As promised, here is the video demo of the new facebook panel. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments and we’ll do what we can to answer them. Enjoy.
The first new panels (facebook and windows live,) for the xperia are now available for download from www.sonyericsson.com/fun. We’ve been trying them out over the last week or so and so far so good – windows live panel lets you integrate your hotmail, msn messenger and live search into the handset, whilst the facebook panel provides a custom interface between the handset and the site.
Two of the facebook features are particularly noteworthy – you can use the phone number field of your friends’ profiles as a kind of subsidiary phonebook and call them from within the panel, which is very cool. Also, the photos page gives you a one click upload and allows you to open the camera without leaving the panel.
We’ll have a demo video of all this up tomorrow.

Update 2: One of our first panel partners, Dashwire has posted on the Dashwire blog about the xperia panel. Also, the official Sony Ericsson press release is here.
For those of you with technical questions regarding the X1, the new version of the X1 white paper is up on the Sony Ericsson developer site. 37 pages of X1 related goodness.

Firstly, apologies for the delay – there were some last minute changes to the arrangements which meant that the original announcement had to be put back.
The Xperia X1 will be available in the 43 Sony Style stores across the US on November 28. The pre-orders will begin on the 13th via the Sony Style website.
CNET has posted an in-depth review of the phone here, it includes an excellent high quality video and I recommend you check it out.
