The battery life is stellar, the browsing in Opera is delightful, the VGA resolution is drool-worthy and the integrated camera isn't too shabby, either. This here truly is a case of matching up the pros and cons with your specific needs and determining which list outweighs the other. Now, if...

The luxurious, unlocked Windows Mobile–based Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 has plenty of features. But it also has plenty of bugs. And at an exorbitant $799.99 (list), I simply can't imagine anyone buying it when there are so many other solid options available for much less—especially in this...
Read the full review →The Xperia X1 is precise to the finest detail and machined in brushed metal. A high-end powerhouse that mocks the bejeweled junk that usually passes for luxury in cellphone-land, it remains hard to recommend thanks to its extravagant price. At $800 unlocked, with no subsidy options, every virtue is...

All in all the only reason I still use this cellphone is because it still "works", and I can't decide which one to get next. The only real plus I find here is the keyboard, it is wonderful, and I've written pages and pages on it without problem. The main downside? Windows...
