Sony Ericsson Officially Announces US XPERIA X1 Launch - November 28

[Ash]

You know, It might not be Sony's fault all the way. Ask AT&T why wouldn't they carry it?
Besides, a few poster above already mentioned: It's a normal price for unbranded unlocked phone....which is still too high IMO...What kinda world we live in when a laptop is cheaper than a mobile phone?? :O

A world where a mobile phone is much more than just a phone. To me, voice calls is just one feature of the device. These PDAs are not primarily phones to me anymore. If a phone can do almost anything my laptop does and even remote log into my laptop when it cant, is it still just a phone? It will never replace a laptop for me, but its much more than a phone.

I see your point
Come to think of it, who am I to talk using a high cost Sony laptop

[wickettaker]

Heh, I agree with Ash. I just bought a Sony Vaio for $2300...

But that's for school so the parents understand :P

WAY too late, WAY too expensive, and Windows Mobile.

Could they have screwed it up worse? I've got a G1 now, because I got sick of waiting, and am loving it.

I was toying with the idea of the G1 as well. But my real reason for the X1 was the 800x480 screen. The rest of the features are "yeah, whatever". If I can't find an alternatve, I may go with the Touch Pro, if only to get at the available WinMo software base.

In principal, it should be possible to sign a 2-year contract with AT&T and get a SIM plus a few hundred dollars credit toward your bill. Does anyone know if such a deal can be had anywhere?
