Very interesting discussion
The more I read about P5, the more I think X1 will be my next phone.

Do you think you can type on that keyboard like on a real computer one, or do you have to use your thumbs only? And same question with the nokia E90?
I like P1 keyboard and i'm afraid to be slower with a bigger keyboard for thumbs only.. Can anyone who uses P1 and tytn2/E90 make a comparison between the two types of keyboard?

When do you think we'll get infos about xperia interface?

(sorry for my english)

I own a TyTn II and I use to own an M600, used a P1i for a while as well.

The P1i, you need thumbs to use of course.
WIth the TyTn II you can type on it like a computer, although the keys are a bit cramped.

My typing was faster on the P1i but thats only because the TyTn II keypad does'nt respond instantaneously after 1 key press to the next, you need to give a fraction of a second delay between keypresses, not a very big issue though. Expect that to be fixed on the X1.

P1i keypad is nicer in a sense as you can use it on the go, partly one handedly if required.
TyTn II you need to use the touchscreen keypad if 1 handed is required.

I find the TyTn II keypad great if you're sitting at a table and if you have to type out something more lengthy, it just feels more comfortable for typing at long lengths, but if all you need it for is SMS and a few emails then the P1i has an extremely good keypad once you get used to it.

ANy other questions regarding the keypad you'd like answered?

INfo regarding the Xperia interface should be out when the first final protoypes are prepared and we get reviews from Mobile Review and GSM Arena .

Any more questions?

There are already tons of previews on YouTube and various mobile phone sites.

Among those videos is the Fish tank and in one of the previews, the camera software was demonstrated (somewhat buggy at the time though).

Here is the video I was refering to. You get a glimpse of the radio interface and camera. It's obvious is doing more than just providing panels on top of WM.

There is a lot of substantial info in the BengalBoy review also.

You guys really dont get it do you?

Of course you can make finger friendly apps, most of the apps will be finger friendly thats taken for granted, most of the apps out there are already finger friendly from HTCs cam to their contact manager. BUT as soon as a dialog box opens its back to Windows tiny x to close or tiny ok button. If you need to close it you need to press the tiny "x". The bottom tabs are still small. There is still not support for gestures except for kinetic scrolling. Even if SE do not provide finger friendly apps there are several out there already. WHy is this so hard for you to understand?

You can press the panels button to leave any program and enter another. Also, the task manager has a feature to automatically close 'X'ed programs [releases resources instead of staying resident] to maximize available memory.
