Nope, unfortunately not. But would be cool if it was some time soon, seeing T610 was announced in 2003 (Q2?). That would make a nice 5 year anniversary

But I need new technology and a good processor. X1 is the only one having it from SE and probably nothing will eclipse it for a loooong time.
The way I see it, higher processing power with WM more or less equals a lower processor with Symbian. In addition, WM devices have always had a battery problem. Let's wait until HTC Touch Pro hits the market, I'm not entirely sure what shape the X1 will be in and with WM7 just around the corner, it makes sense to stick to P1 until 2009.

ya know TIA for the pic mizz, however ...
they need to start by changing their platform so that its up to nice date, and then see where it stands against current competition and then IMPROVE IT.
which is exactly what i KNOW they tried to do with the paris situation. but paris wasnt up to date it was 2007 so itll be harder for them to bump if history is a precendent, but more power to them if they excecute!
i dont think its the engineers at SE i think its the programmers/management. engineers have one track minds, that is to create something excellent and focused, a reflection of their personalities ... the programmers cant keep up and the management has no vision for the company.

Indeed! That would be immense! Will Erik Ahlgren (!) be responsible for the new one then? I hope so. Won't look the same with the new keypad layout though, the extra Call and End buttons spoil the original design,. unless its based on the T650 chassis that is.

Can it be assumed the W960 successor will be announced at the big Walkman announcement sometime in the future? That would be nice.
I am trying to logically reason what OS it will run. The phone's probably been in development at least since the W960 came out, which was long before this Symbian Foundation thing was thought of, so it may be running UIQ--which is a double-edged sword. While UIQ is preferable, personally, to WM (at least as far as UI goes), I can't see how advanced it could possibly be besides 16GB of memory. GPS can be assumed given Paris and BeiBei, but unless there's something going on no one is aware of, it'll probably unfortunately be using the old architecture or at least a variation thereof. But I hope I'm wrong.

your hopes and thoughts are shared 100%. Hopefully the Call/End buttons will be ditched in the next-gen Java UI at the latest as they are self explanatory to most users and doing away with them allows more elegant design solutions. The T650 is living proof of that.

Ok, BUT 208mHz processor cannot compete in any way with a 528mHz processor in TouchPro/X1. No chance.
But maybe it's good to wait. I still think what to do.

correct! And only the N95s 330mhz OMAP CPU can compete against it. I can set it as my minimum CPU and i'll be safe. Too bad not plenty of phones to choose these days. But that situation vastly improve in two years. Thanks to the Symbian Foundation!

My thoughts exactly. By H1 2009 when WM7 is announced/released, Id really want to buy an X1 made for that new OS. In other words, what I want is an X1 with WM7 running on it. But Im pretty sure WM7 wont be compatible with the X1 the way it is. Theres no way theyre gonna limit WM to 65k colours this time. Not if theyve chosen apple as their competitor, anyway.
Im also really hoping they do away with the concept of the task manager in its current state of use. Ive never used it before to be honest, but I can say that with any PC running Windows, you only ever NEED to open the task manager when there is a problem. I dont see why it should be any different on the mobile version.
If they can correct those things, keep d-pad use, pretty-up the UI like they apparently plan to do, then I just could not care less for symbian. If they do these things, then to me its a great OS (and it will still be the most powerful there is!). I wanna see what that brings. Its interesting because I think WM7 will be better than Symbian Foundation in most ways, and a whole year before SF is even ready to use.
