There have been those that tried. THe N95 basically does everything. So does the E90 and the N82 dont see what you cant do with them that you can do with any other smartphone, push emails etc.....
I can do everything on my p910 too!
The X1 is aspiring to do everything but it cant, everything includes multimedia and gaming. Everything includes a decent cam, trust me on this, the 3.2Mpx on the X1 will underperform inless SE throw in one of their modules(I know you will argue with me on this one, but the performance of any of the X1 pics I've seen till date look similar to the Pro, but maybe they'd do good in the end like the Omnia)
BengalBoy just posted new pics from his vacation and they look impressive. So does the video. I have a Sony Alpha 350 DSLR and a VX2100, so all camera phones look crappy compared to those
I think all of the X1 functions in the "real-world" will be sufficient. What I've seen so far looks, at-minimum, satisfactory. I'm eager to see the final panel lineup and third party panels that are being developed as well as the final hardware spec.

What I meant is it does Business as well as multimedia.
I'm an amateur wildlife photographer and basically I understand what each product has to offer, I cant carry my EOS 40D(which also kicks your SOnys a***
) with the 300mm prime lens in my pocket now can I? I enjoyed using a W800i becuase of the awesome cam for its portability.
The X1 in real world situations will be satisfactory to the maximum not the minimum trust me on that. But since usage patterns vary from person to person you might think its gods gift to man while I might actually feel what a useless piece of crap. My ideal device I'm sure is quite different from yours. And the X1 by the standards of late 2008(Oct-Nov is late 2008) and early 2009 would definately not be my idea of an ideal device or even close to it. Not just for the X1 but the Touch Pro as well.

But, why the Omnia then ?

The cam, and the video playback, it supports upto DI @ 30fps. Actually mostly its the cam(I'm going to need a decent portable cam for the next year) and the reduced size of the phone. I'm fed up carrying bricks, so it was between the Omnia and the iPhone. At least for the next 10months to the year. Should see some great stuff by then. They're not my idea of ideal devices, but they are however the best compromises
. I'm not looking for a keyboard type phone, have the TyTn II for that.
Oh yes, and another phone might enter the list in the coming days, the Nokia Touch, depending on the processor specs and the build quality I might consider that as well.

Nasty Qualcomm processors. They sure blew it since all the major smartphone players might be looking elsewhere where the grass is greener after this disappointment. In fact, I might just skip the X1 and wait for the next P-series depending on what is offered at the next announcement

So, are you not into the "overall" functionality and feel of the phone? Just the hardware specs?

I'm not too concerned with the UI if thats what you mean. As long as it has all the softwares I want. In the last year I've used/worked with over 6 different interfaces, so any UI suits me fine.
Considering the hardware feel, I like well built devices, no creaks, they irk me. Thats why the Omnia or iPhone choice
.
Good hardware-software intergration is a must with efficent use of resources, my cellphone generally acts like a portable laptop
, most of my emails and half my posts are from my TyTn II.
You have to remember to make a good experience you need good hardware. Look at the iPhone, the experience is supposed to be un paralleled, I'm curious to see what thats like thats why I was considering one. The X1 lacks in that department, WM is no big help either as the OS assumes that all 3D requirements are taken care of by software. I hope this changes in WM7, then more manufacturers will concentrate on hardware acceleration and you'd see some awesome products coming out. Basically the X1 is'nt an amazing device not through any fault of SE's but more of a combination of factors which limit the devices potential such as the processor of choice and WM. It might be sufficient for you though, coming from a P910 it should be an amazing experience. But it just does'nt do it for me.

The iPhone is sexy soon as you start using it. You don't have to let it grow on you. You will see why Apple has sent all the manufacturers back to the drawing board to make their iPhone clones
I'm not an iPhone advocate, but, I give credit where it's due. I'm hoping Xperia comes close or gives us something unique in it's own right.

Xperia X1 = too little, too late (if ever).

It's still and always has been on schedule. It'll be here with the TouchPro.
