However, I'm "in the market" for a phone that has a decent keyboard, touchscreen or tactile. The iPhone's keyboard is terrible, I can't imagine ever typing anything much on that keyboard. If the Touch HD's touchscreen keyboard is comfortable and easy to use, then there's no question that I'm getting it. However, if the keyboard is lacking, I might pick up this phone instead.]]>Sep 18th 2008 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/xperia-x1-gets-examined-in-depth-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/xperia-x1-gets-examined-in-depth-on-video/Still, I'm waiting for WM7 to come into play.]]>Sep 18th 2008 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/xperia-x1-gets-examined-in-depth-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/xperia-x1-gets-examined-in-depth-on-video/Sep 18th 2008 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/xperia-x1-gets-examined-in-depth-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/xperia-x1-gets-examined-in-depth-on-video/Bitterness will kill you.

Although I'm starting to wonder.. is the screen the only thing that sets this apart from other touchscreen smart phones?
I personally like the TouchFlo 3D UI much more than the panels..]]>Sep 18th 2008 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/xperia-x1-gets-examined-in-depth-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/xperia-x1-gets-examined-in-depth-on-video/
Also, im not even slightly interested in panels. TBH, it looks like something that all winmo phones shouldve had from day one. Whats so special about a task manager that shows you video of running task instead of text? And the applications doesnt even look to be exclusive. Any sdk that sony releases has one of two option: either it will limit what developers can do to make sure it only works with xperia or it will do nothing and allows these apps to work on other phones (touch hd in this case or that asus phone). Its just a bunch of punches in the gut.

I know what they wanted to do. They wanted this phone to spark some sort of mega community to back it, but with multiple delays, and phones with better technology at cheaper prices, i dont see this ever happening. Sony missed its mark by a couple of months here. As in for now, this phone is officially overhyped. It looks pretty damn good though lol. It will not out peform the touchpro (lower res, same specs, no way), and it will not out shine the touch hd (same res, bigger screen, better specs, no way). I dont see anyone buying this out of raw power or usability. The people that will are the ones with cash to blow or the ones that only care about aesthetics.

also

They should both get some credit cause they posted at almost the same time (therefore prolly independent of each other).

The Touch HD is still my phone of choice, because i dont really need the keyboard. But for those who need it, this one is the best option.

The Omnia was dead the second i saw it. Way too low a resolution. Besides, the new Asus phone with the trackball does what the Omnia should have done.]]>Sep 18th 2008 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/xperia-x1-gets-examined-in-depth-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/xperia-x1-gets-examined-in-depth-on-video/Sep 18th 2008 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/xperia-x1-gets-examined-in-depth-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/xperia-x1-gets-examined-in-depth-on-video/
Still, the X1 is nice. It still is a 800x480 screen, it still has a slide out keyboard, it still has that cool little overlap thingie, it's still comparable to the Touch HD/Pro/Diamond and the iPhone.

Of course, there's the Windows Mobile hunters that lurk around this site ready to pounce on its flaws and inferiority.]]>Sep 18th 2008 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/xperia-x1-gets-examined-in-depth-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/xperia-x1-gets-examined-in-depth-on-video/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7R90A7ZqLU
