The new smartphone set for mid-November release.

You’ve been reading about this iPhone like device coming from Sony Ericsson for sometime now, and the Xperia X1 is finally on its way to Hong Kong. Sony Ericsson held a hands on press event on Monday to showcase the features of the Xperia X1 to the Hong Kong gadget press and everything looks on target as to what we’ve been reading and with the confirmed SRP of HK$5,980:

The XPERIA X1 combines a 3-inch clear wide VGA display and a full QWERTY keyboard within a quality metal-finish body. With Windows Mobile inside, the XPERIA X1 lets you choose from a dynamic range of activities at anytime and anywhere; from enjoying your favourite entertainment content to working efficiently on-the-move. Access a world of experiences simply by touching the XPERIA panel on the screen.

Available across Hong Kong in November, just in time for Christmas – no operator deals have been announced yet either. If you have decided not to go iPhone then the X1 could be your smartphone of choice when you see this great TVC:
