It’s been a while since we heard anything new on Sony Ericsson’s upcoming flagship device, the Xperia X1, but the device was seen lurking around at the CommunicAsia fair held in Singapore recently. I have said it already and will still say that this is one hot device that I truly look forward to in 2008. The VGA screen really stands out, even though we are just looking at pictures. Makes us want to forgive Sony Ericsson for dumping the BeiBei and Paris, doesn’t it? If you missed out on the specs from our earlier coverage, here’s what you will get when the device hits the stores:

• Quad-band UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA network support
• 3-inch VGA touchscreen display at 800×480 resolution
• Windows Mobile 6.1
• Full QWERTY arc-slide-out keypad
• Assisted GPS
• WiFi
• Bluetooth with A2DP profile
• 3.2-megapixel camera

In case you were are waiting for AT&T to release the BlackBerry Bold, well you will have to wait some more. AT&T postponed the official launch of the Bold to mid August.

Apparently there are some battery life and overheating problems which RIM and AT&T should be working out. Is that so or is AT&T thinking too much about the other phone and what it will do for them instead on focusing on the Bold too? And how come Rogers has no problem with the Bold in Canada? I mean isn’t battery life the same up north? Doesn’t the Bold overheat due to a colder climate?

There’s no official response to this yet so who knows what AT&T has in mind.
