Sony Ericsson is expected to unveil their much awaited product line Xperia sometime next month in the Bangladesh market. With the first product of this line the X1, they hope to create an elegant, premium and personalised mobile experience for Bangladeshi professionals who want to simplify their hectic lifestyle with just some short straightforward touch on the screen. According to Sony Ericsson, Xperia X1 sets the example for a sophisticated combination of form with function in a full brushed-metal body. It boasts the world's first arc-slider form factor, helping users to perfectly view the screen while typing. The diamond cut design on the four-way navigational keys and keyboard is ingeniously shaped introducing a "stressless" browsing experience by reducing strain on fingers! At the heart of the X1 is the unique user interface of 9 different and customizable panels. According to X1 user interface designer Rui Yamagami, "I was inspired by windows in an apartment block, each X1 panel opens to reveal different applications contained within, just as each apartment window would show the diverse lives of its tenants." With Xperia's four input options switching between applications and panels is just a matter of some simple finger movements. The touch screen navigation makes easier for consumers to navigate through the Internet or play videos with a stylus or a finger touch. Reading in X1 also comes effortless as documents can be simply scrolled through with the optical joystick and 4-way key. Moreover, typing texts is a breeze with the QWERTY keyboard. In addition, for a more personal touch, you can use the stylus with handwriting recognition. The Xperia X1 is Sony Ericsson's first Windows Mobile phone. For web applications on the move, the X1 provides with all the connectivity options anyone will ever need. With 3G connectivity, integrated Wi-Fi and EDGE, using Internet will never be so much easier. The X1 also features a full HTML Web browser which helps users to browse through just like on computers. A WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) screen gives the users a lot of space to view what they need to view. Moreover, with its wide aspect ratio and inbuilt speakers give consumers the ultimate enjoyment of DVD quality videos. Anyone can create a movie with the X1's 30 frames-per-second video capture ability, showcasing subjects in a cinematic-like appearance. It is also the first Sony Ericsson phone to feature the industry standard 3.5mm headphone jack, letting audiophiles enjoy music with any headphones of choice. With 3.2 megapixel camera and autofocus option, beautiful tangible memories can be created in just a moment. Further, with the free 4GB microSD™ memory card, the phone works as a portable photo album. Sony Ericsson believes that what truly matters for the modern Bangladeshi workforce is to excel in whatever they do through flawlessly working between different devices on the move. The ultimate goal of X1 is to create a premium converging experience of multimedia and office work for our modern professionals.
