Hi rikez
's developers are seemingly incapable of writing code that works, Their hardware testers are equally as hopeless at their primary task as the code monkeys and they seemingly have no bug reporting system for their findings.
And if there is as system in place, the code monkeys certainly don't know where it is!!!!!!
So to date
have relied upon its body of unpaid customer testers.
It works like this, we pay good money for device, we find problem and complain to the network operators who sold us the "dream device" (who do actually have some clout) they moan at
who finally tell code monkeys "it doesn't work" Code monkey grunts moans then grunts "OK I will take a look, but don't ask me to test it, that's boring"
It is no surprise to me that they decided to look at pre built options

I agree 200%. SE is good only for bugware not for firmware. On the top of this qualification SE ignores all loyal customers.

SE have turned to WM for two big reasons -
1. They need a high-end business device that's competitive on spec, and actually works straight off the bat. There's no way they could achieve both of those with UIQ, particularly not within this timeframe.
2. They need to make an impact on the US market, where WM is very popular and UIQ is virtually unknown.
Of course there are plenty of arguments for a UIQ-like approach as well, and that's why they've put lots of emphasis on the Xperia brand not necessarily being tied to WM etc... but for a short term hit, the X1 has to run WM. If they tried to craft a new version of UIQ for it (and it would have to be new), it would (a) be buggy, and (b) flop in America.

...where the core OS is concerened WM is nowhere similar to Symbian, the kernel is completely different. TO get the menu system to replicate Symbian you'd need to write an app that resides on the current shell.
This is the kind of thing I was talking about - a UIQ like shell app on top of the WM kernel simply feeding the right commands to the OS.
And regarding the Touch its basically just hype, the nice thing is touch flo that allows you to scroll with one finger but the cube etc.. are just apps not a UI replacement. But the add lots of tine apps as making th start menu larger etc that it makes you feel they;ve edited the Ui which they actually have'nt. Very clever
.
So therefore from a user POV, such an app/shell would 'feel' like an OS replacement, particularly as most users don't care how it works - as long as it does...
But, if it was actually an emulator, then one could run both UIQ and WM apps on the same device. I suppose then the only reason to upgrade would be for hardware capability, which IMHO is what SE do best anyway (the P1's green tint being the exception that proves the rule
).

Yup that's exactly what I said
