Sony Ericsson Xperia X1
As I already mentioned earlier I need a new mobile after graduating out of engineering. Currently I have a Nokia N 72. Its a good phone in that it has many features. But I want a smart phone next. I would like my phone to have a QWERTY keyboard, 3G connection, play multimedia, have a PIM, download feeds for me and pretty much everything. So I googled up smart phones.
Going through a lot of blogs and sites, I came to pick 4 good ones. They are the Nokia N96, Samsung Omnia, Sony Xperia X1 and Blackberry Gold. They match my requirements and look good too. I next visited a store to get a look at the phones. Though they did not show me an original piece, they showed me a dummy model.
Sony Xperia X1
Samsung Omnia
Xperia scored the highest amongst these. Its 800 x 400 screen resolution is mind blowing. Also the black background with a clock and the colours dispersed is just awesome. The Xpanels are good to, allowing you to pick taks by a single touch instead of having to navigate through the options everytime. The talktime is an amazing 10 hous. Standby time is around 400 hours. The more I read about this phone, the more tempted I am to buy it. This one’s a bit costly though. The last time I checked, it was priced at Rs. 43,000 in Hyderabad. But I am in no haste. I will look at all my options before settling for one.
Another phone worth looking at is the Samsung Omnia. It is a completely touch phone with no keypad. This one’s a lot cheaper at just Rs 30,000. The talktime though is just 5 hours compared to Xperias’ 10.
Both of these phones run the Windows Mobile 6. It would be a welcome change from the Symbian OS that I have in my Nokia N72.
The other phones that I have been looking at are Nokia N96 and Blackberryy Gold. The N96 looks just like my N72 and so am not much inclined towards it. The Blackberry has too small a screen compared to the Xperia to favour it. However the reputation of Blackberry is beyond doubt which makes it a good competitor to the Xperia.
And when I thought I had to choose one from only these two, Xperia and Blackberry, came another list of Nokia I had overlooked earlier. The E71 is a good business phone. A friend bought one recently. The metallic body looks great and the phone felt good and solid in my palms. Also there’s this E75 and N97 that have released. N97 is the latest phone from Nokia and I haven’t yet researched it. What makes Nokia a strong competitor is its proven reliability and durability.
As of now I am highly inclined towards the Xperia and tend to disregard/think-of-you-as-a-fool if you speak against it. An alternative phone will have to be very good, have many more features, look more stunning for me to change my mind. Otherwise, its going to be an Xperia in my hands in about 80 days. Let the countdown begin.
