YouTube Series – Android on the Xperia X1

Although I’ve retired it from active cellphone duty, my Xperia X1 still has something about it that makes it special. The screen has great pixel density, the slide-out keyboard is easy to use, and it feels solid and heavy.

The only real downside to this phone is the OS (and, perhaps it is a bit dated with only 256MB of RAM). Windows Mobile 6 was acceptable years ago, but with options like Android around, it just doesn’t cut it. However, there is a large group of people over at the XDA Forums who work to bring out new, different builds of Android for the X1, allowing you to dual-boot Windows Mobile and Android! I’ve played around with quite a few, and I figured I could make a video series with me trying out different builds.

Without further ado, here is the first video of the series – Installing Android.
