Sony might not be on top of the cell phone market, but they may have a winner here with the new Sony Ericsson X1 Xperia. At long last, a possible iPhone contender from Sony.

We thought this looks like a winner. Even though this smartphone looks like it’s all business, it has all the things you might look for in a recreational phone. The camera is 3.15 megapixels (no, not a Carl Zeis lens…) and it can capture video at 30 fps.

The X1 Xperia also includes a 3 inch wide touchscreen, A2DP Bluetooth, aGPS, WiFi, and microSD — just 400MB on board, and a 4-way key and optical joystick.

The X1 Xperia will focus on multimedia and mobile web communications, packed with features including HSDPA/HSUPA, GPS and Wi-Fi.

Even though the display looks like the regular Windows Mobile Professional one, a button brings up a 9 panel window that act as application shortcuts.

Expect it around Dec. 08 or possibly Jan 09.
