Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X1 was made in partnership with HTC, the same makers of the HTC Touch, Pro etc, but it appears the X2, or another Windows Mobile based phone from Sony Ericsson will cut ties with HTC. The partnership will actually end when the production of the X1 ceases and completes it’s business circle. Instead, Sony Ericsson’s second Windows Mobile smartphone, will have a partnership with Mobinnova. Mobinnova is a Taiwan handset maker under Foxconn Electronics.

Remember the TouchFlo3D on the Xperia X1? harvsignh over at the XDA-Developers forums has ported the panels found on the Xperia X1 to his HTC Touch HD.

This is in it’s first stages at the moment so it’s only partially working and is still being tested. The CAB files haven’t been publicly released but a few other users at XDA-Developers may be using and testing the software out.

A few errors have been found already, such as the Panels no longer working after the phone has been reset. The problems do seem to be being worked on though so we may see the CAB file soon. harvsingh has also provided a video of the Panels in action on the Touch HD, which you can view here.
