Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 vs Nokia N97
Filed under: Cell Phones, Handsets
Whenever a new handset is announced it starts a flood of comparisons against a cell phone that it will be competing with. The latest announcement from Nokia is the newest N-Series phone, the N97. So what phone will the N97 be competing with, well that would be the new Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1.
Both phones are very similar in design, apart from the fact that the N97 has much rounder edges, I really like the design of these two phones. So let us look at the features of each phone to see how they match up.
The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 3.15 inch touchscreen, Full QWERTY keyboard, 3.15 megapixel camera with autofocus and video camera. Other features include GSM, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Built-in GPS receiver, up to 833 hours standby and up to 10 hours talktime.

Nokia N97 features include, 3.5 touchscreen, Full QWERTY keyboard, A-GPS sensors and an electronic compass, 32GB storage with a further 16GB microSD available, giving the phone up to 48GB storage. Other features include, 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, G, Wi-Fi and much more.
It is hard to choose between the two, as both phones look sexy, but the specs on the Nokia N97 looks so much better.

Comparison: Nokia N97 with 5800, HTC Touch Pro, XPERIA X1 and iPhone
Actually the X1 has A-GPS also, not just a GPS receiver.
The X1 can take up to 32gb MicroSD HC, this sint really a comparison.
At least it is comapred to the phone its competing with and not the ipod.
Accually SDHC only does upto 16GB. Higher then that is something new called HX or SX.
X1 is available NOW!! and Nokia N97 will be available sometime in First Half of 2009. Now, Thats a huge difference!!
Guys, lets check the hardware specs of x1.
first, x1 has a dualcore qualcom amr cpu runs at 0.5ghz.
384mb of ram plus ati 3d embeded machine.
x1 will got more productivity rate.
Well, as you can read in the links given in “Relevant Posts” below, rumor has it that “HTC is to make the XPERIA X1 for Sony Ericsson”. So the biggest competitor is HTC.
No matter who make it, we all know that technology is in permanent progress: the newest is supposed to be the best. Who knows in the next few days SE will announce an X2 phone with similar storage and 10 mpx camera?
They are both the great phones with slight differences of storage and camera but for the SAME PRICE I prefer X1 for name, look, and GPS capabilities (GPS Receiver and aGPS)
Technology is in permanent progress: the newest is supposed to be the best. Who knows in the next few days SE will announce an X2 phone with 100 GB storage and 10 mpx camera?
about the new SE your right. check out the new Sony Ericsson idou. 12.1 mp camera and its coming out in October 2009
well both r nice phones,but both phones come in high range regarding spendings,
x1 in more latest,but n97 has more clear camera becoz of 5 mp as compared to x1 3.15 mp. but both r good. both r tough dare to each other
Yea, irrelevant comparison. X1 is available right this minute, Nokia sometime next year.
Nokia are WAY behind the curve at the moment …
The capabilities of N97 far surpass X1. So why settle for less???
This is a daft argument and comparison. The X1 is superb but the N97 will no doubt be a better phone. It depends if you want it now or March, almost six months between the release dates! It is like comparing the N97 to a phone coming out late 2009!
