If this is the same price as the 3G iPhone, I'll buy this. But if the iPhone is supposed to go toward the $199-$299 range (as rumors suggest), I may have to consider that instead. I do like the proposed battery life on the Xperia though.
I'm also afraid of what this things price is going to be. I went to the Sony-Style store the other day and they had some normal looking phone there for like 500 !!
I told my self "crap if thats how much that bland phone costs imagine X1!".
The Xperia X1 is slated to sell for around $1000 USD (maybe a shade under) unlocked.
Very nice phone, but VERY expensive.
I also still cannot understand why they don't indicate what kind of GPS hardware is in this thing. For that kind of money, unsubsidized or not, the GPS better rock.
$800+ is realistic. Take a look at the TYTN II when it first came out, it retailed (unbranded) for over $800. This is a much better phone too, so expect a premium.

they're for 500$ coz they're unlocked. If the iPhone was unlocked i would imagine it to cost around 800$ at least.
