There's a lot of excitement over Sony Ericsson's new Xperia X1 slider phone (see below) with a full QWERTY keyboard and touch screen that runs Windows Mobile and includes a 3.2 megapixel camera with a "photo light" (not an LED or Xenon flash), video recording, WiFi, A-GPS and HSDPA/HSUPA, as the company's press release says.
I got a chance to very briefly touch the keyboard at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona where it was introduced (see below). The keys are small, although they are slightly "bumpy" for a better touch. If you're a keyboard fanatic, as I am, I don't think you'll be impressed.
I didn't get a chance to test the keyboard -- or anything else -- so text entry might be better than I'm assuming. I can type on just about anything, although the experience is often terrible on cellular phones and other mobile communications devices.
There are many videos about the Xperia X1 on YouTube, including this one.
