first the unprecedented announcement that it hasn't been delayed, and actually giving an shipping date... and now this
To me it was just a marketing excercise to keep the momentum of interest going following months of speculation about delays/performance/features etc

No the questions are as fake and set up as Johnny himself!

@Tigershark: Add to that the fact that they seemed to think the X1 was worth buying just for its expensive materials. He kept likening it to a fine suit. I mean, they can't expect people to pay a large amount for a phone just because it is metal. If you ask customers to choose between a cheaper phone made of plastic, and an expensive phone with the same features which has some metal bits, the customers will take the cheaper option almost all the time. Consumers aren't that thick.

Hi Masseur,
If that was the purpose it failed IMHO, what it did achieve was to reinforce my belief that
is to use a great British expression "All fur coat and no knickers" these days! In other words lots of show but nothing underneath.
I sent about 20 emails nothing doing! the ones that were read out were so obviously conceived in house it was a joke.
I just hope this thing is built properly, I hear the battery cover is a problem yet again can you shed any light? and yet all they banged on about were the quality of materials used all very well but if you don't know how to put them together you still end up with a pile of Poo!

@Muhammad-Oli: Very true. Sigh, we will just have to continue to read between the lines, I suppose. No direct answers from SE, just more doubt. I fail to understand- how can you decline talking about the future here, when this thing is such an investment? It sets you back alot of money, but the point is it has way more functionality and will last a few years, and after that time it wont be completely outdated. I want to know that if I buy it, it will remain top of the range for a long time, that it will be maintained as such at least on the software side. Instead, they tell me it is premium (now), and they tell me there is basically a possibility it could be replaced (tomorrow?). Get real.
Oh and one more thing: If I had spent that long with a WinMo PDA (what was it, 6 months or so he said?) and all I could say about it at the end was that its made of nice metal and it has panel desktops to it- I think I would deserve to be shot! So many ardent fans waiting for something like this, and the ones we are meant to buy it from make us feel so stupid...

Lets face it
want to sell us a new unit every 18 months, this ism ade somewhat more affordable for most of us by the networks subsidizing each unit they add to a contract. But for those who want a virgin product the only solution will be to keep spending !

Apparently an on-demand version of the webcast will be available soon, presumably from the same website as the one the webcast was broadcast on. You'll find the link in the first post of this thread if you really wanna waste your time. Bored perhaps.

Never had any expectations from this webcast...I couldn't understand why there was so much hoopla about this event...
Rather than leaking Xperia panel vids to mobile sites..SE decided to project the Xperia on a slightly larger scale..adding to that marketing gimmicks like JohnnyX..
Just a PR exercise as Masseur rightly said.
