i noticed though that on the QWERTY keypad, the key to the left of the smiley button is labled as a blue rectangle. does anyone have an inkling what that key is for?
It's probably just a Function key, to access the symbols shared on other keys (also coloured blue).
The Smiley button is a lot more intriguing!
It's a shame there are no cursor keys (I guess they just expect you to use the screen/joypad thing, but I'm used to being able to use the keyboard for that on my Tytn II) - but OTOH, the keys look nicely spaced out and everything else is there, included a dedicated comma key - something I miss on my Tytn, where it's one of those symbols you need the Fn button for...

Hi all,
Seeing as few of you are wondering what i would be thinking here it is.
Firstly i think it it is a nice design and looks good the specs also seem good but it 's launch is to far off and this should of been a UIQ Device not a WM devcie as now it is juts like all the other WM devices out there.
A long with the fact that if it is being built by HTC with the software licensed from Microsoft it's not really going to do much for generating and increasing SE's profits even though it may help there market share.
Lastly i would like to point out just what a bunch of Hypocrites a lot of you are look through any of the Ty Tn v P1 type threads and you will see how many of you were happy to slag off WM for numerous perceived deficiencies but surprise surprise now SE is going to be using it is just wonderful and great so transparent and so sad. Yet again this nice product brings nothing new that isn't already available now and lets wait and see what the other manufacturers have in store and will deliver before this even hits the market.
Who knows maybe the P5 will be even better still than this?
Marc

There are some differences between the device shown in this thread and the "official" pictures
instead of blue rectangle we can see on X1 mini website "fn"
instead of smiley there is a "ctrl" button
last instead of windows button there is an "esc"...

On the live pics there is a secondary camera on the front. The presentation images dont show this either.

My first reaction on seeing this phone was positive. I didn't think SE had the heart to produce high spec phones anymore - perhaps token efforts, but this is more than that.
But, and its a biggy.... I would re-emphasize the point that has been made several times already: It REALLY IS IMPORTANT WHEN THIS PHONE ACTUALLY COMES OUT.
If available today, I think many would agree that SE has boosted its credentials and would give it top marks. However, if the phone does not appear, for example until the end of the year, then I'm afraid to say that I will be underwhelmed. By then, it will have been over taken and left behind.
Never before, can I remember the time line being so important for an SE new release. The clocks ticking... the jury is out!

I agree completely, we have to remember that as good as this phone looks right now, it's not a million miles away from some of the Windows Mobile kit that's already out there. If you compare this to the Tytn II for example, it has a better display and it's smaller/lighter - but then the Tytn II was released in October last year, and it's odds on that there will be a Tytn III appearing around October this year. What improvements is it likely to have? Better display, size and weight! In fact, since the X1 is reportedly made by HTC, we may even be looking at the Tytn III already, with just an SE-designed exterior!
If the X1 is released in July, say, the chances are it will really stand out. If it's released at the end of the year, it may well be lost amongst very similar devices.

suddenly, s60 feels less superior. SE's hardware aesthethics is fine and now with a promising tweaked and twisted OS it feels so much richer...
