Demo of Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

A phone that made some buzz at MWC was the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. This is the new flagship smartphone from Sony Ericsson to run Windows Mobile 6.1. The X1 had a very limited firmware, and the product manager was able to demonstrate a few things. What really annoyed me and almost everybody else trying to checkout the phone was that the product manager wouldn't allow anybody near the phone. As more and more eager people were approaching, he was backing away from us. It's funny to see in the same trade show that while one company allows you to examine and play with their flagship phone and even take pictures with it, another one's demonstrator would give you that look for moving your mouth suggesting you want to touch the phone. At least it would have been easier to ignore this if he could answer the questions more effectively, as seen below. For what it's worth, enjoy the clip.

My First Handling of Sony Ericsson K850

My first phone was a Sony Ericsson T226, and until a while ago I went through several SE until I stopped at the W810i. There weren't anything revolutionary going between each generation of SE at that time. Since the W810i I hadn't been playing around with the SE feature (read dumb) phones until very recently I got the  K850. I've made a few initial observations and have attached some pictures accompanying them.
