@ Naar

If you don't mind windows mobile then go ahead. The hardware platform is really good.

1. It doesn't support m2 because it's more oriented towards USA and microsd is more common than m2 in most of the countries including USA. (It isn't a Sony product since HTC is making the phone.)

2. There is a video call camera. It's on the front just really well hidden.

One of the red circled spaces holds the video call cam and the other the light sensor.

3. In my opinion the X1 would be better. Why do you want the P1i?
If you want to stay with UIQ then go for the G900,G700, G702 or the upcoming Paris (P5?). They should be faster than the P1i, also the G702 and Paris will have UIQ 3.3.

It's not manufactured by SE. But SE did the important part - the R&D.

Right, they also invented the wheel

They did the R&D for the HTC Diamond as well did'nt you know? As well as the HTC TyTnII, the TOuch Cruise and the entire line of HTC phones.

WHen you say R&D it means hardware platfrom and core OS functionality. SE did'nt do this, this is why they outsourced so that they can save on lead time and money on starting out with a new platfrom. What SE have done is only Application development as well as localization.

On a slightly minor note, Does the X1 have a toughen Sapphire glass for the screen?
My old Artemis and even my Touch Cruise had minor hairline scratches which appeared gradually from weeks of use,

I think Sony Ericsson would be including their own games... would be interesting to see what they come up with too. They unfortunately don't have an accelerometer in the X1, but hopefully the game can make use of the D-Pad, optical dpad, and perhaps even the keyboard.

I feel like I'm spamming the forums but I accidentally posted on the Whitepaper revision topic. Anyway my question would be, because this phone would have 256 MB ram, do you think the HTC Diamond interface: TouchFlo 3D Manila would work in this phone? I would think maybe the screensize may be a little odd...

Anyway, I just want Sony Ericsson to get rid of the windows Mobile look. Thank god we have X-Panels, but that's not enough. I would like Sony Ericsson to include something like TouchFlo 3D to replace that ugly home screen and provide fast shortcuts to browse photos, play music, read text messages, schedules, and notes application. This interface has been seen in Touchflo3D and Sony Ericsson's very own UIQ 3.0 devuces,

even with the touchflo 3d you will end up using the regular windows UI

With X-panels you are only two presses away from any app. How can you beat that?

As far as the Windows Mobile look, from what I've seen so far, the Sony apps don't have that look. Of course, it's all dependent upon how any specific app is written.

It seems to me the huge delay for the X1 is due to the development time required for custom X1 apps. If they wanted users to rely on legacy WM software, they probably could have released the X1 by now.

Messaging, emails, other available apps, any default windows apps will all be normal windows. What SE is doing is doing is developing a set of apps such as camera, today screen, RSS feeds, multimedia app etc.. which will be touch friendly. But when you do use it in everyday use you'll still get to se quite a bit of default windows, unless like some people all you do on your phone is turn it on use the cam and media player and thats about it, but generally for a person buying the X1 thats definately not what he has in mind.

Touch Flo also is the same, and thats basically a today screen plugin, should be able to port it to the X1, even though theres a resolution problem, what might happen would be some more empty space on the screen.

@WHyBe
The delay however does not include them "waiting" for X1 apps, if you believe this you will be sorely disappointed. I have from a reliable source that the delay is because they're taking time iover software optimization and localization. If they were "waiting" for devs to write apps, dont you think theyd need to havea frame work for developers to work on, or do the devs just know how the "modified" OS as you think it is works?
