But Boinng is right. This phone is almost the same as the x1. Why should I upgrade? Only to support SE? Dont think so. And there is also no confirmation that the devs at xda will support it. If it wasnt for them, the x1 would be A LOT worse then what it is now.

And the phone does lag, the panels are still just a gimmick and the accelometer should've been there in x1.
But whatever, I'm really looking forward to the new HTC stuff.

p.s. the pricetag is just ridiculous

What is the price?

And BTW, is it just me or does it seem as though there is little excitement surrounding this launch? Eons ago a release of just the tiniest matter had many a fans drooling. Seems less so now.

Some nice photos also side to side comparison with Diamond2, TouchPro2 and iPhone.

I'd like to know if those notification LEDs pulse from side to side KnightRider stylee!
That would be pretty slick.

I also hope they are more visible from the front of the phone because on the X1 they're pretty much invisible unless you look from the side or they reflect off something.

Just my thoughts: Prefer the look of the X2, that bit sleeker.
Better that the speakers are stereo and they seem to be at the ends of the phone, my hand always muffles the one on my X1.
Surprised they haven't improved on the X1 and added a camera flash, is this right?
Like the cursor keys but disappointed no dpad, why not have both? (and ditch the optical joystick, I've disabled it on my X1 but something keeps enabling it annoyingly)

Well this is an incremetal upgrade - and rightfully so; even if the basic specs where there for quite some time.

Improved Keyboard ~ which was a love/hate amongst 50/50% of users ~ is a welcome site.
Use of a more advanced GUI layout is pretty but it highlights 1 thing while hiding another:
1 - highlights Open GL 1.0 (which is behind the curve with iPhone 3GS, Satio, and N900.
- going with Open GL 2.0 would be nice but I'm not blaming SE here, but Microsoft as its not supported natively.
2 - hides the AMOLED screens weakness in bright sunlight/light. Nokia severly had the same issue on N85.
flush screen surface is what should've been used on the X1 (HTC Diamond already shown its worth to millions).
Stereo Speakers, if as load as the W995 it'll be VERY welcomed. iPhone 3GS is anemic at best.
TV-Out again woul've been nice on X1 but with horrible video recording its wasn't missed by many (I sure did).
Global release here.
Xperia Service ... this is GREAT as the entire handset market has yet to catch on to this (only Vertu has this).
Hardware video acceleration is beneficial, quite possibly OpenGL 2.0 will be supported down the road with FW update?!!

All in all this IS a decent device. Considering Rachel can STILL be screwed with hardware; this X2 serves its targeted market VERY well. It'll sell well against the horrible designs of the competition. That HTC TouchPro2 hinge looks like it'll be annoying and weak down the 6mth ownership road; we'll see.
