Is this the children's corner? This doesn't even sound business-like. Sounds like a high-schooler making up his own "insider" news story.

Just got it of the forum mate im sure its not waffle.

So basically it means what we all saw a few weeks ago is probably what we will get. ie: no eye candy perhaps.

Anyway time to move on to the Diamond me thinks.

Certaintly looks that way. To be fair those wanting X1 shouldnt be too disheartened as X1 was mostly Diamond underneath anyway just not as snazzy looking so in that sense HTC have done you a favour.

Before SE announced X1 and that the manufacturer of the device will be HTC, latter couldn't provide their customer with decent GPU drivers. After SE made clear, that X1 will use 3D acceleration and they will provide the correct drivers for this, HTC made a new touch device, suddenly using the Qualcomm architecture's 3D acceleration. Don't you see the connection?

First: I don't think you should believe in such hoaxes, especially if they state that UIQ3.3 will have all the missing and wanted features of X1. UIQ is still a tentative and evolving operating system GUI, it looks promising (compared to UIQ3.0), but it doesn't support as many hardware platforms as WM and manufacturers need to understand, that today's mobile devices need more than a 200MHz CPU...

Second: if HTC can build an iPhone-like device with fast UI based on WM6.1, why couldn't SE (obviously they use HTC's debug and developer tools, we can see this on the "the-unwired" video among the programs)? X1 won't come with Touchflow 3D, but there will be a chance that ROM "cookers" will make it available for the newer WM6.1 devices.

Third: what if SE buys the end product from HTC and puts its logo and name on it? I don't care until the device is top-notch

@norti,

What makes you believe that UIQ3.3 will still only be using 200mhz processors? As all the feed back given so far is that the next Gen UIQ 3.3 devices will indeed have up to date specs including faster processors.

Most if not all of us still prefer the UIQ interface and it's potential and were only really disappointed by the lack of up to date hardware and the lack of stability. If these two points are addressed in the soon to be announced UIQ 3.3 devices it is where many of us will look for our next devices.

This latest news about the X1 really isn't good and i wouldn't be to quick to discount the source either as Eldar tends to be very well informed.

Marc

The new 3D shell on a shell TouchFlo 3D looks amazing on the DIamond, pity its got only 4GB memory, if it had a mem card slot it would have been a kick ass phone . Prefer that UI to the current UIQ anyday, the current UIQ UI seems so........dated, WM can be freshened up with stuff like pointUI etc..

Anyway Marc, I would take Eldars word with a pinch of salt really, he mentioned that the X1 was running on WM 6.5 when it was first announced, not putting him down or anything, but sometimes even reliable sources might dish out un reliable info due to change in specs etc. from the manufacturers end. I suggest we wait a bit, they've got till september which is a long time in the tech world as you know.

Regarding the processor, I read somewhere(methinks unreliable) that its based on an Intel PXA270(hahahahhaha...........I seriously hope not), if it is based on the OMAP 3 series, has 192+MB RAM, Wifi b/g//n(hopefully) a decent cam, not those pieces of crap SE calls sensors in the current crop of cam phones, a decent screen which is transflective, I heard the new Diamond screen is hard, some type of glass(not capacitive though), etc... if it does'nt cover these basic requirements they'd be way of the mark, still lagging behind the N95 in terms of raw specs and bang for the buck.

Often he is wrong. I agree with you that if he is right then this is really bad for SE. This was/is the one time I was/am willing to ignore the fact that this is a windows mobile device.

Hi all

Actually this is what worries about SE now a days that they seem able to announce many great things it's the delivery that seems to let them down of late.

Jah posted this link to a SE event on another forum about a third of the way through the Head of Marketing demo's a X1 but pay attention to what he says and tell me what you think. As personally i find some of of his comments truly stunning.

Here is the link
