Ah so this is the solution Eldar reccomended over the X1. Looks fantastic to me! Im assuming this comes with Opera 9.5 ect....
Why would it come with Opera when Windows Mobile already has a native browser? I'm not saying that PIE is better than Opera but just asking why they would add Opera.

This has really become
funny for me. Here's an
X1 in different styling and
from the rumoured specs
the same as the X1. I
would still buy the X1,
only if it comes out in
september and not
december. I'm just not
feeling this design of
Raphael.

The X1 will sell fewer numbers at higher prices as a "prestige" premium product, to people with money to spend on nice showy gadgets. It has a little extra wow factor, but will come at a price.
The Raphael is the big unit shifter - I'll probably have one, as will anyone else who's simply looking for the best new WinMo device at the best price. It'll be offered relatively cheaply by all the major networks in various branded forms (as the Kaiser it replaces was), and sell by the pallet load as a "fleet" phone for big businesses. Both HTC and all the operator-branded variants are established names now, so it'll be interesting to see whether the Sony Ericsson brand sways any of those buyers. I suspect it won't, unless SE really squeeze those margins and knock out the X1 as a cut-price taster.

Now it's confirmed, Raphael is officially at the top of my list. Unless SE comes up with a worthy UIQ3 device, which seems less likely as time passes by.
I'm not too keen on WM but SE doesn't leave any other options.

I hate what T-Mobile has done to the back of Raphael and Diamond. The least the could have done is have the back the same colour as the front!
Why does Raphael say 3.1MP and Diamond 3.2MP? Is there an actual difference?

Between the x1 and htc Raphael its still the x1 for me. The 3.5mm jack and trackpad is too important to me. I also expect the x1 keyboard to be better, the raphael one looks like the tytn one and those keys are big but difficult to press in. But maybe I'm used to touchscreen now. The metal x1 keys would do better I expect, add the metal construction and bigger screen and better looks.
That said I wouldnt buy either since both phones will require you get the stylus out at some point or struggle pressing something with your finger and when you're in a rush its just not acceptable.
