I heard some heresay about there being ads on Android? Is this true? Because if so that would be a HUGE con for me. (It's unfortunate for the Zune HD as well; it looked pretty good.)

No fanaticism please. WinMo with TouchFlo 3D, Android and other open source OSs, and iPhone's OS are all great on the basis of design, usability, and ORGANIZATION. I don't care how far into the OS you can customize, if it doesn't organize and display my data properly, I don't care much for it.]]>Sep 21st 2009 1:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/Sep 21st 2009 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/Sep 21st 2009 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/Sep 20th 2009 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/Sep 20th 2009 11:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/
The REAL phones (and by real I'm not talking about toy phones like the iPhone, mind you), such as the HTC Touch Pro2, Toshiba TG01 and HTC Leo all use Windows Mobile, and hardware wise, they're the best out there. Now if you're pretty sleek in your own way, chances are you have flashed a ROM or two using sites such as PPCGeeks or XDA-Developers to hack in whatever the heck you want into Windows Mobile.

With Windows Mobile 7 coming around the corner, things are only bound to get better from here on out.]]>Sep 20th 2009 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/Sep 20th 2009 11:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/WinMo. MS Project Pink has become a reality for MS now that WinMo OEM business has
finally demised.

At this rate WinMo market share could easily shrunk below 5% in the coming
months. Perhaps, WinMo is losing their install base faster than Palm?

I think the Android fans out there are slightly bitter that they have to wait before they can get the hardware Windows Mobile gets. Read the comments to see this.

If a company chooses to to go 50-50 (Andoid and WinMo) it more likely means they are trying to increase their Market share by reaching a wider audience.

@Brad - your math makes the stupid assumption that the OEM will still be selling the same volume and both sets of devices will be equally as popular.

Then again just use the phone you like and dont be too envious of WinMo Hardware.]]>Sep 21st 2009 6:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/Sep 21st 2009 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/Sep 20th 2009 11:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/Sep 20th 2009 11:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/
back to the topic....that is one sexy looking screen. I love the way they make their own "slide-to-unlock" screen lock. Definitely better than stock android's screen lock and look sleeker too.

If this thing has qwerty keyboard, 3.5mm jack, FM radio, and Tmo HSDPA band, then I will reconsider my plan for getting Motorola CLIQ. That screen look very delicious.]]>Sep 20th 2009 11:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/lmao, +1.]]>Sep 20th 2009 11:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/
Dude i'll be surprised if that phone even makes it to America. How many high end SE phones make it here? Of course, this is Android so maybe it'll be different (crosses fingers). And I doubt from those pictures that it has a physical keyboard but that would be nice]]>Sep 20th 2009 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/
I know it's a wishful thinking, but one can only wish. I know none of the US carrier will carry Xperia series phone but I can always get it unlocked (and pay crazy amount of money for that too).

The fist Xperia has Tmo HSDPA frequency band (not carried/subsidized by Tmobile), so that's why I'm hoping this one will have the same band too. I don't mind paying a pretty large amount of money in exchange for freedom to use this Snapdragon-powered, Android-OS loaded phone without any contract. Say what you want, but I don't like commitment (I said the same thing to my GF too...lol)

Besides, there's always ebay or some shady 3rd party Tmo dealers in chinatown that will get me this phone]]>Sep 21st 2009 12:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/I want HTC Touch Pro3 with Snapdragon processor, 512 RAM, 4" OLED screen with resolution of 854x480, same awesome keyboard, speakers and tilt as Touch Pro2, dual-touch capacitive screen you can use a stylus on, Windows Mobile 7 with TouchFLO 3.0, 5MP camera on both back and front, WiMax chip, at least 8 hours of battery life when talking, same size or smaller than current Touch Pro2, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, all audio and video codecs/containers supported, including H.264+FLAC in .MKV format.

Did I miss something?]]>Sep 21st 2009 12:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/
Hmm....That's quite a wish list, but I found some discrepencies. You want "4in. OLED screen" that has "same size or smaller than current TP2"? current TP2 only has 3.6in screen (based on GSMarena spec) so I don't know how will that "4in. OLED screen" can be same size or smaller than 3.6in. screen (unless you doing some meta-physics measurement or something)...

also 5mp front-facing camera is kinda overkill don't ya think (especially if you using any US wireless carrier...unless you ARE residing in japan)? The rest of the stuffs i kinda agreed with you, but Nokia N900 already has most of that features you listed above. It's not snapdragon, but it's the next best thing for now. ]]>Sep 21st 2009 1:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/
It's fairly possibly to fit a 4" screen in the TP2 form factor. Notice how I said 854x480 resolution? This is to make the screen 16:9, hence wider, taking out the zoom bar (since you'll be zooming using dual touch), and reducing the borders, a 0.4" increase can be EASILY done.
I agree that the front camera might be overkill, but here I hope, that with WiMax and LTE, America moves into video call, one can only wish. Also would be great if it can record in 720p HD.

Again, that's like a true DREAM phone.

This comes from a very reliable source off the esato forums (Largest SE forum).

Im not saying he is right, but he has been pretty much always been correct. but remember, all we know at the moment is mostly speculation. X2 was supposed to have 3.5 oled now it has 3.2 tft.

It would be a dream, but im not holding my breath]]>Sep 20th 2009 11:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/Sep 20th 2009 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/Sep 20th 2009 11:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/Sep 20th 2009 11:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/Sep 20th 2009 11:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/Sep 20th 2009 11:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/Sep 20th 2009 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/Sep 20th 2009 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/Sep 20th 2009 11:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/is-this-sony-ericssons-android-powered-xperia-x3/
