I can understand how people would prefer their devices to be made purely in-house but outsourcing is common to many mobile manufacturers - its simple fact.
HTC is held in high regard in the industry and any company would do well collaborating with them.

It seems whenever SE come out with a new high end handset, i get my hands ready for it then somehow it tends to disappoint.
however this handset looks to tick all of the boxes, especially with the size of the handset, however not too impressed with the WM6 OS. I did like the UIQ 3.9 interface.
Well i guess i will have to wait until i get my hands on it.
I wonder which network will get their handset on it first, i hope the networks do not ruin the OS with branding.

Been thinking about the x1, i think it looks very nice, and if i was in the market for a win mobile phone, i would consider it. If the x1 was to be release right now, today, i would probably get it if i was in the market for a win mobile phone, but with it still quite a few months off i fear that it will be outdated already at release.
I like the design of it, i like the screen, but im not blown away at all by the rest of it. Nothing new really (the home screen thing looks cool, but depending on it implementation i think it might be a bit of pointless eye-candy.
One hope this doesnt turn into the new P990

I guess we've seen what Orange, Nokia and t-mob do with their existing WM devices, so I would expect it to be no different unless SE have some say as they did with the W800 walkman branding when it first came out

Now that we know more or less what X1 is about here's my question:
Since it seems to be more or less the equivalent of Tytn II, why wait 6-12 months for it? There will probably be a Tytn III by that time. This was just a marketing move by SE to gain some share of the US market. A clever move by the way since they didn't even build the device.
As far as I'm concerned, if I ever decide to buy a WM device I may consider the X1 along with other candidates. So until then, still waiting for what SE will offer as the P990 successor and the Nokia Symbian touch screen device to be announced.

Hahaha, Dont get so emotional. Have you ever heard of cost & benefit and outsourcing concepts in business???
And do you share the same sentiments for other manufacturers?????? coz:
1. Nokia uses "Carl Zeiss" & "Symbian"
2. Samsung partners with "Bang & Olufsen"
3. Certain models use "Windows Mobile"
4. And many more
I doubt there is a single phone company that manufacture its entire (software&hardware) device out of its own resources/technology.

Quite a while now, but some people are still saying that it's better! Maybe they've been out for quite a while, too...

I meant to reply to the people saying E90 is better then an unreleased phone which they havnt even tried yet.
I have a better idea, lets compare it to an I-phone instead O.o
No, actually dont, the I phone is toooo much better /sarcasm.
