First :) Yer I'm not really feeling the XPERIA X1. It's looking ok but the OS doesn't seem as refined as it could be, it seems a tad sluggish and could have done with a bit more work. Hopefully with updates they will improve the speed and function of the X1. It's definetly not a valid competitor to the iPhone though, even though I don't think that's really what they're trying to compete with.
hey there dudes... please note the version in the video is not a final version of the firmware and is a early version sent out for testing that may have made it onto a batch, by the time the phone is released for the mass worldwide market you will get the new version of the firmware with a lot less lag, there are several videos on youtube that showcase this from the launch party.
also note... INDIAN ROCKS... cuz well.. ahem ahem. ^^^^^ done by indians... saving SE's arse as i like to call it...
That's not true dude, they said this thing's pretty much finished in the last interview video they posted. Plus, when the phone gets to this point, they aren't looking to overhaul the OS code to make it run more smoothly - they already know how smoothly it runs; they are just looking for bug testers to find something they haven't found in their own tests.
I, for one, am also disappointed - I think these phones shouldn't be lagging at this point.. It's a full year after the iPhone, which has plenty of its own laggy moments, but a full year is like an eon in tech measurements. They should be able to cram twice the ram, video memory, etc., into these things to reduce the lag.
Then again, I don't know what the specs are on this phone. They could have upped the specs, and WinMo just might not have been optimized for what they were trying to do. The phone does sound very feature-packed though, and that one little bit of lag in the video is kind of a small thing to complain about.
Now, if the XPeria's sequel gets a Tegra chip, uuhghshhhghsdhghhgdrool
They sped up the panels interface quite a bit before the actual Final release. It was one of the last things they did, so this might not be the "retail" firmware. And from other videos ive seen, it doesnt look like it is.
the software is older and since it is a beta handset the ram and rom in the phone is less then the ones that have started shipping. trust me, my best mate works for SE and is handling/keep a very good eye on... the X1 project.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

The OS is lagging quite a bit. This is a really big disappointment to me. I thought the X1 would surpass the HTC Touch Pro but I guess not.
