X1's form factor dumps a load all over the competition though, its to bad that i have a feeling the htc touch brick will be more popular and have a better dev community.

All in all, the phone i purchase next has to have a good community to back it or i wont be buying it. X1's screen ratio is very limiting on terms of development and compatibility ]]>Aug 22nd 2008 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/xperia-x1-to-come-in-black-only/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/xperia-x1-to-come-in-black-only/

I just want to know what type of plans AT&T or whomever has this device will offer with it.

I know it's not likely but if it were on Sprint I'd definitely get the Simply Everything plan for it. This phone is just simply awesome. The only thing that I wish it had was a capacitive screen. But maybe the X2 will have that...]]>Aug 22nd 2008 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/xperia-x1-to-come-in-black-only/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/xperia-x1-to-come-in-black-only/

Tmo 3G AWS 1700 = UMTS 1700 (or more technically W-CDMA 1700, which is the transmission interface for UMTS). AWS is just the monicker for the US 1700/2100 band auction, and was just retroactively named "AWS 1700" because Tmo bought out the bulk of that spectrum for use in its 3G network.

Or to put it more bluntly, what other network uses UMTS 1700?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands#UMTS.2FHSDPA.2FHSUPA_frequency_bands_deployment

But I'd be surprised if the Xperia supported all 5 UMTS frequencies out of the box. More than likely there will be regional/carrier software that will only unlock specific frequencies.]]>Aug 22nd 2008 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/xperia-x1-to-come-in-black-only/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/xperia-x1-to-come-in-black-only/
Huh? In what respect?

I take it you're not talking about internet browsing or video playback, given the Omnia's low res screen (400*240 compared to X1's 800 x 400).]]>Aug 22nd 2008 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/xperia-x1-to-come-in-black-only/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/xperia-x1-to-come-in-black-only/Aug 22nd 2008 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/xperia-x1-to-come-in-black-only/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/xperia-x1-to-come-in-black-only/Aug 22nd 2008 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/xperia-x1-to-come-in-black-only/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/xperia-x1-to-come-in-black-only/
