Sany Ericssan X1 – The World’s Worst Sony Ericsson X1 Knockoff

By Jackson Chung November 14, 2008

You’d think a knockoff would at least come up with an interesting name, rather than just misspelling Sony Ericsson. Meet the Sany Ericssan X1. This knockoff features a 2.8-inch display, 1.0-megapixel camera (listed as 8.0MP on back casing), microSD card slot, USB connectivity, and Bluetooth. Click here for first picture in gallery.

Strategic advantages Sany Ericssan holds over Sony Ericsson: A quarterly sales volume measured in the hundreds is considered a rousing success. Neither Sany nor Ericssan have any intention of pulling out of the joint venture.

Sony has gone viral “with its forthcoming Xperia X1, launching a new ‘alternative reality thriller’ centered around a mysterious character named Johnny X.” Video after the break.

For those who owned a T610 a few years ago, this will be both sweetly nostalgic and deeply confusing, when you look down and see that your T610 has a camera that can take photos that aren’t mistaken for abstract paintings.

Sony Ericsson W350’s key characteristics are its design and it musical abilities. It’s true that the flip form factor is not the most convenient or useful one, but it definitely differentiates it from the rest and ads a ‘WOW’ factor, which is rarely seen in this class.
