Like catching the abominable snowman on celluloid, early peeks at the XPERIA X1 have been known to create rumours and spark heated debate.

Now that the HTC Touch Diamond has hit the market the next two phones to watch for are the 3G iPhone expected June 9th announcement and of course the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 but are these latest pictures enough to keep everyone going until the expected September release?
