Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X1
Posted by ePlus on 12 February, 2008 at 0:28 amWhen I saw photos of this new phone my knees went weak - this got me excited!
After moving from traditional phones such as the Nokia 6230 and the Nokia 6300 to the Blackberry 8120 Pearl I am not attracted to smart phones. You can do so much with a smartphone than any other normal mobile out there.
Though in all fairness I haven’t made the most out of my Blackberry due to being a cheap ass and not getting the contract Blackberry Internet Service I am basically only missing out on having email redirected to my Blackberry. And shit, what a shame that is as I enjoy reading death threats and being accused of being racist! Yeah, people actually seem to think that I am a racist because I posted some photos of some niggaz being photoshoped, if that is even possible! 
Having a full QWERTY keyboard is very useful and you write a lot better and faster too! I can just not go back to writing on a normal mobile phone after using a Blackberry - that is why I am attracted to smartphones.
Don’t get me wrong, mobile phones have their place too, I keep one with my Romanian simcard which is on roaming so that I can see which bitches are trying to get in touch with me and also keep contact with my drug suppliers back home. (OH BTW if you didn’t know I am a powerful drug lord in the whole of Romania with countless bounties on my head but because I am so badass I even bought the police! Check that from a fellow nigga bruva, yo!)

I just hope it is not going to be too expensive and that it will not be locked to a network. But I think both will be true. Well the second one anyway while the prices will be high at the beginning, six months down the line they will go down.
