Anyway the highlights are the touch focus camera, the tile interface and the beautiful screen and resolution. Looks like we are nearing release time and my money is starting to twitch in my pocket.

Sony Ericsson ditched on Monday rumors that its first phone powered by Microsoft’s operating system would miss the key Christmas sales period. Sony Ericsson introduced the Xperia 1 model in February, saying it would start to sell the phone in the second half of 2008 in selected markets. On Monday, and over the weekend, several technology blogs reported of delays in product roll out, quoting rumors and unnamed sources at Sony Ericsson. "There is absolutely no delay.
