The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 has been one of the most elusive handsets we've ever had to deal with. We initially heard about it in February this year and then it disappeared, occasionally popping up at the odd press event, but always as a prototype and never the finished article. Today it finally emerged from the shadows when we received the final version.

Turn it on and the story takes a turn for the unexpected -- it runs on Windows Mobile. While some of you may not have a problem with this, we anticipate many users finding the Windows Mobile experience a little less exciting than the iPhone or G1's more user-friendly, customisable systems, but Sony Ericsson has tried to make amends.
