of how long we have been waiting for its release.

Additionally, the SE Xperia X1 will come loaded with an ATI 3D gaming chip so it can support very high level games. Thus, for those of you who were wondering if the X1 would permit you to support your World of Wars, gaming habits, you can rest at night knowing the Xperia creators had your best interests in mind.

Plus, for those on the other end of the spectrum, who have been wondering about the musical abilities of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, there is still no news about rather the new Sony Play multimedia downloader will be supported.

However, the good news is that a BT speaker accessory will be immediately available for purchase so you can use your phone to its max mp3 abilities soon after purchase. (That is if you have any cash left!)

In fact, if you have the cash there are some more prominent accessories you may want for your new xperia x1 including a travel charger, hands free headset, extra battery, and a speakerphone. You can check out some pictures of the accessories here if you wish. One thing you will notice about all the accessories is that they are just as streamlined as the Xperia X1 itself!

they also said this!

"According to a Sony Ericsson rep at the CTIA Wireless trade show today, the X1 will not have separate European and US hardware versions, so the UK model will work well in the US."

But wait, I'm confused. I thought that the original comment that Sony Ericsson stated was that it was coming out 9-30-08 for UK and Sweden and sometime late December for Asia and sometime in Q1 2009 for America?

This is just getting too confusing. I would more expect the Q1 2009 for America because when have we ever gotten something as quick as 33 days after the UK (when it comes to phones).
