Here’s a Windows Mobile phone we thought we wouldn’t see by the end of this year. But it looks like Sony Ericsson has outdone themselves and the cell phone will be soon available in more markets. Right now we know it has landed in Sweden and we have proof of it.

There’s no point in telling you about the touchscreen or the slide-out full QWERTY keyboard right? And you already know it’s got GPS, WiFi and a decent 3.2 megapixel camera. We did talk about the Xperia pretty much right? Now I’d be more interested in what Sony Ericsson is going to offer next. There are rumors about future Xperia versions. Some people would say such versions will be based on Android OS. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Enjoy the pictures while you wait for your X1.

Rumors of a 2009 Xperia X1 release have been put to rest for good with Sony Ericsson’s official announcement. The Xperia X1 will be launched on September 30th of this year. It will be available initially in the UK, Germany and Sweden.

Later this year the phone will be launched in other European countries and it will make its debut in Asia and Latin American. Here are the countries which will receive the Xperia X1: Indonesia, Singapore, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands, Austria, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Portugal, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, South Africa, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia.

Sony will also launch it in North America, China, Australia and Russia at a later date which is to be decided in the following months.

Since it’s leaked photo news today, have a look at these new leaked photos. The handset in the pictures is Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X5 concept phone. The Xperia X1 isn’t even officially out yet and Sony Ericsson is getting ready for version X5? What happened to versions X2, 3 and 4?

Here are some rumored specs:

• 8MP Cam with autofocus and xenon-flash
• 8GB internal Memory
• Full-Touchscreen
• WiFi,GPS,UMTS
• 3.2 inch Display
• M2 Slot

It’s funny how companies try to keep new products under wraps, and sometimes the most innocent of things reveals them. This time, it’s the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 device, a Windows Mobile phone slated for a September 2008 release. That may seem far away, but for those eagerly waiting for the device - you know it’s worth it.

The news was leaked thanks to Handango’s newsletter. The Xperia X1, which will come with Handango’s InHand service built-in, features a WVGA resolution screen (800×480 pixels). Obviously, the phone will be available in multiple languages.

Surprise! Surprise! Meet the first ever Windows Mobile-powered Sony Ericsson. Already a leader in Symbian UIQ devices, it looks like SE wants the best of both worlds by adding the Xperia XP1, which works on Windows Mobile 6. Making its debut at the Mobile World Congress, the phone isn’t shabby at all with a 3-inch VGA (yep, not QVGA!) touchscreen with a resolution of 800×480 , a full QWERTY keypad, and a new tile-like interface called “Xperia Panels.” Sony Ericsson has tried to cover all the bases with quad-band UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA network support (900 or 850 and 1700/1900/2100 MHz), WiFi, aGPS, Bluetooth with A2DP, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. The arc-sliding QWERTY looks really cool and there is a 4-way navigation key and an optical joystick to complement the touchscreen.

With all these features, the Sony Ericsson Xperia XP1 will definitely not be cheap when it hits the stores in the second half of 2008. More pictures and details after the break.
