Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1

QWERTY Keypad

With a QWERTY keypad on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, writing a message on a phone keypad has never been easier. Within minutes you can type out a full email, send a text message to friends or communicate via Instant Messaging.

Wi-Fi

With Wi-Fi you can use your phone to connect to a local wireless network (W-LAN) to connect to the internet. This offers a cheap (sometimes free) method of connecting to the net to download emails, files, or check on your favourite website.

HSDPA

HSDPA offers a similar benefit to a 3G network that GPRS offered to the GSM networks. It offers a higher speed data transfer with a compatible handset such as the Sony Ericsson X1 on Orange. HSDPA is commonly known as Mobile Broadband.

Bluetooth 2.0

Bluetooth 2.0 is the next generation of Bluetooth connectivity. With Bluetooth 2.0 one of the biggest advantages is the possibility of listening to music with a compatible wireless headset in stereo. Less wires, less mess, more noise.

A-GPS

A-GPS on the Sony Experia is a network service that can locate your position to within 100 metres by using a clever technique called triangulation. By sending a signal to three cell masts, A-GPS will work out your location by the location of the cells and your distance from them.

3.2 Megapixel Camera

With a built in 3.2 megapixel camera, with auto focus, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 takes quality pictures that you will want to share with your friends. Store them in your phone, email them to friends or upload them to your blog.

Java

Java is often a forgotten feature on many phones, and is probably used in many ways without you even realising. If you play games on your phone, it is likely they are java apps. But java is so much more than games. It allows you to add extra functionality to your handset by installing third party apps to the phone. Add email functionality with Gmail, add a web browser from Opera Mini, add a business directory with Yell.com or keep an eye on a new purchase on Ebay.

Music Player

With a built in music player, you can carry your tunes with you, in your pocket, and listen to them when you want. Most digital formats are recognised on the Ericsson X1 phone, including MP3 and AAC.
