Newsletter Reveals Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 Launch Date
A recent newsletter from Handango, Sony Ericsson's partner in the XPERIA X1 project, revealed the approximate launch date for the highly anticipated phone:
"Seeking Content for the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1
At Mobile World Congress in February, SonyEricsson and Handango partnered to support the Windows Mobile powered Xperia X1 device with a catalog of content available via Handango InHand. We are now seeking the best products for this device and we would be interested in
hearing from YOU. SonyEricsson requires your product to support the WVGA screensize (800x480) and multiple languages (International English, French, German, Italian and Spanish). Any title included in the InHand catalog will need to also be Windows M2M certified.
The Xperia X1 will launch in mid-September 2008 with the Handango InHand service on the device. This is a fantastic opportunity for all our Partners to sell their products directly through a dedicated on-device channel.
If your content meets the above requirements and want to take advantage of this great opportunity, please send your product information partners@handango.com."
In addition to the launch date, the newsletter reveals that the device will feature Handango InHand service. InHand is basically an on-device software catalog that simplifies the process of finding, installing and purchasing software applications and games for your phone. The XPERIA X1 will supposedly be equipped with a 3.2 megapixel camera and an optical joystick for navigating the 3" screen.
The information in the newsletter seems fairly solid, but the long history of launch dates tells us that, if anything, they are erratic, temperamental, unpredictable, whimsical, fickle and so on. So we'll have to wait and see.
