As another XDA member i have also never seen a poll re X-1 versus Touch pro, having said that im not so sure that HTC users give a flying fig about polls, they care more about the device itself.

Back again,
Ok guys now had a few weeks getting to know the XdaSerra aka
HtcTouchPro
So my results, and remember these are my findings, personnal preferences.
1) HTC Flush screen, amazing i dont have to contort my grown up finger, or resort to the stylus to open the start menu. i just Touch the screen.
2) External speaker, instead of being at a point on the phone where my hand rather inconveniently covers it up, HTC have put it on the back where it provides clear sound.
3) Touch flo, one easy layout, that from day one was understandable and usable for grown up fingers.
4) Texting, i can do this one handed, just like a real phone, i dont need to open the keyboard or get the stylus out.
5) All icons and menus are for grown up fingers.
6) Operating manual, HTC 300 pages plus, SE X-1 manual 30 pages plus.
7) Keyboard, white letters on black keys, so easy to read.
No panels, just easy straight forward navigation.
What dont i like, what SE did get right,
The 3 mm headphone socket, HTC should have put that on their own device.
Camera button exactly where it should be.
Plaese feel free to make your own lists, as i said these are just my preferences, anyhow go to it guys and good luck.

The poll seems pretty suss to me. XDA devs isn't like Esato, the majority of people there are simply interested in getting the best out of their particular device and that's pretty much it. I've been a member there for a couple of years and I think today's the first time I've even wandered into the "general" section..
HTC hasn't been much of a brand until recently and many of the devices on that forum were marketed under an arrary of brand names like Dopod, XDA, Qtek etc, so the concepts of brand loyalty and fanboyism aren't well known. I wonder if the introduction of SE fans en masse may have changed that...

XDA isn't useless at all, XDA is just better than the silly grandstanding and fanboyism that goes on in places like this, where a phone like the X1 is "teh winner!!!111" because it's got the SE name on it.
That poll's so out of keeping with XDA generally, I suspect it's just been targeted by the SE faithful.

I just did a bit of maths on the forum numbers - XDA's X1 forums contain a total of 70,788 posts. The Touch Pro's forums have 142,096 posts, twice as many, and yet in the poll the X1 is supposedly twice as good/popular as the Touch Pro. Likely? Or the result of the typical HTC/Winmo voting being spread across many devices, and the smaller SE crowd being focussed on one?
PS - 130,929 posts on the Touch HD if anyone's wondering, again almost twice that of the X1. Of course they might all have been saying "this phone's terrible, I wish I'd bought an X1" but I've a hunch that's not the case.
