If anyone is looking for a solid review of the X1, do a search for Bengal Boy X1. The site is a bit graphic (not safe for work) so I dont want to link it here, but does have tons of pictures and a quite a bit of feedback.

"The Sony Ericsson xPeria X1 does a fantastic job, even at this level of software development, of giving its user a multitude of special features not commonly found on wireless devices and cell phones. From "eye candy" operating system features such as "Panels" to the unique hardware of the Optical JoyStick and Illumination System ..... the X1 will stand out as a special and high dollar device designed to entertain AND work!! Its really "Bring'n Sexy Back" to SmartPhones with its Speacial Features & Hardware!!"
