Initial impressions? Though the X1 won't be considered as a contender for the lightest Windows Mobile device around, its 145g weight was one of the contributing factors that gave us a strong and sturdy feel to this device.

With an arc slider design, the QWERTY keyboard is nicely tucked underneath its front facade. Key pressing did take some getting used to with the device's curvature, in addition to the flatness of the keys which required precise finger typing instead of casually using our thumbs.

As seen from the back, the two dedicated roller tracks contribute to the easy sliding of the X1's display screen to reveal the QWERTY keyboard underneath.

The X1 will support microSD expandability, but unfortunately, the microSD slot is only accessible after the removal of the battery casing.
