Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 with Windows Mobile 6.5?

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 with Windows Mobile 6.5 ? Sony Ericsson XPERIA Windows Mobile smartphone was announced. We know that XPERIA will have some great features, such as GPS, HSDPA, 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and much more. What we don't know is that if Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 will have the Windows Mobile version 6 or a newer version.

Word has it that the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 will be running a more advanced version of Windows Mobile - namely, Windows Mobile 6.5 It ain't Windows Mobile 6.1 but it's not quite Windows Mobile 7.0. It's something of a stop-gap OS that should include some fancy unannounced features for the WinMo set.

Mobile Review mentioned that the XPERIA X1 will come with Windows Mobile version 6.5 and Sony Ericsson isn't allowed to show more demos of the XPERIA X1 because it runs the new version of Windows Mobile. The WM 6.5 will debut in September or October and it will bring some major changes to the interface.

That would explain why we risked dismemberment had we dared lay a finger on the XPERIA X1. With GPS, HSDPA, 3.2 megapixel camera, WVGA touchscreen display, and that beautiful HTC-sourced sliding QWERTY keyboard, we would have been happy with a tweaked Windows Mobile 6.1 OS. But, if the XPERIA X1 does indeed come packing some new-fangled features, we're going to have a hard time waiting for this thing to hit production.
