Several modders at the xda-developers forum have taken on a rather ridiculous project. They’ve gotten the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 panel interface to work on the HTC Touch HD. From watching the video, it looks like X1 installs, launches and works without too much of a speed difference. The panel interface actually seems more at home on the Touch HD’s roomier screen, actually.

Both companies would be enraged about this, but in the spirit of Thanksgiving, check out the video and see if it’s something you’d like to try out.

Sony Ericsson has finally put a firm US release date on their XPERIA X1 smartphone. Fans of the WinMo 6.1 powerhouse can breathe a sigh of relief, as rumors of it’s release slipping into next year were entirely unfounded. The unit will be released on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. Head on over to your favorite retail center on November 28th and battle it out with parents looking for a Wii in order to obtain this $799.99 smartphone. The company offers no word regarding a subsidized version for any US carrier.
