Sounds like the Xperia X1 phone has finally been released. I’m not sure on the exact date, but it happened recently. Thank god I ended up getting the G1 (which I LOVE) and didn’t wait for this phone…retail price for the X1 is $799.99. You can purchase one at SonyStyle.com and I can’t tell which carrier it’s on or if it’s even with a carrier. It doesn’t really sound like it’s with any. From the very few reviews I’ve read about the X1, it seems like Windows Mobile is still laggy on this phone which is a huge bummer. That’s another good reason why I didn’t wait for this phone. I was hoping (if I had decided to get this phone) that the OS would be better…but apparently not. A laggy OS is something that would really drive me crazy. I don’t quite understand why Windows Mobile can’t get it right and make their OS better. There’s so many other mobile OS’s that can do it…why can’t they?
