So here’s the scene. We’re at the Digital Experience show, trying to get our hands on a powered-up Sony Xperia X1. certain, we found a unit that wasn’t powered up, but that does you — and us — no good. Sony told us to come back in 15 minutes, so we grabbed some press kits, made a round of booths, and came back.

Sure decent, when we came back the X1 was powered up, but the nice booth lady tried to tell us that things weren’t working just right and the unit was stuck on the config screen. After some jiggering, we determined the little X1 was just stuck on the touch screen calibration, and we were cruising through menus within minutes. It’s pretty clear that unit wasn’t ready for primetime — you’ll even see some HTC pop quiz apps in the below gallery — but we were impressed by the screen’s resolution and brightness. Windows Mobile 6.1 showed it face often in the UI, but the phone app and general utilities were looking good.

Overall, the X1 is a

delight to behold — it’s one sexy device. That said, we’ll have to wait how Sony Ericsson’s user interface shapes up and just look at the pretty pictures in the gallery until mid-September.
