The Upcoming Choices
Blackberry Bold 9000
It has been a while since we've seen an exciting lineup from Blackberry's offering, and this year, the stakes have been significantly raised with the news of a bold new move (pun fully intended) with the Blackberry 9000, codenamed Bold. On the interface front, Blackberry has gone through a whole new facelift, doing away with its colorful days of yore and takes a step into the sophisticated world with a brand new wire-line interface. More importantly, the Bold has entered a brave old world (old being the 3G world) and joins the big players in the connection race with its HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity options.
And of course, with a Blackberry in one's hands, it invokes a certain statement and image with the ownership, and you won't find both a business executive and a Blackberry device far from each other. With the Bold's new sleek design, you can look just as good while you work on-the-go.
Sony Ericsson Xperia X1
Sony Ericsson's very first Windows Mobile device, the Xperia X1, will also be a device one should be paying attention to in the coming months. With no official word yet on its release date, other than the second half of 2008, the X1's interest value lies not in the commonly seen Windows Mobile platform, but its unique Xperia Panel that will utilize Sony Ericsson's very own interface that allows you to navigate through various dedicated panels for each specific feature that includes Web, Multimedia and Applications.
Not one to lose out, the X1 is also equipped with a 3-inch TFT touch-screen, and supports an impressive resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. Its aesthetic nature does not say much in the slim and petite region, but in our hands, we did get a solid and strong feel to its 158g cool metallic body.
