Well folks, it’s finally here: the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1a. That’s the US version with 3G HSDPA on the US AT&T bands. The Xperia is sold in the US at SonyStyle stores in silver and at Best Buy stores in black (Fry’s, J&R and other retailers also offer the silver version). Don’t confuse the Xperia X1a with the overseas version Xperia X1i (no “a” for America) that lacks all of AT&T’s 3G bands (it has 1900MHz but not 850MHz). The Xperia has a very high resolution 800 x 480 pixel 3” display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, GPS, Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR, WiFi 802.11b/g, push email, full web browsing, a microSD card slot, an FM radio and GSM 3G HSDPA. Its casing is mostly metal, and fit and finish are suitable for a James Bond movie. Sony Ericsson designed the phone and its software and the phone is made by HTC. In fact, there are some HTC goodies here like their Comm Manager and Streaming Media Player.
