Ericsson has officially announced that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 smartphone will be in the shops from today.

Powered by Windows Mobile software the smartphone is built by HTC and comes equipped with a better user interface that makes Windows Mobile a little more interesting.

There had been talk that the Xperia X1 would be delayed until early next year.  The phone will be released in the UK, Germany, and Sweden will get the Sony Xperia X1 from today while the rest of Europe, Asia, and Latin America will follow suit during Q4 2008.

There are no launch dates for North America, China, Australia and Russia yet and the phone may not appear until 2009.  X
