Video: Sony Ericsson's XPERIA X1 gets white-glove dissection

White glove delivery? Puhlease. Try white glove dissection, as in, the four part saga shown to us via the miracles of YouTube by gadget lover CyK1. Using a cautious approach, a pair of tweezers, what appears to be a guitar pick and a pair of delicate white gloves, he details the disassembly of SE's highly-anticipated XPERIA X1 in four captivating clips. Granted, two of the four actually show reassembly efforts, but you know you're not about to leave after just watching half of the show. Hop on past the break once your popcorn is ready.

This phone was ridiculously delayed, it seemed like it took over a year. After announcing it, the iPhone 3g was confirmed/released, the Samsung Omnia was confirmed/released, the Touch HD was confirmed, the Diamond Pro was confirmed/released and the G1 was confirmed/released. This thing was slooow to the market. All the hype faded away.

If your talking about the touch HD, make sure you know that the touch HD is NOT coming to the US at all. Phones that stay outside the US tend to enjoy a much faster release period.

To see my future phone torn apart like that is very insettling; especially since I'm waiting on the ridiculous €650 price of it to go down. From user feedback and previews of the X1, it looks to be, even with the delays, an excellent handset.

Let's see him turn it on now. What's the bet he has f***ed it beyond repair. What a waste.

I wonder if he could cram an accelerometer in there before closing her up.

what the world needs more than anything is a thorough review of the final retail Xperia in proper english. not in French, and not about pre-production units.
