Feel that heat, Touch Pro? That's right -- the Great QWERTY Smartphone War of 2008 is officially gearing up for kickoff now that Sony Ericsson has announced a firm date for the first handful of lucky countries to be scoop up the mighty XPERIA X1. Sweden, Germany, and the UK will be the inaugural launch sites come September 30, with no fewer than 32 more on tap in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America for the fourth quarter of the year. North America, China, Australia, and Russia are also listed as committed launch regions, though dates for those will be announced "in the coming months" -- scary verbiage considering that they weren't even willing to slap the Q4 label there. 2009's a long way off yet, and if there's a Touch Pro in front of us... well, let's just say that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, if you catch our drift.
If you haven't fallen in love with a Sony Ericsson phone yet, you are missing out. Those guys make the most killer devices in the cellular telephone world! Beautiful hardware, great bundled goodies, and excellent interfaces. Even though the X1 is rockin' Windows Mobile, you can be sure that it will perform to the top of its game. Sony may be known for coming late to the party with new products. Especially in America, especially with phones... anyone ever wait around for one of the "P" series smartphones? (I did. And still am.) Either way, this looks to be one of the best WinMo devices out there when it actually hits the market. Keep your head on a swivel so you can find out when it will hit in the U.S. of A.
