New Cell Phones Dance Across the World Stage
dd
Xperia X1 Slides Open to Reveal a Landscape-Mode Keyboard Xperia X1's large (3-inch) touch-screen (see previous slide) exemplifies another handset trend. But it also lets you navigate via an optical joystick underneath the display. When closed, this Sony Ericsson's metal-finish rear case shows nothing but the lens of its 3.2-megapixel camera (above, left). However the X1 does have an unusual design feature: It slides open sideways in a gentle arc (above, right) to reveal a roomy portrait-mode keyboard. As with other sideways sliders, the display adjusts automatically.
