As surur notes in our forums, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 won't be using the hateful, proprietary, Sony-Only Memory Stick format. It'll use microSD, like a proper smartphone should, assuming that the updated spec sheet is to be believed.
Surur also notes that the X1 might actually be running “Windows Mobile 6.5,” contrary to screenshots showing Windows Mobile 6.1 on the device. Either way, though, the switch to mircoSD means that, basically, the only thing keeping me from owning this device is cruel, cruel time.
SE X1 does microSD again
A little note for the people who was disappointed by the news that the Sony Ericsson Experia X1 only used proprietary M2 memory sticks, Sony Ericsson has again revised their spec sheet to say MicroSD.
Thank god for that. I would have gotten it regardless, but now at least I can re-use my 8GB memory card.
BTW, despite having been seen to run Wm6.1, insiders are still maintaining the device will be released with WM6.5.
