Me and Karthik recently walked into Sony Store to check out the new Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 Smart Phone. Karthik has been looking for all possible iPhone alternatives (before he gets himself an iPhone, which he will eventually). We managed to check out few features and here is my quick word on it.

1. It is SLOW. All the fancy graphics bring down the speed of the phone.
2. It is overpriced. 45,000 Indian Rupees? Who are buying phones at 45,000 in India these days? Suddenly, iPhone looks cheap!
3. It runs a sad operating system. Windows. I have used various Windows mobile devices in the recent past. They suck.

The ideal price point for phone should be under 25,000. HTC phones are much better in every aspect when compared with Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1.
