Mobile Phones You'll Want to Buy for Christmas - the Sony Ericsson C905 and the Sony Ericsson X1

Christmas is rapidly approaching, so it's time to check which mobile phones you might want to ask Santa for! Today, let's check out two heavyweights: from the world of camera phones, the Sony Ericsson C905, and representing the smartphones, the superb Sony Ericsson X1.

Sony Ericsson C905 - the next generation of camera-equipped mobile phones

One of the first questions people ask, whenever mobile phones are launched, is, 'How good is the camera?' Well, with the Sony Ericsson C905, the answer is, 'Really very, very good indeed!' The simple reason for that is because the Sony Ericsson C905 is one o f the first mobile phones in the UK to have an 8 megapixel camera, putting it very close to standalone digital camera territory. Of course, with the Cyber-Shot technology built in to the Sony Ericsson C905, that make the difference between digital cameras and mobile phones blur even more. The simple fact is that the Sony Ericsson C905 is going to let you take photos that can compete with a digital camera, without actually having to carry a separate camera round with you! It's truly stunning, and needless to say, it doesn’t end with just the camera, as the Sony Ericsson C905 is also at the top of its game when it comes to music (the player's based on the one in the PSP), the internet (at HSDPA speeds, or WiFi, if that's what you fancy), and GPS. The Sony Ericsson C905 can, in other words, top just about all other camera-equipped mobile phone out there.

But one thing it's not is a smartphone....

For smartphones, we need to turn to the other star in Sony Ericsson's portfolio: the mind-blowingly good Sony Ericsson X1.

Sony Ericsson X1 - Steamy Windows

It's the first mobile phone to have an 'arc-slider' design... it's the first Sony Ericsson mobile phone to ever use Windows Mobile... and more importantly, it's the first in their new Xperia range of top-end, hyper-powerful mobile phones. It's called the Sony Ericsson X1, and it may well be the most powerful phone they've ever made! Key to that is the fact that the Sony Ericsson X1 is built on Window Mobile 6.1, the latest, and most powerful version of that operating system. But here's the kicker... it includes something on top. Specifically, the Sony Ericsson X1 is the first mobile phone to use their unique panels interface, with instant shortcuts and top-level panels on the phone letting you dip into the super-powered features with one touch.

It's not just software where the Sony Ericsson X1 excels, since the hardware is absolutely top notch, as well. Clad in a premium metal body, it combines GPS, HSDPA, and a 3 megapixel camera (with manual touch focus). Basically, the Sony Ericsson X1 is a phone that likes to work, rest and play in equal measure. Whilst it's cousin, the Sony Ericsson C905 corners the camera-phone, the X1 is destined to take on the world of super-high-end mobile phones, pouring feature after feature into the user's hands. Even with just these two mobile phones, it seems pretty clear that Sony Ericsson are going to have a good Christmas. And if you get yourself the Sony Ericsson C905 or the frighteningly good Sony Ericsson X1, then you're going to have a good Christmas, too!
