The XPERIA X1 got some facetime during the Windows Mobile portion of today's keynote, and our impression was that the “tiles” were a lot slower than we'd been hoping for. We'll give the Sony booth a shot, but given how they've been reticent to let people lay hands on this sucker since the Mobile World Congress, our hopes are not high.
Everything else, though, still looks awfully sweet. So sweet, in fact, that the folks over at the Microsoft booth saw fit to encase the thing a tube of protective acrylic. So best we can give you real live shots showing a real live device, under glass.
I will be looking forward to a "hands on" review in the future. I think HTC, whoops, I mean Sony Ericsson has got a lot right with this device, though I'd like to see a slimmed down version without the keyboard for us touch screen only types.
I think the protective acrylic at the Microsoft booth is to protect the device from Microsoft employees, judging from their performance at CES...
