SonyEricsson Xperia X1 an Apple IPhone killer?

SonyEricsson has launched their newest and cooles cellphone ever, the Xperia X1. It's pretty obvious that it is their answer to the IPhone, with a huge screen and tighter Internet functionality. On the technical side, everything seems really impressive: Better screen resolution than the IPhone, faster Internet connection, built in GPS and a better camera.

But that just isn't enough. The Xperia isn't near as attractive as the IPhone, no matter how impressive it's technical specifications. Because IPhone is cool and has a great interface. SonyEricsson is far from cool, and with a Microsoft Operating System, you can be sure that the interface wont be nearly as good as the IPhone interface.

Whereas Apple has one of the best brands in the world, SonyEricsson and Microsoft has not. Well, not when it comes to cool gadgets anyway. SonyEricsson are great for business phones, and Microsoft have a much better product base with Windows, Office and their servers, but they just aren't cool.

My guess is that the Xperia is an overpriced phone ju between the business segment and the young hip segment. And as always, branding is everything, not reaching any segment totally successfull is nothing.

SonyEricsson, please let me customize my mobile!

I'm a big fan of Mobile2.0, I love testing new mobile [java] applications and I've even found a few of them really useful (Earth Beta, Gmail, Opera Mini and Widsets),.
I'm convinced that the future of the Internet is mobile.

I've tried a few different phones and for some reason ended up with a SonyEricsson Z610i. It's a phone of nice quality and it has pretty good features.

But what are SonyEricsson up to when it comes to customization?
When I install a new Java applet, I want to be able to make a direct shortcut to it and I want to be able to use any java applet as contact manager. Why isn't this possible?
Now my best choice is to make a shortcut to the program folder, and I end up with 6 clicks before reaching my favorite java application.

When I'm at it, I also want to be able to make my java application settings permanent so I don't get the "Do you give the program permission to communicate with the Internet" every time I start a program.

Anyone know how it works on Nokia or other phones?

I admit it, I'm a Widset Junky

For some weeks now I've been testing Widsets on my cellphone, and it's great!
Now, whenever I have som few minutes to spare, I pull out my SonyEricsson and check the latest news, read some cartoons or play sudoku. I could do all that in my browser before Widsets entered my Cellular Life, but for some reason browsers on cellphones suck! I never browse on my phone unless I really have no other choice, when I can't remember a phone number, a location or something, but mobile surfing is a terrible experince.

Widsets on the other hand, have a great interface - the scrolling is smooth, my button moves actually make sence, and the load times are shorter. It's the second best mobile application right after the Gmail-application!

Actually I like Widset so much I had to get a better deal for my mobile surfing...
