Sony Ericsson W508 Walkman hands-on

Posted in: hands-on, Sony Ericsson, SonyEricsson, Today's Chili

Also on-hand — and in — tonight was Sony Ericsson’s newest Walkman set, the W508. This clamshell, which is a bit of a departure for Walkman devices, features quad-band GSM and single-band HSDPA, and a W508a variant that has quad-band GSM and triple-band HSDPA for our shores. Other notables include a 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, video calling, and Exchange Activesync for some enterprise mail access. Engadget Mobile has a gallery up, so feel free to wander over and browse.

Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X1a now available at SonyStyle

It’s been tough getting out of the starting gate for Sony Ericsson’s X1a (that’s the Americanized version of the X1), particularly when you realize that it was supposed to ship en masse way back on Black Friday of last year. Oh sure, a select few have managed to procure one of the QWERTY-packin’ WinMo powerhouses, but we’ve heard far more complaints about “no stock” than tips on excess inventory. Now, however, SonyStyle.com has the handset listed as in stock, with an estimated ship date of tomorrow. Furthermore, UnwiredView is reporteding that many of Sony’s retail locations are also well stocked with the unlocked smartphone. Of note, SonyStyle is offering up the X1a in silver, but there’s always spray paint if you’re lusting after a black model like the one we tried out.

How would you change Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X1?

Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X1 hasn’t been the easiest handset to procure here on US soil, despite being “available” since Black Friday. Still, we know hardcore HTC / SE fanatics have figured out a way to get their palms in touch with the X1a (or X1i for international users). You already heard our spill on the handset, but now we’re interested in finding out how you’d tweak things if given the all-important keys to the design lab. Would you keep everything the same and just add Android? Would you rework the keyboard? Swap out the touchscreen with a capacitive replacement? Make it available only in turquoise and lime? It’s a pretty safe bet that this isn’t the last Xx smartphone you’ll see from SE, so your thoughts on the matter may actually prove beneficial in time. And… go!
