Pics: HTC Diamond Poses with XPERIA X1

Posted by Zach Epstein on May 17, 2008 1:17 pm 13 comments

Time to drool-guard your keyboard. Two of the most highly-anticipated handsets of 2008 were found mingling side by side and CNMO scored some shots. Granted, they’re not the best quality or lighting, but you get the idea. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 pictured above to the left, is Sony’s eventual first entry into its high-end XPERIA line. We hear that at some point, Sony Ericsson is actually going to make it available to consumers. To the right is the HTC Diamond, the ultra-sleek touch-only gem that was announced recently. If we had to chose only one… Well, luckily we don’t. More pics after the jump.

UPDATE: It turns out some nefarious site watermarked WMExperts’ pictures. We’ve updated the links to their site.

Mockerfab4, I do know that Sony Ericsson is a 3G vendor for T-Mobile, but forget where I saw it. Nokia was the other.

Xperia wins, only because the Diamond doesn’t have the power to run TouchFLO 3D smoothly…. and the arc qwerty of course…. and the 1500 battery…. and the widescreen display….

ok so Xperia wins with a wide margin.

I heard the same thing too…but for some reason haven’t heard anything new about it in months. I just hope that there is truth to that rumour and when 3G rolls out everywhere we’ll get it. It’ll crush me if ATT gets another great phone b4 Tmo does…again!

Gosh, this is strange. Those are my hands, my images, and my story with somebody else’s watermark and no credit.

Funny how every picture made its way here except for the one with my face.
