I want WM, Rachael is on Android.
Plus no keyboard, no hardware controls.
End of the story.
I'm beginning to wonder do we really need a physical keyboard any longer. Apple with multitouch has done a fantastic job - I was hoping X2 would implement this. Also with the touch screen why do we need an optical scroll? It looks useful in landscape keyboard exposed mode but in portrait mode should it even be needed?
WM6.5 is much better than any previous version, looking much like the ZuneHD UI and its very functional and adjustable like apps similar to SPB Shell. The only REAL gamble is when WM7 is released next summer/fall would applications still be abundant, and costly for WM6.5 and previous versions. WM7 will break those apps currently out.
WM Experts or that other site will definately improve the speed on X2; which already is very fast.
SE was still arrogant not to include auto rotation, when the hardware is now there to support it.
oh and @Tigon, thanks for the video. That is something
should have released. Their official video barely shows X2 at all and only 1/3 of the length of the video do we see X2. Stupid marketing department.
Rachel looks interesting but I'm not banking on it having equal specs or getting Android upgrades. T-mobile usa is already getting screwed by updated android being left out of their HTC 'myTouch' 2nd gen android device.

Not everyone wants a virtual keyboard that takes up half or 2/3 of the screen, and not everyone wants/need a iPhone clone, diversity is needed.

Well I don't wonder - NO KEYBOARD = NO DEVICE.
Any virtual keyb is an ultimate
CR..P compared to a real one.
I mean for quick sms is fine,
but for serious email and office docs - is ultimately needed.
Plus c'mon - don't you just see how much
more functional are these hardware keyboards,
compared to actually retarded virtual ones?
Yes the virual one takes most of the screen - quite pathetic for me...
As for WM, the best one of the virtual is.... default one, however too small, it has the best functions!

Funny, 'cos it's a quite positive preview from Eldar:

For me, a hardware keyboard is what really makes having a phone like this worthwhile. Virtual keyboards use a lot of screen space and I wouldn't want the phone to be much wider than it is. I also avoid touching the screen with my fingers to keep it clean, using a stylus wouldn't give the advantages of a QWERTY keyboard. But maybe I'm just a greaseball!
Everyone has different tastes, but I think the hardware keyboard is one of the X1 and X2's biggest strengths.

Not sure there's such a thing as a "pure" SE these days - but the X2 happens to be made by Foxconn, not HTC. Very similar internal design though (same processor).
