There’s really no denying it — T-Mobile’s G1 and Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X1 are two of the hottest mobiles around right at this time, and as predicted, all sorts of sparks flew when the two sat down for a side-by-side photo session. In a Dutch comparison of the two handsets, reviewers pointed out that the G1 was “significantly larger” than the SE counterpart, and while it’s completely subjective, they also asserted that the X1 was a “true piece of art in comparison to the dusty look of the G1 [nice one, Google Translator].” Do yourself a favor and check out the whole thing in the read link.

Sony Ericsson’s purported codenames are a source of endless amusement, because they 1) are virtually continuously feminine names, and 2) have zero bearing on the final product name. We’d heard that Sony Ericsson was prepping a new Cyber-shot candybar by the name of Kate, and at this time we’re hearing that it’s not Kate after all — but really, it doesn’t matter one way or another since it’ll be a letter with three numbers after it by the time it launches. The important thing is that we’re at this time seeing much better shots of the alleged 5-megapixel baddie with xenon flash, offering what’ll probably be a modernized alternative to the K850. If Sony Ericsson doesn’t cancel it first, that is.

We’re still trying to get used to this crazy one-letter, four-digit naming convention Samsung has suddenly decided to move to after countless years of the SGH / SCH / SPH convention, but at least they’re easing the transition a bit with production that don’t suck immensely — at least, not for their price range. Meet the S3600, an admittedly low-end flip on account of its non-3G radio, meager 30MB of onboard memory, and 1.3-megapixel camera that still manages to pull off an upscale look with a liberal application of brushed metal. The spec sheet rounds out nicely with an FM radio, Bluetooth 2.0, and microSD expansion — but the nicest feature of all might be the price, which looks like 4,000 Czech crowns (about $220) unlocked when it launches next month.
