For all we know, the "X2" is in development right now and will be based on the Next-Gen platform.
If someone does release a Next-Gen so soon in 2009, who would release it? RIM, HTC, SE, Apple, Samsung, etc. are all releasing their top products right now. Maybe, due to price-points, the first iteration of next-gen phones will be mid-range because fully featured ones would cost too much. Another factor is that software must be developed to take advantage of Next-Gen hardware.
Hmmm, something to think about...

I think X2 should use Windows Mobile 7.0, not Mindows Mobile 6.1.

@ Mediar
The successor of the X1 can also use UIQ.

The next generation devices are already well under development to think otherwise is just unrealistic and you missed NOKIA in that list. Who although only releasing a mid range touch device this year have more and higher spec devices coming H1 2009. HTC will have WM7 early 2009 as will most of the other manufacturers and if not WM7 they will have devices based on next Generation chip's.
SE just don't release follow up premium devices so fast and never have done, you can expect at least a Year before you see an upgrade. Anyway who's going to by an upgrade to their expensive device only a matter of months later? We are not talking a $100 throw away phone here but a $1000+ device.
As for the Pimp being the Oracle of truth well that's just so funny, The Boy Genius Breaks far more exclusives and has a far better reputation than Pimp man ever will. His bans and reputation proceed him only the minority(SE Faithful) hang on his every word and for good reason to.

I am very new to the mobile scene, I dont want to offend boy genius The review of the X1 by him seems somewhat lackadaisical, I am not sure about his reputation but people do speak high of him, Maybe hes a little camera shy, and tends just to thumb around the device twisting it limp wristed like its unimportant, (hehehe) However Marc hits it on the head of the nail (till theres sparks) and goes into the much details about the minor idiosyncrasies in the device which is very refreshing, but to be honest after seeing boy genius view I had a slight negative view to the X1, but the bengal boy pimped it up so to speak for me, I just hope there isnt the dreaded bluetooth problem which i had in my Touch cruise which i corrected used a hot reflow rework tool on the cpu, its reassuring that Marc says that the sony ericsson bluetooth stack is rugged and more developed than other manufacturers

Once again, you've just restated what I already said about next-gen devices. Thanks
I not into whose better, BengalBoy or BoyGenius, I don't know. But BengalBoy's review is obviously very thorough..not thrown together. I've gotten more info from BB about X1 than BG.

Why does TouchFlo 3D need a button? What does the button do?

TouchFlo is actually not one thing. Its an entire package, one component of HTC's touch flo is included in the X1 and thats the Kinetic Scrolling bit. I think maybe the finger friendly start menu as well as top bar maybe included as well. I doubt the today plugin which many refer to as TOuchFLo 2.0 is part of the package this is highly unlikely as SE have their own today plugin, not 3D and stuff, thats taken care of by the panels. What you achivev using HTC's touch flo you can achieve on the X1 with the panels, and I suppose the Media Player should be superior to HTC's solutions, but I'd still use CorePlayer due to the varied number of codecs is supports.

Thanks aksd:
But, is a hardware TouchFlo button necessary (if it really exists on the X1)?
