Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 - Excellent Photo and Web Experience

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 has a multi-color LED that can tell you the status of the phone with different color. Beides the bundled Pocket Internet Explorer software, it also comes with Opera Browser. When using Wi-Fi, the web browsing experience is excellent.

Slide the keyboard out to browse the web in landscape setting. You can view the previous/next photo by flipping the photo to the left/right direction. It does not support pinching with 2 fingers though (like the Apple iPhone 3G) so you need to access the menu for that. Activate the rotate function and you can rotate the picture with a finger. Again, you can view photos horizontally by sliding out the keyboard.
