Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1: Available Nationwide starting Nov. 14


We’ve got great news for all those Sony Ericsson loyalists and techies who have been patiently waiting for the arrival of the XPERIA X1 locally. We’ve received confirmation that the XPERIA X1 will hit Sony Ericsson concept stores nationwide on Nov. 14, 2008.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 to become available locally starting Nov. 15

Sony Ericsson Philippines will also be putting up a dedicated site for the XPERIA X1 which will go live on November 1 for those who wish to make an advanced reservation to be guaranteed a unit when it becomes available. Of course, this is still on a first-come first-serve basis so it still pays to sign up early. As for its price, let’s just say that P40K will be enough to get you one. For our part, we’re cooking up an XPERIA X1 review as we finally got our grubby hands on one, but it’ll take a little bit of time since this baby’s got a ton of features we’d like to go through first before releasing our take on this long awaited smartphone.

Is it worth the long wait? We’ll soon find out. Just stayed tuned as we’ve got a lot to say as far as the XPERIA X1 is concerned.

This release date only takes into account Sony Ericsson concept stores. It’s up to the carriers on when they will offer it if they deem it essential to be part of their line-up, but I see no reason why this shouldn’t be offered by either Smart or Globe.

The price is in Philippine Peso and as for its international release, we don’t the slightest idea when that will be. While I’m not at liberty to speak about specific details at the moment about its performance since we’re releasing a full review in the near future, let me just say that so far it works great as a touchscreen device.

40K? is it because it’s newly released? I’ve observed that prices tend to fall as time goes. That’s from P800 to P1. I’m thinking it would be the same for X1

Bottomline, the XPERIA X1 is being positioned — not just as a consumer or a productivity device, but one that offers you the best of both worlds — a “wicked” entertainment appliance, yet loaded with productivity features that the most fastidious mobile professional could use very effectively in an enterprise context. There’s already a fans website for the phone http://www.Xperia-X1.org LOL
